Incredible $50 Opportunity: Learn Base Stealing from the Expert: Coach Mike Roberts

I've got to admit, first time ever seeing a "Base Stealing" camp.
I guess you could say for $50, that's a steal!

This sounds great were there!

“Before I had the privilege of playing for Coach Roberts, I felt that stealing bases was simply about speed and reaction time, a mistake that many runners make. Coach Roberts taught us that base stealers use not only their athletic gifts, but also their minds and systematic calculations to steal bases.

“As a runner converted into a true base stealer, I went from relying solely on athleticism to knowing the situation, understanding the mind-set of a pitcher, calculating my leads, improving my jumps and SYSTEMATICALLY stealing bases.

“His system teaches runners to simply know when you do or do not have the base stolen, as opposed to just outrunning the baseball. That type of knowledge is a powerful offensive tool.”

In speaking with Coach Roberts he emphasized the fact that EVERY player can benefit from learning his system. He told me at Cotuit he teaches ALL his players the same techniques - even the pitchers - because he does not want them thrown out on the backside of a double steal. It works - his team led the Cape Cod League stealing 109 bases in 38 games against the best college competition in the country!

“I have to keep improving my base stealing. It evolves more each year. As you move up the game changes. This forces a player to continue to work on the details that can make the difference.

“I am faster at thirty one than I was at twenty three. I regularly work on my speed. Most players do not like to work on their running. However, everyone is capable of improving their quickness and speed.”

“For me, the best part of stealing bases is I can impact a game immediately.”

I heard Coach Roberts speak last year in San Diego at the National Baseball Coaches Convention.

It is worth every penny. I bought his book and use some of his techniques.

Its great.

I think it would be great if my son could attend this, but I am not sure if it is okay with the NCAA for a college player to attend a camp like this? Does anyone know whether or not this is allowed by the NCAA?

wow...havent seen Uncle Ethan's posting in awhile..or I've missed them...welcome back.

Just for Natural, one last bump.

Lurking on a regular basis - only post when I think it is meaningful.

I was at D-BAT Frisco today until just before the clinic started, so I missed Coach Roberts. Any feedback on what your son's thought of Coach Roberts and the information given?

anyway Uncle Ethan...you've always brought good stuff to the table...
