Importance of Flexibility

I recently was able to have lunch with one of the best stretching coaches in the country in Aaron Mattes.  As we had a very good conversation about the importance of flexibility in sports he told me one thing that stuck with me and that was the average player can increase their performance greatly if they can enhance their flexibility.  It's important to make stretching a daily routine not just when you exercise.  Baseball and Softball is an explosive sport and to be explosive you need flexible muscles.  Don't drop the ball and remember stretch at least once a day using AIS (Active Isolated Stretching).
