The feet are the first thing that hit the ground and without balanced feet a player's mechanics can be affected.

When coaches evaluate and break down players during practices and showcases they look to see how balanced they are and if the balls of their feet are on the ground.

Spring is just around the corner and all the high school and college teams are getting ready to put on their cleats and play Americas favorite pastime, baseball, once again.

No matter what position you play injuries can occur while playing; in your shoulder, legs, ankles and feet. The questions are: How did it happen and when can I play?

Get in an athletic position! Get the balls of your feet on the ground! That is the cry infielders and outfielders should hear from their coaches when playing defense. In order to get into an athletic position you have to be able to move your feet quickly.
