Want Youth Baseball Training Tips & Tricks
Which Will Have Your Youngster Hitting The Longest Yard Over The Boundary
Fence?!
From the desk of: Matt Dimmock
Dear Amateur Baseball Player,
Since you’ve found this website I suppose it’s ok to
let you know… “I’m a Baseball addict.”
The truth is, I’m always on the internet looking for baseball
tips and tricks. That’s what led me to put this website
up. Let me explain…
While surfing around the internet, I stumbled upon something so
fantastic that it immediately got my attention… You see, a
few months ago I was doing some research on Mr. John M. Rosenburg
- one of the most well-known and respected trainers of the last
century and of all time. I noticed that most of his work was available
and accounted for with the exception of one of his most important
pieces of work, ‘Coaching Youth Baseball’.
Well, this got me curious and so I started digging a little deeper. I started sending off a few emails asking questions, but unfortunately, every road I seemed to head down was a dead end… until a couple of weeks ago that is…
By a stroke of luck, I emailed my story to one of my favorite site’s webmasters… as it turned out he had an old copy of this difficult to find book - it was right under my damn nose. After numerous emails, I finally got him to mail me his copy.
Even though it was first published in 1960, this book has the best baseball training information I have ever seen.
In the 25 chapters here’s just a snippet of what is covered:
How to master the art of ‘batting
and bunting’-- this critical technique will give your youngster
the edge on the field.
How to stand properly -- Learn how
important proper stance is; your arm and hand positions will determine
a 100 yard hit or a strike!.
Whyarm and hand
positions will determine a 100 yard hit or a strike.
4 important youth baseball training
secrets you must know on how to swing properly which will have
your boy hitting home runs repeatedly.
How to field and throw like a world
pro
Running and sliding -- Discover tips
from the best players in the world for one of most important baseball
skills which will make or break the game
The secrets about pitching to show
you how to have the strongest arm on the team
At this point, you might be wondering how you can get your hands
on a copy…
Well here’s the good news.
After doing even more research (I told you I was a baseball addict)
I have contacted the original copyright owners and gained permission
to republish Mr. John M. Rosenburg’s complete work on this
website.
Because baseball is my passion and I want to share it with as many
people as possible, I’ve decided to do something complete
unheard of these days. Believe it or not, I’m going to let
you have this amazing manuscript for free.
Now you have no excuse for not being able to play baseball, just
like the guy in the John Fogarty’s song, ‘Centerfield’.
