Football?


Am I sensing a career as a tailback?

I let him play and didn't do a whole lot of work with it.Just didn't want to take any chances with his arm.He is still around the plate.He is doing some pitching now as a 9 year old on a 10 year old all star team.I figure he gets enough throwing in games and warm up.His form and technique is good(not great)and I do remind him to hit his marks but not much beyond that.

Not really his thing,tried it,likes it but would rather play fall leaguebaseball than football.

How about a glove like Ozzie Smith and the power of Adam Dunn, with more consistancy? Is that more his style?[8D]

Yep,power,but content with base hitsand short/centerfield speed(better outfield glove than infield).Plays short in regular league.He played short,pitch,catch and centerfield all in 1 game.


But back on topic,can't wait untill he can shoot a deer with it.

That stance is too wide. Shoulder width is correct. Other than that, not bad.

Look at olympic archers,they are about the same width as he is.I am a shoulder width proponent as well but I don't think wider is wrong,but imo,narrower is.

I had him working on hips and grip so I did not ask him to narrow up.I try not to add too many things at once,especially with a young person.Everything else he was doing on his own.Once he has the other things going without thinking about it,I will have him try narrower to see how it works.


Granted,they are 2 different disciplines between recurve and compound but like I have already said,not ready to call it wrong just yet.
