Coach Garland calls upon his expertise and experience as a coach to provide a drill and sequence recipe for maximizing performance of slappers through speed and power development. Generic speed and quickness training is widespread but Coach Garland outlines material specific to the softball slapper rather than generically developed for sprinters.
Slappers success is typically a product not only of hitting skills but the race between the hitter and defensive player to get to first. Developing elite level speed is critical to getting on base safely.
Slappers are typically not naturally powerful but need sufficient core and functional power to master the more advanced slapping skills of hard slaps power slaps that can beat the infield.
Additionally quickness and speed on the base paths add an offensive threat.
