This is a really important topic to cover Coach. So many people think nothing of it & take it for granted that anyone can slide. How wrong they are. I’ve umpired & coached baseball for over 50 years & I can’t tell you how many players I’ve seen injured because of improper sliding technic. I’ve seen broken ankles, broken legs, ACL injuries, jammed toes, knee injuries, broken ankles, broken fingers, broken thumbs, numerous “ strawberries” , a broken nose. The most impotent feelings in the world is taking a player to the emergency room & calling their parents on the phone to tell them you’re at the hospital with their child. I remember a contending high school team one year that was decimated by bad slides. At the end of the season the coach told me that they didn’t teach sliding because they, themselves didn’t know how to properly slide either. It is a very important and I commend you Coach Justin for bringing it up. God Bless You.
@@jspicypretzels7095yo im trying to learn to slide going into my junior year caise i have never played baseball, our team is ass so i dont hvae that much competition
I'm sorry, Justin, but I disagree wholeheartedly with the portion of the video talking about sliding on your butt. The "4" form is fine, but show me a single player in the MLB who slides on their butt and not their side. Secondly, I've seen coaches teach the method you show here as well as instruct players to throw their hands up and this leads to players momentum pulling their bodies straight back leading to their heads bouncing off the ground. Hands out to the side and slide along the hip.

Such a great explanation, I never learned before high school
what ab head first slides and when and when not to do a head first slide and a regular slode
Head first slide would be a dive
Andrew Brooks WAIT REALLY
@@samask4457 yeah lol you just basically dive into the base
As a coach I learned so much thank you very much for all your great information.
This is what need thanks, good job on 200k to.
Thank you so much! Glad the video helps! 👊🏼
Nice video coach Justin
You should make a video on sliding head first, but great video
The thumbnail for this video made me laugh for 10 minutes, and yet I don’t know why.
Omg lol when telling me to make a four I’m in that position watching this😂😂
My son is a larger boy could that be why he isn’t succeeding with this? He can’t seem to bring himself down to the ground
These videos are great
Thank u
5:57 but what if it's a double play and you're the runner at first?
A good idea if you can't find a grassy hill is using a large cardboard box worked great for us
Yeah my coach did that too
5:15 Wouldn't that make it easier for the fielders to tag you, though?
Not a single slide in the video. Good suggestions thpugh
5:15
I go head first
Im still learing how to slide
I feel these videos are targeting toward young players and I’m literally a freshman in high school and have so much trouble sliding
you are a young player
Same man
How's your junior year going?
@@JoshF136 don’t worry I figured out sliding soon after I watched this. Just needed to commit more

First
Thanks for tuning in! I hope you enjoy the video!
No problem man, I never did know how to slide do this is helpful.
That's not how I was taught or used to do it in 11u before we could headfirst in 12
