Baseball Coaching Tips: A Very Sneaky Way To Help Your Teammate Steal A Base! Sports Articles | August 27 Cheap Aleix Garcia Jersey , 2010 Read what very few know about how you can help your teammate when he's attempting to steal a base. Why do baseball announcers say that the hitter swung at the pitch to protect the runner? Ridiculous. The runner is not in danger. Try this instead and show everyone how well schooled in baseball you are.?
A base runner breaks for second base for a stolen base attempt. The batter swings at the pitch and quite often a baseball announcer will say that the batter swung to protect the runner. Was the runner in some type of danger and needed protection? No. The runner is simply trying to steal a base. Forget this protecting the runner nonsense and a much better option for the batter is to help the base runner instead.
1) Square around as if to bunt even though you have no intention of bunting.
2) Place the bat at approximately the eye level of the catcher.
3) At the last second, pull the bat away and do not attempt the bunt.
This will slightly block the vision of the catcher when he tries to catch the ball and also will prevent him from aggressively jumping out of his stance and gaining momentum toward the base he's throwing to.
Catchers don't like this because they can't make their normal throw that they practice all the time. It disrupts their timing as well as their footwork. There's a good chance the catcher's throw will not be a good one. You will be helping your base runner tremendously and not "protecting" him. Catchers work on their footwork constantly. They usually have it down to a science and for it to be disrupted ever so slightly could very well turn into a very erratic throw. Your runner may not just get the base he's attempting to steal but may very well get an additional base if the catcher's throw sails into the outfield.
It's a very effective play and one of the smartest baseball coaching tips you will learn. Very few baseball players or baseball coaches know about it and that's why it is not done often.
Please note well that this should be used at advanced levels of play only. It should not be used by young players that are just starting out and learning to play baseball. There is a huge difference between baseball coaching tips for young players and baseball coaching tips for players at the high school level of play and beyond. Eight to ten year old players compared to players that are fifteen years old and up should be coached accordingly. Let's not lose sight of that fact.
At older levels of play, help out your teammate and show your coaches, teammates and everyone else how well schooled you are!
Everybody likes a good story and why not? Stories are entertaining, instructive, engaging and above all human; they connect people to people, and businesses to customers. Stories are about communication and communication is the essence of marketing.
We have at our disposal the greatest communication tool the world has ever known Wholesale Manchester City Jerseys , the Internet, and we are wasting it. Websites are used as if they were corporate brochures. The techno-experts would even have us remove its visual and kinetic elements, and turn it into an academic-style journal to please the SEO gurus. We've been there and done that. Search engine optimization is great, but who is going to go to your website if it's boring to view, and tedious to operate. It's time to move on.
A Communication Venue For The Rest of Us
The Web is a multimedia communication venue Cheap Manchester City FC Jerseys , and with increased bandwidth and high-speed connections we can use it effectively to deliver our marketing messages. But communication is a funny thing, just because we talk, write and present information, doesn't mean we are communicating.
Since I am advocating storytelling as a means of delivering your marketing messages, I will illustrate my point - you guessed it - with a story. In his book 'Information Anxiety Cheap Manchester City Jerseys ,' Richard Saul Wurman relates the following story attributed to U.S. Representative Pat Swindall, of Georgia.
"A woman seeking a divorce went to visit her attorney. The first question he asked her was, 'Do you have grounds?'
She replied, 'Yes, about two acres.'
'Perhaps I'm not making myself clear Cheap Yaya Toure Jersey ,' he said, 'Do you have a grudge?'
'No, but we have a carport,' she responded.
'Let me try again. Does your husband beat you up?' he said impatiently.
At this point the attorney decided to try a different tack. 'Ma'am, are you sure you really want a divorce?'
'I don't want one at all, but my husband does. He claims we have difficulty communicating.'"
It's a great story; it delivers everything a good story should communicate: a appoint-of-view, information, emotion Cheap Vincent Kompany Jersey , and truth about the human condition. The only thing that would make this story more effective is if it was delivered by a human voice that could add character, emphasis, and personality.
Marketing is nothing more than telling your story in an effective way that embeds your identity into the minds of your audience, connecting and communicating who you are, what you do Cheap Tosin Adarabioyo Jersey , and why your audience should be doing it with you. Branding and positioning are the results, not the process.
