    Kristi Dillon Andresky asked:

    My son is 7 and loves baseball. That is the sport he wants to focus on. He doesn't really try hard. What can I do to help his skills?

    Sidd’s answer:

    Age 7 is very very very young to have the attention to play baseball.

    At age 7 it is all about fun. Like hitting the ball off a tee and running around the bases. Or a one on one game of catch with a grown up.

    Bilal Ahmed asked:

    What is the key to creating power in your swing?

    Sidd’s answer:

    The key to hitting is seeing the ball. The basics of hitting are see the ball, hit the ball. A hitter should try to watch the ball hit the bat.

    I'm not a fast runner since I've had my knee surgery what can i do to get faster

    Sidd’s answer:

    Hi Bre,

    First off make sure you follow your doctors and physical therapists advice because you don't want to re-injure or aggrevate your knee.

    For speed in Baseball/ Softball, I can think of a couple of things: (1) stay low until you are at full... Continue Reading »

    Henry Munevar asked:

    IN IT OK WITH YOU IF MIKE VICK COMES BACK INTO THE NFL? DO WE GO AND CHEER FOR A PERSON THAT IS A CONVICTED FELON AND HAS SERVED JAIL TIME

    Sidd’s answer:

    Hi Gary,

    Are you claiming Steinbrenner is not self employed? Was Steinbrenner suspended twice by MLB, one of which was for a felony conviction? Do Lawyers get disbarred for felony convictions?

    It seems to me that if we treat Michael Vick like... Continue Reading »

      Gary Jefferson commented July 26, 2009

      No Sidd, you assumed I meant self employed as the owner of a team or some sports related venture. I never limited the conversation to that issue ...you did via your assumption. Again, you are debating an issue which I already agreed with you on. Again, there is more than one issue here. I disagree with the issue of "further punishment for the crimes he committed, ie. life ban for "killings dogs". Lying is a secondary issue that "you bought up playing devils advocate and that's when I said we were on the same page : regarding collateral issues you bought up playing "devils advocate."

      My position is very clear as long as you apply my answers to the relevant issues. The key Sidd, I answered the original question:

      IN IT OK WITH YOU IF MIKE VICK COMES BACK INTO THE NFL? DO WE GO AND CHEER FOR A PERSON THAT IS A CONVICTED FELON AND HAS SERVED JAIL TIME

      Simple answer for me "when you limit the topic to killing dogs" but again you "open the door" as they say in court.

    Sidd’s answer:

    Thanks Gary for the respectful debate. I can't take any position on Vick, Stewart, Steinbrenner or Rose, because I don't know enough facts, so I am writing this purely as a Devil's Advocate.

    Where I disagree with you, is you said that if a Profes... Continue Reading »

    • Gary Jefferson
      Gary Jefferson commented July 25, 2009

      Unfortunately, I didn't say what if he was a "professional team owner". My statement was: "Suppose Vick was an independent owner (self employed) and worth the same money--WOULDN'T HEAR A WORD! Sorry if you "assumed" that I meant the owner of a professional team.

      Nonetheless, as previously stated, I pretty much agree with everything you state with the exceptions I made. That is "there is no parity" and this is the bigger issue which makes Vick and Stewart "insignificant" for discussion purposes. Other than that, we are pretty much in agreement. Just to be clear I didn't agree with everything Kevin stated..I used his material to take it to another stage...the discussion we are having right now...this is not about Vick or Stewart...it's about all of the Vicks and Stewarts of the world. Money, gender, race, the total phenomenon that determines the fate of the average man on a daily basis. Someone like me never gets to sit on a criminal jury once I state this "fact" in open court.
