The assistant baseball coach at Iowa Lakes Community College was recently published in a supplement to the Sports Journal.

Daniel Acosta, assistant baseball coach, was selected by the Sports Journal to be published for an article he wrote on "All Athletes Can Benefit from Performance Flexibility."

In the article, Acosta talks about how important it is to stretch; stretching techniques utilized within a flexibility program; key elements to stretching; and the benefits of stretching. He also covers the seven different types of stretching techniques.

"Many coaches put their players through a quick process because most of them must deal with time restrictions while utilizing facilities," Acosta wrote in the article.

He urged coaches to dedicate the necessary time to utilize a proper flexibility program.

Acosta has been the assistant baseball coach at Iowa Lakes since January of 2006.
