Former University of Arizona coach Jerry Kindall gives children a number of valuable lessons about playing baseball in Teaching Kids Baseball, part of the ESPN Instructional series. Kindall begins by noting that baseball teaching should focus not just on the physical skills; it must also stress the self-esteem and confidence that come with encouragement from the teacher. Teamwork is also emphasized, and each drill illustrating a particular skill, such as fielding, hitting, running, and sliding, shows how players must interact with others on their team to be successful. The lessons themselves are quite detailed, with Kindall demonstrating some fine points, such as which leg a fielder should lead with when chasing after a ground ball. At the end of the video, after Kindall has demonstrated the drills that young players can repeat to hone their skills, sports psychologists appear and give pointers on how adults can encourage young ballplayers in a healthy manner. This video could disappoint those who are looking for flashy production values, but those who study it closely to improve their fundamental baseball skills will find it valuable. --Robert J. McNamara
