I have been treaching and coaching kids on how to play baseball for over 15 years now.
I have always had a passion for baseball and as a kid I was always saying I'm going to play professional baseball. People laughed at me and some told me I was a dreamer and some told me go for it. I did and played for 7 years, most of that in the Chicago White Sox farm system.
The players at the professional level are so good. I was good just not quite that good to make it into the Major Leagues. Some of my former teammates where Aaron Rowand, Joe Crede, Jim Abbott, Kipp Wells, Josh Paul and John Garland. Plus I got to play against many others that made it too. On of my coaches told me he would take me anytime because even though I wasn't the best player I made the team better. How did I do that? I always worked harder than others and I could see things in other players swings that they didn't. They would ask me to come and hit with them early and were constantly asking me questions. I never got drafted and I even took a year off after college. That is when I started teaching and improving my skills to the point that I eventuall got signed to my first pro contract. I kept on teaching as a way to suppliment my paultry income from minor league baseball. Then I met Perry Husband. He transformed my swing and my life in some ways. I teach a swing based on biomechanical principles that work.
Bottom line, my student get results and get them fast. Mastery takes a life time, but I believe if a child is given the right information at a young age they can go on an have a successful career in the game if they are willing to do the work. I started this blog because I see so many kids that have received reallt bad information from coaches with good intentions but lack the knowledge and skill to really be effective. I want to change that today and create better players at the local, state, and national level.
So here is a bit of info to start. Buy this series from Perry. He doesn't pay me a dime. I'm not in this for the money. HITTINGISAGUESS.COM
There are videos and even a small book that can be carried with you to trouble shoot problems.
Perry is a wealth of knowledge and truly a master hitting coach. I was blessed to meet him.
When the student is ready the teacher appears.
