Answer

  1. Commit to the slide: Initiate the slide at least 10 feet before the base, sinking your center of gravity.

  2. Tuck the leg (feet-first slide): Drive one leg straight towards the base while bending the trailing leg underneath the lead thigh.

  3. Keep arms clear: Hold your arms up and away from the ground and base to avoid contact injuries to your fingers and wrist.
