For your question if it's softball specific, this program focuses on weight loss and strength gain. The answer is a yes and no. If your objective to start of your conditioning is to lose weight, it's yes. No, because the drills are not specific for softball. A complete conditioning program will start on building a conditioning base (that's where this program can be used) then continue to sports specific drills, then to plyometrics, speed strength The term plyometrics have often been abused by alot of instructors. I haven't seen the video but I hope he explains what it is, the proper way of doing it and when someone can do it. You have to have good foundational strength to go into plyometrics (atleast you can carry your own body weight, and do squats) this strength is acquired during the 1st phase of your conditioning program. I also would like to stress on safety, when plyometrics is done try to do it on a softer surface which may absorb your fall and make sure to wear proper footware to add with absorption of force or you may put too much stress on your knees.

P90X helped to re-invent ourselves. This was a major overhaul to those girls who stuck-ed with the program. At the beginning of every week of P90X the team would write any negatives on paper,crumble it (no body read what each person wrote) and as a team watch all those negatives burn away on the Bar-B-Que Grill. This reinforced the sense of renewal in them! My daughter who also pitches lost an incredible 9 pounds and 2 1/2 inches and put on some muscle. Her team mates lost about 6 pounds with inches and put on muscle as well. This P90X Program requires commitment that has potential to become a life style. Now when we do agility training the girls strive to compete against each other to see who is the fastest. TX Young Guns P90X has done for us (team) what hill sprints, running, etc. couldn’t do.

And by the way, you can check out my picture on my site! I also believe that P90x also has a great help to athletes since they need more energy on their activities.
