Fielding: The Derek Randall Way [1003.201.030.001] |
By Derek Randall, PitchVision Academy Fielding Coach I used to love those long summer days fielding on the Trent Bridge outfield for Nottinghamshire. I was proud of my fielding skills and worked hard to improve them throughout my professional career. I believe anyone can become an excellent fielder and that good fielders often get selected for higher honours because of their skills. My fielding course is a step by step guide to making yourself the best fielder you can be.
Any player or coach at any level who is serious about success must treat both the skills and psychology of fielding seriously. This course is your answer now, and for the rest of your career. |
