In this episode of the OGX Podcast, Krista Swip and Laura McDonald break down the critical transition from preseason into in season training for softball athletes.
They discuss how workload spikes once games begin, why soft tissue soreness is often the first warning sign, and how strength and conditioning programs must adapt to support high intensity skill work. The conversation covers overhand throwing volume, injury prevention strategies, nutrition considerations, and the importance of continuing athlete development even when the season is underway.
Krista and Laura also emphasize the role of performance data in guiding decisions and why communication between athletes, coaches, and trainers is essential for managing in season demands.
This episode is a must listen for coaches, parents, and athletes navigating the challenges of keeping players healthy, prepared, and developing throughout the season.
