How To Master Baseball PDF Download

Anyone attempting to learn one of the most difficult skills in sports - or charged with teaching it - will delight in DISCIPLE OF A MASTER, an A to Z guide that carefully outlines correct baseball batting technique in a lively & photo-filled text. By breaking the skill down into its component parts, author, hitter & expert teacher Steve Ferroli (Phys. Ed., Bridgewater State College, 1982) provides young athletes & coaches with precise instructions for building hitting ability, all the while creating an enthusiastic learning environment with every paragraph. "This book is remarkable & works on several levels." (Baseball Hobby News). His physical education & coaching background furnishing the biomechanical & kinesiological rationale, Ferroli covers the basics of stance, cocking actions, stride, hip rotation & arm execution. This book teaches kids how to hit, leaving nothing uncovered, from bat selection to knowing what pitches deserve a batter's swing. Ferroli then packs this information into every page with insight, clarity & occasional humor. His strident belief is that batting potential is more a function of technique than raw talent, a belief for which he provides historical support, & one which opens up the enjoyment of the skill to a large segment of the student-athlete population. DISCIPLE OF A MASTER is endorsed & foreworded by Hall of Fame baseball player Ted Williams, who views it as an extension & defense" of his own time-honored techniques. "Steve Ferroli teaches hitting exactly the way it should be taught." (Ted Williams). Lavishly illustrated & equally applicable to softball, it is full of drills & practice suggestions designed to meet the needs of a wide variety of coaches, instructors & athletes, from physical eduction classes & intermurals to interscholastic competition.
