“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.”
