Looking for a base stealing coach

[default]

I'm looking for a coach in the NEO region who can teach the art of base stealing. DD is a very fast 15U player (12.6 time home to home) who needs help on those first strides off the bag. Needs to concentrate on just that 20 yard run - not sure she would commit to a complete running program that some facilities offer. A track coach experienced with sprinters off of a block would work too. Not sure about a baseball coach though.
Thanks!

Its really an Easy thing... EXPLODE of the bag and Run like your life depends on it...DONT LOOK Back and hit the dirt. I see lots of FAST Kids who lack that aggression to be all they can on the basepaths. Its a mindset.

didn't Lou Pinella steal one during a game... I know Ricky Henderson did...

In all seriousness, I'd be interested in this very skill being taught beyond what I know.

I would suggest a good sports trainer. One of the best around is Kris Lewandosky at SPI. Web: www.trainatSPi.com or e-mail him at kris@trainatSPi.com

Sweet Lou! Seems to me that he's "stolen" a couple...;&

Her explosiveness is important, but more important is her timing. Most girls leave the base too late, costing them valuable time. Most umpires won't call a runner out unless she left clearly early. I would practice timing, and then also I agree that finding help with drills and mechanics for explosiveness would be good.

How far are you from Canton? My dd goes to a fantastic trainer who works on exactly what you looking for. He's very inexpensive also. He only charges $45 a month and you can go two or three times a week. That's a bargain in any market.

Canton is an hour away but if he works on the weekend, that would be ok.
Thanks
