Strength Training Tips: 4 Tips To Increasing Strength Fast

I don’t care what sport you do…

…if your stronger it’s gonna help to be better.

Now strength training and bodybuilding are different. You have to know your goals.

Strength Training vs. Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding, aimed at developing each and every single muscle, does increase strength, but it’s sole purpose is not to increase strength per say.

When you’re body building you usually do sets of 8-15 reps and 5 sets (first one being a warm up). Then you try to work each muscle group with 12-16 sets of various exercises.

You totally fatigue the muscle group and work your sets to Read more

Playing Softball In Australia – Part #1: Recruited to Play

I’m not sure if you all are aware of it or not, but I played softball in Australia for 1 year on 2 different teams in Western Australia.

Now, this may not sound so exciting to you, but I’m from Canada, and basically, you can’t get any further away than Australia! It’s on the other side of the Earth to me!

How?
To make a long story short: Softball Australia contacted Softball Canada and told them they needed a pitcher to play on a local team and hopefully, play for the Western Australian State Team.

Well, to make another long story short: One of the heads saw me at our Provincial Tournament, when I had just turned 18, and we actually lost the game and missed the finals.

Packing my things up at the bench, I was approached by the lady and she asked me if I would like to go to Australia to play softball for 1 year completely paid for. She told me she knew I had what it takes and she chose me!

I had just graduated high school and hadn’t committed to any university in the USA yet, so I jumped at the chance! Then, I told my parents I was leaving in 1 week! LOL…

What’s Different About Softball in Australia?
Apart from the very different people you’re playing against, who happen to be completely fearless, tough people, only a little bit.
