Hi Friend,
Stealing Bases is a super fun way to help your team score more runs by getting you into scoring position easier. I was an all-league, leadoff hitter and center fielder for my high school team and stealing bases was a great strength of mine. I'm not very fast, but I'm very quick and I was very technical with my base stealing, which helped me to get good jumps and beat the throws. I mostly stole 2nd, many times 3rd and once home, and I believe I stole, 2nd, 3rd & home consecutively against a good, rival pitcher.
What does base stealing mean to you and why am I writing a post about it? It probably doesn't mean much at all. You probably don't play baseball or softball and you may not have ever played and you most likely won't ever play, however it's a great & fun way to get your cardio minutes in while you practice speed, agility, quickness and whole body reaction from a dead stop. I have 3 videos I found to share what I'm looking for you to do in class and 3 Tips.
Your coach,
Mike Alves
