Pitching and Catching features Mississippi State University's Pat McMahon, who was considered one of the top collegiate pitching coaches in the nation before being named head coach. Fielding features Jack Leggett of Clemson University. Since taking over the Clemson program, Leggett has consistently had his team in the hunt for the ACC and regional titles, and he is highly sought on the clinic circuit throughout the country. These three videos cover all the essential skills a baseball player needs to compete successfully. On each tape an expert teaches key techniques for improving execution and provides a selection of the best drills for mastering the primary skills. Special coaching points provide insight into learning or performing certain skills and correcting common errors.

Can i have some quaterback help & advice ! ?

I am starting for team in November. The team im playing for is the national youth champs of the UK. i hope to do be the second string qb so i can challenge. I have heard its a run heavy offense.

About me:

I have a good arm and cool under pressure
6 foot 3
200lbs
16 years old

i need to hit the gym abit after tearing my hamstring this summer and need to regain fitness and pump some iron.

What would you recommend doing? drills, workouts, weights

my first question is did you actually tear the hamstring or was it a pull? that's going to make a significant difference in what you need to do.

if it was just a pull a few weeks rest and it should be fully recovered and you'll be ready to go back to work. if it's a tear you're going to be out more than a few weeks, more like a few months.

but, if everything is back to normal here are a few tips: 1st work on your footwork. arm strength is good but footwork makes all the difference. know the depth of your drops, 3 yards, 5, 7, get your feet set and step into your throws. never throw off your back foot. the other thing i would concentrate on is accuracy. if you may have the strongest arm on the planet but if you can't hit your receivers what good does it do the team. a good drill we used to do here in the states was to hang an old tire from a tree, swng it back and try to throw a ball through it.

hope this helps some
good luck
