Customer Reviews of The 59 Minute Baseball Practice
The Real Deal Only positives can be said on this video. It was beyond my expectations for a few reasons. It was well organized and gave an excellent description of each drill. The video also puts up a picture of a baseball diamond and the positioning of each player during the drill. The narration explains the benefit of each drill. Some things I did not understand in Little League, like the first and third situation are explained and they make sense. The hitting drills are the best I've seen. The proof of the pudding was last Saturday at our practice when my team did not want to leave the field after some of the drills and games from the video were tried. And to top it off, another coach from the next field came over to ask about some of the things his team saw us doing. This is excellent for 8-12 year olds and I suspect most of the drills can be used for older kids with a few adjusments. This is a great tool combining fun with skills.
Saw It, Then Bought It!
My local library had a copy of this video and I looked at it before I purchased it. After looking at it more then once, the positives far out weigh any negatives that I could detect. As far as substance, the video does not go into the technical aspects in depth about hitting or pitching. What it does give, is some very credible ideas to run baseball practices for youth league kids and/or Little Leaguers. Parent/coaches tend to always have the theory "to let the kids have fun" in baseball but once the season starts, this gets clouded and "fun" can become secondary to winning. I found "The 59 Minute Baseball Practice" put more fun into practices, games and the season in general. My favorite drills with the best response from my team were the rag ball toss drill, relay drill, continuation drill, lead drill, reaction drill, goalie drill, circle drill and of course the all time favorite, baseball/football. These, plus about 25 more drills helped make for a stimulating season and guess what? We were champs also. Maybe you can combine fun and winning. Anyway, this worked for our team but it doesn't necessarily mean it will work for yours, but it won't hurt.
Full of great ideas, but best for coaches of older LL kids
This is a great video, and I found plenty drills that I used with my teams. However, the drills are best suited for older Little Leaguers (11 and 12 years and up). The drills are not well suited for 8 and 9 year olds, who lack the physical and mental maturity (which is the level that I am coaching). However, I was able to adapt some of the drills to the younger players.
I'd love to see him make a video for PARENTS to help their kids outside of formal practice time, since time restraints make individual instruction difficult for the coaches during practice.
