What’s the Difference Between Softball Training and Practicing?
Both softball training and practice should be an integral part of any serious athlete’s workout regimen. However, these two terms are often used interchangeably when they actually mean two very different things.
When a player practices a skill, their focus is on getting enough repetitions in so that they can perform the movement instinctively during play. Training is less about repetitions and more about improvements. When an athlete trains, they will work on performing skills better than they ever have before and will broaden their knowledge and expertise in play strategy. This not only makes for strong and skilled players on the softball field, but it ensures that players understand the game well enough to make smart decisions in a variety of game situations.
Why is Softball Training Important?
In addition to helping improve game knowledge, softball athletic training offers many other benefits that include improved endurance levels, skill sets, and strength. When these improve, confidence and motivation on the field skyrocket, which lifts the entire team to a new level of play.
Training is also key to improving flexibility, agility, and recovery time, which can help lessen the risk of injury. A smart training program will run all year long, maintaining aspects of your game during the season and peaking at strategic times as well as ramping up conditioning efforts in the off season.
