Good afternoon. I am writing to share with you something we are calling "ABC Rewind". My over ambitous plan each week is to provide a look-in at what is going on around the ABC Nation using video, pictures and data points. We have put together a page on the Austin Baseball Club main website (www.austinbaseballclub.com) under Explore ABC titled weekly ABC Rewind. The weekly Rewind will serve several purposes:
- a sneak peek at what you might have missed
- a look-in for parents at what your ball players are up to
- accountability that the ABC program is delivering on our purpose
- an opportunity for others to witness for themselves, the ABC Difference
INVEST IN YOURSELF
raise your bar - raise your ceiling
The weekly
Rewind video below from last week provides a sneak peek at some of the following activites, drills, and workshops from last week's May "3 for 3" program:
- Swingtherapy sessions: step back/drive ball drills, elevated front leg batting tee drill designed to force ball players to stay on top of the ball; mental skills workshop hosted Sunday at north faclity
- Dynamic defense/SAQ drills: feet in motion/quick hands, quick throw
- Skills testing: players established bench marks for arm strength (MPH) and bat speed. These bench marks will serve as motivating factors for improvement
- Wed field practice (not shown): dynamic warm up, long toss, daily drills, dynamic defense drills (accurate throwing challenges while under duress, while body is moving awkwardly; quick hands drills, get ball in & out of glove, etc). Skills/drills to becoming more dynamic on the bases.
Have a great rest of the day.
Go Take on the Game,
Coach Prater
