My son will be 15 in Sept. going into 9th grade. My son’s bat has always been his strong point (very confident at the plate).
He pitches and plays first base. He’s about 6 ‘ 1″ now and still growing fast.
His coaches think Jesse will make the HS team because of his bat. Others feel his running speed may hold him back if I don’t get him help.
It’s been disturbing to me over the past year, because he hasn’t improved from the year before.
So, we can’t wait to begin using your band training system.
Yesterday, just after watching the form and techniques you described in your video, my son increased his time running from home to first base by 0.7 seconds from just improving his sprinting form.
At the start of practice he ran 5.34 and 5.17 second runs to first, which is his typical runs. I started him performing some of your exercises and leg lifts, etc., and described your prescribed posture.
His next run was 4.93. We talked about where he slowed down (2/3 of the way). His next run was 4.52. He’s never done better than 4.9 in the past.
I believe your explanation of running technique was huge in terms of his immediate improvement. My son is now excited and eager to beat 4 seconds.
Next year he tries out for the high school baseball team. He’s got a great bat, good arm(pitcher) but he’s terribly slow. One of the requirements for H.S is a <4 second run to first base. thanks for your help
We’ve purchased a hitting program that has improved his batting, but nothing comes close to the immediate improvement to his running on the first day after reviewing your program.
These are exciting times! He’s more enthused to exercise and perform the drills (like you suggest) every night since he can see a quick improvement.
Thanks again, You have a very informative webpage message.
