Carl Crawford works hard

Crawford practices sideways leaping. The smallest detail matters to Crawford, who has special meals prepared by a nutritionist delivered each day. 'Carl’s the example I always come back to,' said Lee Fiocchi, Crawford's trainer. 'When I have other big leaguers come in, I’ll show them different video of Carl and I’ll tell them, ‘That’s what you want to look like.’ He makes it look effortless, but it comes from the deliberate practice.'
