How To Slide In Baseball (PROPERLY!)

[@amybruce4694]

Hey coach, my first game ever is tomorrow. I know you made this video five years ago but thank you. I was surprised that my coach hasn't taught us sliding yet so I decided to watch this. Thank you. I will edit this when my game is over. Edit: My bad it took two months. We won the championship, slid, and I even hit a double in the championship game. Double and a single. I was the winning run and we won. Thanks coach.

Coaches, reward your young players on a hot day at practice with a slip n slide... and use it to teach proper slides

Finally !!!!!! Thank You Justin !!!! One of the most overlooked skills presented in a learnable mode. Couple of years ago our high softball was destroying the opposition with their bats when in a one week period at midseason they lost five starters because of poor slides! I never forgot that so I try to instill that in my young teams, however I'm getting old ( I'm 68) & revert more & more on videos to demonstrate but could never find a decent sliding video til now. Even if we lose I just don't ever want to carry an injured player off the field again & do I say Thank You Justin. And God Bless You

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

I'm so glad you enjoyed the video Fred! Sliding properly is something every young player needs to learn. Thank you for the support!

[@BeastAk12]

God bless both of you and have a good life

[@grecopena]

Well done coach. Most little league coaches were not taught how to slide until they were ages 12 or later, and as a result they don’t even know how to teach young players how to slide. Teach them young and they will love to run bases for a lifetime.

[@DonMoore1636]

Great video! This is something we continue to work on even at the high school level. Now that the kids are aware of this part of the game, everyone gets to the field early to see what the field conditions are. Nobody wants to short slide and get tagged out in front of your friends.

[@quinntoomey511]

Hey man this really helped me out, i broke my leg in april not knowing the proper way to slide and ive been using ur video to develop my form and now im getting ready for high school season, reallt appreciate it man.

The pros take off theirs, and sometimes uses an "oven mitt" which is a wristguard.

[@treydiz2103]

I've gotten a few wrist injuries doing that though so just keep that in mind and be careful

[@Allisonwhatacott]

this is awesome, thank you so much! the other day at my game i should’ve slid into home plate but i didn’t know how to slide so i completely ran into the catcher (luckily i was safe) but after that i figured i should learn how to slide lol! thank you this was great!

[@brianzitt2531]

This video (and your others) are great! I'm coaching my son's U10 team this year (first year) and recently found your content. It's been super helpful. I appreciate you putting these together to help coaches and players. Keep up the good work Coach!

Thank you so much! This is my son’s first year playing and he’s catching on really quick, I just needed some tips on teaching him how to slide- very clear techniques that you showed! Thank you!

[@allstarcardz1]

Tysm for the tips! I might show this to my son later.

[@jcboyer]

Thank you! My son who is 12 always struggled with sliding and this really helped him!

[@mjleo9031]

Great work Justin, always a pleasure to watch your videos; keep it up man. You are helping me help my kid improved his baseball skills.

[@tinapoulo2735]

Great video, Justin. I've volunteered to coach my son's baseball team this year. I've played baseball all my life but it's one thing to play and another thing to teach. And sliding definitely gets forgotten but is an essential baseball skill, whether you're running the bases or coming in on a sinking line drive in the outfield. I'll definitely be checking out your other videos as well.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

Thank you, Tina! I agree with you, every player needs to learn how to properly slide to avoid injury and stay safe on the field. I hope you'll find our other videos to be just as helpful!

[@thetruetexanamerican3522]

I watch your vids everyday. I made a playlist and everyday I hit shuffle and I end up practicing and doing whatever video loads up.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

That's awesome! Really cool technique! I appreciate the support!

[@RosaHernandez-pn6dr]

Love your videos! My daughter is 10, and it's her first year playing baseball or any sport for that matter. Talk about teaching her every single skill an athletic person needs. Just last week I was teaching her how to run, so sliding seems far off. She enjoys your videos, and I'm sure this will help her lots. She goes on her knees when she tries to slide because she's too nervous.

I really like how you started with a safety talk and then actually got into the Point, because a lot of videos are really long like as far as 10-20 minutes.

+BadB33f 3 Glad to hear it really helps you out!

[@ErichLRuehs]

Perhaps the most overlooked part of the game for 8, 9 and even ten-year-olds. As a coach, I'm sad to say I often "don't have the time" to work on this with my young players. Thanks, Justin! You're not only a good coach, but have such a positive energy for the game we all love. Sad to say, there are too many ego driven coaches out there. Just come to Mercer County, Kentucky, and you'll walk into "Ego Central."

[@ErichLRuehs]

Oh yeah ... Ty Cobb had something like 6 different and distinct slides depending on the situation. *(I know Cobb is reputed to a highly flawed human being) but he did know the game. That said, have you thought about doing a video, Justin, regarding all the different slides including "The Pete Rose head first method?"

While in the ,military we never were instructed on fundamentals, even it was fast-pitch soft ball. I was given a slide signal at 3rd base and went in both feet . I left the game with a broken ankle. This is a teaching event I'll share with my son. Thanks for the easy to follow directions, great job.

[@superior1018]

Thank you!!! I learned lots! I was never taught and I was expected to know how for my intermediate team. I kinda embarrassed myself. I’m getting better now, thanks!

[@Numantino312]

to this i add: stretch before game. if the body is awkward or tight, one is far more prone to injury. whereas, being properly loose, the slide comes smoothly. in martial arts -and skateboarding alike, one of first peripheral skills that needs to be learned is that of falling without injury. concentrate especially on glutes, hamstrings, lower back.

I used to have a clean slide but after quarantine and baseball was cancelled i’ve fully forgotten.

Loved video. Made sense. Love u to teach dangers of throwing yourself. Full forse hands first and how tsyay in control and avoid using your shoulders at all when sliding. As dislocated shoulders are painfull and can cause future physical pain and problems. Exoress how important it is to really evaluate the situation before sliding at all if feels in any way risky. Folliw your guts first reaction. Theres a, Time for sliding and time a for staying.

[@jpcostello3695]

Great video. Very simple and informative for teaching youngsters

[@thetruetexanamerican3522]

Do you have a video on base stealing? I'm not the best batter or outfielder nor do I have the strongest throwing arm. But right now I am the fastest baserunner and one of the fastest people on the team. Probably will be the fastest next year cause the person faster than me is leaving the team. I want to use my speed to my advantage as best as I can.

You should eventually get to teaching head first as well. And yeah. The first time I slid I sprained my ankle. I was stealing second on a late steal. I slid to late hit the bag. Sprained my ankle. It was a bad throw and I could have ran to third but the initial pain was too much too get back up immediately.

[@UltimateBaseballTraining]

That will probably be a video we cover in the future! I haven't done that video yet because I really don't like younger players to slide headfirst very much. It's too easy to get hurt - break fingers, wrists, etc.

[@Rick6954]

I want to second the comment about throwing your hands up. Instinctually when falling we throw our hands down to catch ourselves. I did this many times and ended up tearing cartilage in my wrist. The solution was to hold my batting gloves in my hand while I'm running on the bases. This prevents me from being able to catch myself with my hands.

[@jerryramirez5968]

Great video bro 👍

[@HashBaller]

Another great video! Any tips on how to pop up and stand up after the slide? I see a lot of pros do that.

[@bananakism9800]

HashBaller You have to push your bottom foot into the ground. Practice it a lot because it could hurt your ankle. As you push your foot into the ground, your core and upper body needs to push yourself up.
