Training is covered, too.
Professional trainer Gene Olivieri covers stretching techniques and the do's and don'ts of the weight room.

Because my poor English, I can't express it well that how wonderful this book is. But after read this book, I got the most significant improvement not only technique but also mental enhancement, even more than what I learned in seven years of playing baseball before.
