Learn How To Slide Properly, To Be The Best Baseball Player
One of the things you'll need to learn to do if you want to learn how to be great in baseball training is to slide. There are two basic methods when it comes to sliding, the "leg under" or "bent leg slide," and the "hook slide," or "fade away."
First, let's talk about the baseball hook slide. Sit down with your legs out and turn to the right so that all of your weight is on your right hip. Bend your left leg so that the calf is at right angles to your thigh; the toe of your foot is your "hooking foot." Raise your arms over your head and lower your body until your back is touching the ground. Move your right foot to the right ever so slightly and raise it a few inches off the ground. That's a hook slide to the right.
To do a hook slide to the left, just change the instructions so that they're appropriate to the other side.
When you do the hook slide, remember that you need to spread your weight out as much as you can, and get your back on the ground. Keep your outside foot, the one not touching the base, off the ground. If you don't, your spikes will probably catch in the dirt and you can turn your ankle badly because your body will be sliding forward and you won't be able to stop it. You might even break your ankle if you make this mistake, so be careful. And don't "jump" the base. Instead, slide and keep your hands up as well.
If you don't keep your hands up, you might cut or scrape yourself, or end up with a sprained wrist. If you can't remember to keep your hands up, just pick up some dirt with each hand when you get on base and then make sure you don't let go.
Now, let's talk about the "leg under" slide. Sit down with your legs out in front of you and double your right leg under your left so that your right shin is facing what would be the base. Roll over on your right hip ever so slowly, raise your hands over your head, get your back down and reach for the base with your left toe. Switch these instructions to the opposite side if you want to switch your position.
To stop at the base, slide until your bent leg touches the base and then let your top foot go over the base, bringing it down on the other side. Then you should simply be able to spring to your feet and continue on.
To get an idea of that, sit in the bent leg position and have someone grab one of your hands and pull you up. You can see that you come naturally up to your feet without a problem.
If you're going to slide, slide
One hard and fast rule about sliding is that if you start, don't stop.
And if a play is being made and you are on second or third base, you should always slide. Overrunning the base means you risk being tagged out, slowing up so that you won't overrun the base will be a risk to you too, because you could be tagged out then, too. Overrunning home plate of course is not a problem, but don't go into the base standing up unless you know the catcher is not going to try to take you. If you have any doubts, slide.
If you can only slide on one side (right or left), you should use a hand to tag the base. If you're going to go into second base and beat a throw from left field, the second baseman leaves the left side of the base open. If you can only slide on your right side, do that and go to third base's side of second, grab the base with your right hand as you go by, and ensure that you're safe.
You can practice sliding in two places: in a jumping pit used for track and field events, or at the beach. In either case, don't jump at the base, a habit you can form easily in either of these two places.
Anyone know of any duets for Flute and Saxophone?
I know it's hard to find a real good piece for different keyed instrument even though many sax players double up on flute. I have seen a ton of really easy transcribed pieces for the two instruments and they're totally not what I'm looking for. I'm currently a sax performance major in college and have my junior recital next year so I thought it'd be really awesome to tag in a great friend of mine who also happens to be a flute performance major. Does anyone have any suggestions to a good arrangement of anything for the two instruments? (I'd prefer to leave it as a duet and not a trio with the piano)
Go to www.fluteworld.com and browse there. You must also know of fine classical saxophone music distributors that offer literature. Yes, you might find yourslef having to transcribe things - and adding a third instrument opens up worlds. Consider fl/cl/bsn or fl/ob/bsn, and get yourself his stuff scanned into Sibelius or Finale - then you can tweak. You can even start with things that were originally written for generic Renaissance or Baroque scoring - I have done the Praetorius dances with success - because good composition and part writing survives ALL transcription. Hey - even the Bach Two-Part inventions - and most of this stuff you can grab off free sites (public domain) and just enter it directly into Finale or Sibelius form MIDI. Heck - now we can consider string trios,too And if you are so bold as to go into quartets - dang, you can do a whole 'nuther world of great things!
You can also go in the other direction of involving a pianist - again, miles and miles of great literature. Let's face it - a whole chunk of what you play are transcriptions from the times when the saxophone was not invented (Fasch? Bach? Handel?? the list goes on) so you can in clear conscience do what you wish - just start with GREAT material.
