How to maximize Off Season Time

It's the off-season.
It's time to:
1) Rest and recover from last season.
2) Heal injuries.
3) Do conditioning to get faster, stronger, more powerful, andprevent injuries.
4) Work on fundamentals.
In other words, it's time to get better for next season!
Often, people wonder - what should I do more of?
In an ideal world - everything!
In reality, there is just not enough time.
Fundamentals is the most important as softball is a highlytechnical sport that requires you to master a variety ofcomplex skills.
Within fundamentals, should you more defense (throwing, fielding)or offense(hitting, bunting, etc.)?
My answer is: offense.
Especially if you are in an indoor environment for part ofthe year because of the winter.
Why?
Because hitting is like golf, it takes A LOT of time tolearn, refine, and master. It's even harder than golf becauseyou're hitting a moving object.
Because it's like pitching - you need to work on it for hoursto improve a little at a time. To get your mechanics and yourtiming right.
Of course, you need to work on defense. But you can change themechanics of fielding and throwing much faster than you canchange the mechanics of hitting.
Pitching and hitting should be the MAIN focus of the off-season.
Then, defense and conditioning are next in line.
If you want a split, I would spent 60-70% of the time on the firsttwo and 30-40% of the time on the next two.
Train hard. Play hard.
