At the college level, you can pretty much make your athletes do what you want them to do. At the pro level you can t because what they re doing is going to have a direct result on their paycheck. You have to remember this is their profession, so you have to be flexible. You need to compromise. <br>Compromise, Alejo points out, must be made because it s the best course of action, and this is where experience counts.  Earlier in my career I may not have been quite so apt to question someone s opinion or theory on conditioning, he says.  Now that I m older I ve got no problem telling someone what I know and where I stand compared to what they know. I believe that s a problem with new coaches. Until you have stability in the profession and considerable knowledge gained by experience, it s tough to tell someone, no, that s not right. <br><br>Alejo s influence extends beyond the A s playing field, another indication of his success at this level. Most pro athletes, especially some of the bigger name players on the A s, have a respectable knowledge and interest in conditioning. Slugger Canseco even has his own book on weight training for baseball. Therefore, developing a rapport with his athletes is essential for Alejo in guiding and integrating the training the players do on their own into the overall conditioning levels dictated by the team and the game.<br><br> I know these guys and have been around them long enough that if they want to go off on their own and try something, they know to come to me to have a look at it first, says Alejo, who often encourages players to branch out on their own during the winter with his approval, that is.  When I design a program, we sit down together and go over what makes them tick, what can make them better ball players. Their input is just as important, as far as I m concerned, as my knowledge and experience. There s got to be mutual respect. <br><br>Alejo s Challenge<br><br>Alejo is as much involved in coaching his team to a great season as he is in continuing his personal quest to integrate solid weight training programs into the off and in-season training for every baseball team, at every level. He and the A s have already accomplished much to that end in the five years he s been with the team KJo\`7; P6CJ֝c4#˪!'G̩JB }JWþ%}+*סw7F )A5+PR+|u1SJn<1M"><0" +#M0Eڅ ڟ<ޓ{⢽+W׊xٕʞBʽkNV{r lXp"#fOǞ^Ʋ 䄚?OJ 6T=iN  #ܠwE L(u'EڗkI.ZU+W8^K-Hs4Z/>}oΓ{{;% T$j*Q9 31 t;.i\#Z_S˺j3JaK?ߍI%#El79'A=*wJSDx^:ca4Y 4bPeI~E>x{B!#(5fDh7񲤊~ |/cQ^ʰZ/1MC@n~亄c0ҧ95w&^4o6\Ob=`  #Y@^Jn'qBA1 GNn J0U#f.M\5WuY*(HYţo9ɧL`^>6E 7ޞe +Ҡw#cƬjE)ZTd?@ Wm-Sa47ݛu*va^=1TmA._2Wc|:)x< G??4}4Ǟ;:횉fAЊr<2AAʠ+ ;ދn#7 9nv^sCZt2cJ$5~PԝsV QH*1A#=b{my+AVWQ\QFa? 4=Ծd&5Gr6@ jA=4h hʥ9Q'1#QGկnWA˽^zb\'T~~' eqsocjַ.์lMqWyyƓ%X]^k f~xcc40M6QPnsy0'6! #IQNSOw| |V\gyddՀ~>ؖXjV+T{.e#/?Ә2,Y\R*qF8Y[( 0TuQsќޘs7R>RJ~hg}.g,;q&]os<`3Qmfe+ԏd[Y03յM48=[#sۛВa0 +urp@$큵yu(."gۯ(`,{sZi5ψUW{7,\!V;MAs7l+iKpJJF)oÈw8d=IN'yfci@7뇶w@Aƫ_L&cl njfDI Jeo,[BECX{j,aWFE<2_Ř< a`aLF Թǚ@ڡ&ez;Ҁ〫Kfl wӏf4wp.* i#V>[O(i=T0ͅw:-O&٥ 'mtxx"Ej-v: P}9 9]gBaiG"pkSjSP#Ꟙך[-XPk4lT5e[6^(dZ? %I;OOJNK;KPqWb@mֹ>D"/=P5ib?OE&*O*#y h%WFckURTg@ 2MѮ5 `8e^- ~rEg5Uh]"''U,N,IMj>- oV#sl )-y8ϝ[2Y&ql ѴȕNFH&qǐ aZƵKQn--GZ v5=} }=po"S q- Tl[k >P|p|Z:P.d O؊hTM6ΥB$e#ԔL풁m #Ȏ[2+@ڱ vqVCp^QNmS)޶1V64'zƗ^}aƜƪI޻|YNHo* Kd}RŏڽTdO@ j +^ #%:iAs2q)
