Head First Sliding: Recipe For Disaster. SEE PHOTO OF BAD HEAD FIRST SLIDE
Head first sliding to return to a base to avoid a catcher or pitcher pickoff. Not to paralyze a base stealer and baseball player. Does anyone believe this kid was taught to slide this way? Coaches wake up. control your players, and effectively teach a bent-leg pop-up with a fadeaway to each side of a base or home.
