I am a NCAA D1 athlete and have questions about the upcoming MLB Draft and Eligibility, can I consult an advisor?

According to NCAA Memorandum May 2019, You are allowed to have an advisor to advise you regarding the process provided the advisor does not market you to MLB teams. However, an advisor will be considered an agent if they contact teams on your behalf to arrange private workouts or tryouts. Under NCAA regulations, you and your parents are permitted to receive advice from a lawyer or other individuals concerning a proposed professional sports contract, provided the advisor does not represent you directly in negotiations for the contract. In this regard, it is permissible for an advisor to discuss with you the merits of a proposed contract and give you suggestions about the type of offer you should consider. In order to maintain your eligibility at an NCAA school, however, this advisor may not serve as a link between you and the professional sports team. Rather, you must view the advisor as an extension of your own interests and not as a source to contact a professional team. If the advisor has direct contact with a professional team regarding you or your status, whether independently or per your request or direction, the advisor shall be considered an agent and you have jeopardized your eligibility at an NCAA school. For example, an advisor may not be present during the discussions of a contract offer with a professional team or have any direct contact (including, but not limited to, in person, by telephone, text message, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, email or mail) with the professional sports team on your behalf.

What are the benefits of having a personal trainer?

The first benefit a trainer provides is motivation to the client that may be lacking in his or her absence. Pace is very important during a training session and the trainer will be there every step of the way.

Structure is the second benefit. Without structure, there is no purpose and the client is lost on his fitness journey. Workout programs should be provided to keep the client on a straight and concise path.

Accountability is the third benefit. When a client works with a personal trainer, it’s the trainers job to make sure the client is held accountable, which means simply showing up with a whatever it takes attitude. Certain standards should be set to move toward that goal or accomplishment. The trainer provides that.

Most people know and try to practice at least one of these concepts on a regular basis, but consistency and the success of the trainer/client relationships while working out can provide exceptional results.

What can a trainer do for me when I have questions about nutrition, diet, aches and pains, etc. ?

When it comes to questions that the client may have about nutrition, diet, and muscle pain the trainer has to follow what is called scope of practice. Scope of practice is defined as the actions, procedures, and processes that a professional is allowed to undertake in keeping with the terms of the professional’s license or credential. A personal trainer can provide a service when it comes to working out the individual or give nutritional advice. However, the trainer is not allowed to write up diet plans for client or prescribe medicine for muscle aches and pains. It is best to refer the client to a registered dietician or a physical therapist for that so they can handle the matter.

What are the primary muscle groups that trainers focus on when designing programs for clients?

The primary muscle groups that are targeted in program design are chest, shoulders, biceps, triceps, hips, abdominals, back, legs, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calfs. Depending on the sport the athlete is doing, certain muscle groups are used more than others, but it is important to have a strong foundation all around. Remember, everything is based off of a strong core. Knowing the various functions of muscles allows the fitness professional to implement specific strategies to prevent injury and increase power, endurance, and strength.
