You got it Doc, strength + supple = stable. And you are right for us who are over the hill. If I could go back and do things over again, one item that I would not neglect would be stretching, particularly through my 40's and now much further along (57). Yoga/power yoga/stretching isn't exciting but it is what makes the other more effective.
Jeremy is headed to college in about 10 days. He had a variety of offers but decided to go the JC route in Kansas. He sat out a year because he graduated high school early (his dumb Dad didn't hold him back earlier) and he didn't want to start college at a young 17 when most kids from the south are getting out of HS at 19. We will see how he does now. RHP are a dime a dozen. His strength is not velocity but movement and the ability to throw strikes with 3 pitches (FB, knuckle curve and change). Plus at 6'5" he gets more vertical movement that most. I will remind him about the "Recovery" but he is good about the stretching balance required. If only that dumb Dad were as diligent!!!
