Bear Crawl is a speed, strength, stability, mobility, and coordination drill that improves your athleticism. Bear crawl is a fundamental movement challenge where players must coordinate their hands and feet to move as quickly as possible from point A to point B. It's a fantastic exercise to use in your warmup, an awesome conditioning activity to increase your muscular endurance, and fun racing activity that you can use during practices, especially with youth teams, to blow off some steam. You can race against yourself for time, against an opponent, or in teams as a relay race.
Be sure to practice bear crawl moving in all directions as shown in this video as each variation provides a unique movement challenge. The more ways that a player can learn to move athletically the greater their physical literacy skills become which allows them to pick up the baseball specific skills of throwing, hitting, fielding, and catching much faster and perform them to a much higher degree than the competition.
Be sure to stick around until the end of the video because I am going to be utilize the weight sled in a speed challenge where if I fail I'm going to get 8 soccer balls kicked as hard as they can at my body.
