Tricks of the Trade: Leaves and Broomsicks

You forgot all about mama's old broom. There are many ways to help youngsters develop and improve their baseballs eye-hand coordination.

Just the good reading habit of eye fixations on the page you are reading is another example. Baseball hitting coach how in the world did you know reading habit helps with baseball hitting?

Shooting pool but that might cause trouble right here in River City.

In the fall, when the leaves begin to fall from the trees and a breeze is blowing, have your little one try to catch a leaf.

The first try is liable to see him stumbling and grabbing and missing but soon he relaxes and will catch and put that golden leaf in his pocket.

That's one leaf he's taking home to show Mama. Hitting coach mentioned mama's old broom would help us do a little practicing of eye and hand coordination control. Standing still, have the youngster place the handle of the broom in the palm of his hand.

No gripping with the fingers, palm up and hand open balance the broom without it falling.

He will soon master looking up watching the broom head while moving his hand to control that top heavy old dust sweeper.

The eye hand coordination is working overtime sending electrical impulses faster than a run away passenger train, faster than the IBM, Xerox, Hewlett Packard or Dell computer combined, and much quicker than a hiccup.

Standing still is hard a plenty. Now he graduates to stiffer competition. Make him walk around the house controlling and not letting it fall. Try it, you will love it, "Mikey did."

Just about every thing we do helps in teaching us and improves our eye hand coordination but we are not content with everyday doing. Out there on the baseball diamond our hitting coach watches every move we make when we have a bat in our grip at the plate.

Our goal is to rush the cadence and master this action so we will consistently put the bat on that little white baseball now.

Did I say, "Hit for getting on base safely? Did I say, "Hit to knock a line drive?" Did I say, "Knock the ball out of the park?"

No, we simply need to develop the ability to consistently put good solid lick of the bat on the ball.

Nothing and I mean nothing short of excellent eye-hand coordination will accomplish this nor please a baseball hitting coach more.

If there is something else then you go find it.

It just so happens there is a coach his name is Keith Hodges and you will find him at 2 Create A Baseball Player.com he dwells upon this need for eye coordination at Baseball Vision Training.
