Insider Secrets: Using Your Hands To Smack The Baseball
In all my years of baseball I can't ever remember hearing two similar theories on driving the hands to the baseball. In fact, this step of the swing is largely over looked and under trained. Consequently, in my younger years, the most that was ever taught to me was, "keep your hands inside the ball" or "drive the knob back at the pitcher". Although those are two great pieces of advice, they don't... (posted by Robert 1 year 185 days ago.)

Developing On Groundwork, Goal Setting, And Playoff Baseball For Everyone
Between one run ball games, walk-off wins, and a competitive series between two teams, it's hard not to get excited about playoff baseball. After a long grueling season of 162 games, only 8 out of 27 teams make it into the spotlight. As I sit here and watch Derek Lowe of Atlanta pitch the second game of the series on short rest, I can't help but to admire the preparation and... (posted by Robert 1 year 206 days ago.)

How To Correct Playing Through Pain On The Baseball Field
Open communication is one of the hardest things to establish between two people. For whatever reason, things get lost in translation when someone speaks and someone listens. For that reason, it is imperative that players and coaches are constantly asking one another questions to make sure you are both on the same page. I met with a young 15 year old baseball player the other night who had been... (posted by Robert 1 year 215 days ago.)
