I play 12U softball, and for years, I've never been able to slide. I've tried and tried and I gave up hope until I found this video. I have my mind set on practicing sliding, until I get it right. Thank you for video! ❤️

I'm in highschool softball right now and I broke my shin a few years ago sliding and since then I can never bring myself to do it again, so it's really sucked. This was on my fyp and it's like KZread was reading my mind

Oh that’s so cool, we do have the same last name! Also I’m so paranoid of sliding even though I have never had an experience of hurting my self !!

Thanks Megan for the sliding tip.i watched this vid because tommorow is my first day at soft ball practice

Someone the other day at my softball game broke her ankle sliding into home, figured I should probably make sure I know what I’m doing lol, thanks for the video!

Great vid. One of the better sliding videos.

Thank you, Peter! I'm glad it was helpful.

Also appreciated this video as I'm a head first slider and this softball league is feet first only. I'm a soccer player as well and I usually tackle the base, so watching this has helped me remember the basics and not slide tackling the base or someone.

Wow, what a great video. I've been playing baseball for almost 40 years and been coaching Little League for several. I've tried all sorts of sliding drills and watched countless videos, but still about half the boys (including my son) have a problem with tucking their bent leg under itself (which could easily result in injury). I am so glad I found this video, there's not a better instructional on KZread. After about two minutes on the first step, my boy (who until 10 minutes ago was scared to slide) is now driving me nuts trying to do pop up slides on a mat in the kitchen. Thank you very much!!!

I am watching this before I go to school. I have my first softball practice this year. We have to learn how to slide this year

I have a 10 year old that broke her left wrist last fall with poor sliding techniques. Good video. Getting on the slip and slide this weekend!

Can you do a video on head first sliding and when to go head first and the benefit of sliding head first

With a feet first slide, you can also do a pop up slide if you need to continue to the next base quickly.

I love it!😍

Thanks bc my coach didn't even teach us how to and we have a game today

Can you do a video about diving back to base ? Your videos are so helpful to my 10u travel player. She is learning how to do this but could use some extra tips.

5:40 and 6:53 this is just a time stamp for me

Just moved to 10 u and I have never slid before thanks!

Coach Meg, Where can I get a mat and slide screen cover?
