  1. Create an environment in the weight room and the basepaths that contribute to success on the field.
  2. How quickly can you get down the line and make turns around the bases.
  3. Impact on your team and the opponent - "Nebraska Drill".
  4. Proper way to run to run on the baseball field offensively and defensively.
