Pilates For Sports will strengthen your core, develop strong balanced muscles around the joints and enable you to develop a strong stable base. This will enable you to generate explosive power when you run and when you hit or throw the ball.

EFFICIENCY
An inefficient running stride means that you are using more energy than you need to run at that pace. Pilates for Sports teaches runners to be aware of how they are currently running and then helps runners build a strong core to ensure that every bit of power they generate goes into their running stride. This comes about through the strengthening of the powerhouse, knowledge of how to engage it and the correct tracking of the arms and legs. This controlled efficient movement will also reduce the chance of injury.

RANGE OF MOTION
If the range of motion in the shoulders, trunk, hips, knees or ankles are limited then it will increase the likelihood of pain and injury as some muscles will overwork to try to deliver the range of motion the player requires. The Pilates For Sports program works to develop an effective range of motion in the whole body thereby reducing your chance of pain and injury.

SHOULDER MOBILITY
If a baseballer does not have good shoulder mobility then it can lead to injury and loss of power. Lets look at this in a bit more detail. If the range of motion in the shoulder is limited then it will lead to some muscles overworking in order to get the range of motion required for the throw, hit or pitch. This can lead to pain and even injury. If the range of motion in the shoulder is limited it will decrease the arc of the swing or throw which will limit the power output. Pilates For Sports will improve shoulder mobility and stability and enable the baseballer to produce maximum speed and power with reduced chance of injury.

STABILITY
To help you understand the benefits that a strong and stable core can provide baseball players, picture a cannon on a canoe out in the middle of a lake. Now, if that cannon fires, it won’t be able to shoot very far because the canoe will wobble and capsize, as it can’t handle the force of the cannon. In this scenario the players arms and legs are the cannon and their wobbly core is the canoe on a lake, which can't handle the power being produced because of its instability. However, put that cannon on a concrete platform and the result is very different. From that stable base, maximum power can be directed to the cannonball, resulting in the cannon being able to fire to it’s full potential. Just as a baseball player with a strong and stable core can transfer the maximum force generated to run fast and generate maximum power from their hit, throw or pitch.

CONTROL
Poor posture will impact a baseball players ability to control their body which in turn will impact their ability to generate power and maintain good form throughout their season. Pilates for Sports is designed to improve posture, make players aware of how they are moving, and then teach them to strengthen and engage their core and muscles so that maximum body control can be achieved. The result is increased power when you hit or throw the ball and a decreased chance of injury.

REDUCED PAIN & INJURY
Baseball requires lots of repetition in order to fine tune your batting, throwing and pitching technique. If your muscles around a joint are unbalanced and your core is weak, it means that some muscles will have to overwork to produce a movement. Over time, with lots of repetitious movement, this can lead to pain and even injury. Pilates For Sports will strengthen your core and help you to develop strong balanced muscles so that you can run, throw, hit and pitch efficiently with good form and with decreased chance of pain and injury.
SPEED & AGILITY
The ability to start and sprint in a straight line is vital in baseball. So too is the ability to stop, start and change direction. Running is all about technique yet many of us don't really think about form - we just run. Pilates for Sport makes you aware of how you are currently running, teaches you how you should be running and then gives you the core strength and muscle balance to improve your speed and agility.
