Life will be different moving forward with distance, safety, and caution a priority. We will find new ways to do a lot of things. As ominous as that may sound, if you look at how it will slow us down, there is much to look forward to. With the classroom at home in the future for many of you, extracurricular activities must be scrutinized, evaluated, changed, or limited with the cost of your decisions always a factor.
As a parent, you are always looking for better ways to educate, play, and interact with your children, so why not...
BECOME AN INFIELD INSTRUCTOR!
The choices of where you can find good instruction can be daunting, but... with my 18,000-word, fifty-four-page instructional document aptly titled...
"HOW TO FIELD A GROUND BALL"
...you can become the best instructor your youngster will ever have with help from the most comprehensive explanation of the fielding process that can be found anywhere. Professional infield coaches are unaware of some of what my document explains.
You've done all you can to provide your youngster with the best baseball instruction you can find, and you may be spending thousands of dollars to make certain he or she has the best facilities and coaches available. You've put in time going back and forth to practices, maybe spending weekends following a travel team, and, though you may be pleased with everything, you don't really know how effective any program, or its instructors are, or if it is worth the money it costs. You may, at least, be satisfied that your child has enjoyed the experience, but why don't you...
TEACH YOUR YOUNGSTER YOURSELF?
"Parents who invest in costly baseball "schools," clinics, one on one sessions, and travel teams hoping to improve the play of their youngsters are oblivious to how little they receive in return for their investment. One drawback to the instruction being paid for is that there is no way for the average parent to determine its value. Most parents have to accept what they are being told and sold, and whether the instructors have amateur, or professional experience, credentials are too often misleading."
From "HOW TO FIELD A GROUND BALL" by Ted Kubiak
During my playing days I was considered one of the best infielders in the major leagues.

"HOW TO FIELD A GROUND BALL..."
...will give you the best instructional information on the fielding process that you will find anywhere. I will explain the fundamentals of the fielding process, and tell you how the movements are executed.
How great would it be to know that you were responsible for your youngster's improvement?
"The instructional curricula of every profit-oriented "baseball school" is very much the same. There is nothing significantly different when comparing one program to another. Missing in each of them, never practiced, discussed, referenced, or even mentioned are the movements and actions that create the critical timing, rhythm, balance, and control that are the heart and soul of the fielding process. There is no reason for this dismissal."
From "HOW TO FIELD A GROUND BALL" by Ted Kubiak The recommendations in my document are written in an easy-to-understand narrative. It will be like reading a book. It will be easy for you to follow.
It will give you detailed information about every movement and action that is required to field a ground ball successfully and consistently that no "baseball school," clinic, indoor facility, internet site, or one-on-one instructional session will. The formats of all of those programs are based on the execution of a number of drills that have been determined over the years to be important, but they will not help your youngster.
MY METHOD OF INSTRUCTION DID NOT RELY ON DRILLS.
I have studied the fielding process. No one understands or can explain it like I can. With my document as a guide, you can improve how well your child fields a ground ball. You will be giving him or her the individual attention he or she deserves.
"It is easy to be fooled into believing that a drill is responsible for the improvement of an infielder, but only the smallest percentage of players will be positively affected by the practice 0f a specific movement or action that any one drill demands. The exceptional instructor knows how to evaluate an infielder and adapt his knowledge and teachings to the infielder's natural athleticism in a way that enhances far more efficiently, and more correctly, the intended worth of any drill."

FREE VIDEO EVALUATION
SEND ME.. ...a video of the infielder fielding at least fifty ground balls at various locations of his or her position. Use your judgment as to how many balls are fielded but be sure I get a good sampling of the infielder's ability. The balls should be ROLLED, NOT HIT from a distance of about ten yards.Give the player time to return to the starting position each time before the next ball is rolled. An IPhone video would be ideal.
EVERY BALL MUST BE FIELDED WITH TWO HANDS.
NO BALLS ARE TO BE BAREHANDED OR BACKHANDED Roll a few balls directly to the player, and a few that force the player to move laterally, left and right, for which he or she must "get around" or "behind," and then move forward to field. Have a couple of slow rollers fielded with two hands--not barehanded--with a throw made after fielding it. If the player has trouble making the play on the slow roller using two hands, use of just the glove hand is fine. And I want to see how explosively the infielder moves laterally so include a couple of hard breaks to the left and right; no ball needs to be fielded doing this.
When taking the video, mix up the ground balls, with the lateral breaks, and slow rollers. This will give me a more realistic look at the player's ability.
Once I evaluate the video, you will receive an email from me with my findings. One of the methods I used to develop my professional infielders was to give them a written "Points of Emphasis" document that detailed their strengths and limitations with suggestions for making whatever adjustments or corrections were needed. They then had something to refer to as they advanced levels. You will receive a similar document from me detailing my evaluation of your youngster's ability.
I will notify you when it has been received. My evaluation will be returned to you within approximately two weeks.
With both a VIDEO EVALUATION, and my document "HOW TO FIELD A GROUND BALL," you will have the best of both worlds, and better understand how I taught my professional infielders.
We may need to have a phone conversation.
