Slavik Starts Baseball Blog

Eagle Baseball Club's Charles Slavik is offering his advice and insight into the application of strength and conditioning training for baseball athletes on a new blog at The Slav's Blog - Baseball 24-7-365.

Slavik wrote, "Hopefully we can generate some constructive discussion among players, coaches and parents interested in baseball, softball and strength and conditioning issues at the youth levels.  I look forward to disseminating what we expect will be information useful to anyone interested in improving performance on the baseball and softball field through intelligent training and conditioning."

Slavik & Eagle Baseball Move to Illinois
