BE A WALL - Improve Your Blocking

Description

Be a Wall: Mastering the Art of Blocking is a complete training system designed to turn catchers into difference-makers behind the plate. Blocking is one of the toughest and most defining skills of the position—and this program gives players the tools to master it with confidence. Built around four core components—stances & set ups, blocking fundamentals, hip mobility & strength, and game-tested drills—this course shows catchers exactly how to get big like a wall, soft like a pillow, and stop everything in the dirt.

Inside, you’ll learn the “Big 4” of blocking, how to perfect both traditional and one-knee setups, and how to read and react to pitches in the dirt. You’ll train with proven drills like Sit & Get Hit, No Hands Blocking, Rolling Blocks, and Short Toss Progressions that improve technique, toughness, and recovery. To ensure long-term success, the program also includes a complete series of hip mobility, flexibility, and strength exercises—because the best blocking catchers don’t just react well, they move better.

Whether you’re a coach looking to develop tougher, more reliable catchers, or a player determined to separate yourself as a defensive leader, this program delivers everything you need to “be a wall” behind the plate.
