Meet the “Quad Lunge,” one of the best hip flexor and quadricep stretches around. This stretch is especially beneficial to catchers, who have chronically short and tight hip flexors and quads due to squatting all game, every game.

The above video is pretty self-explanatory, but one thing you want to make sure of is that your back knee is behind your back hip.  You’ll find, in addition, that this stretch demands good balance, and using something on which to steady yourself is a good idea. Flexibility is crucial to moving effectively as an athlete, so don’t neglect to stretch regularly!
