The art of hitting a round ball with a rounded stick was identified by USA Today as the hardest feat in all of sports...what other sport identifies prime talent as those who only fail 7 out of 10 times (a .300 BA) and the greats of the game by failing only 6.50% of the time (a .350 BA)!

The ugly reality is that by age 13...70% of players have left the game and the #1 reason given in the one major study I have seen  is that its not fun...Possible translation = a lack of success.

We humans thrive on success and the approval of our peers. We enjoy being good at things and getting slapped on the back for a job well done! Good golfers don't play tennis on the weekends...bad cooks probably don't enjoy cooking in their spare time.

Some of The Greatest Pro Athletes Never Get Out of Low A Ball!
Some of The Best Amateurs Never Even Thrive In High School or College!
The best players don't always become tomorrow’s superstars. Take talent and add commitment and you will have many of the MLB Players you see on TV... Take tremendous gifts and add that same competitive work ethic and you have the few superstars that exist in any generation!

Kids Don't Swing Enough... so most players don't ever maximize whatever gifts they have!
Team practice just does not give kids enough quality swings to go beyond their physical talents into the rarified air of the successful hitter so home training is a must and needs to be made fun! This encourages today’s players to stay in the game...long enough to thrive!
So How Do You Become Your Best?
It's a 2 Part Answer:

1. Learn how to most efficiently swing your bat...this takes a coach, a dad with some knowledge and maybe one good video or book on the subject (remember, even the best in the game have a hitting coach in the dugout so there’s always little tweaks until the day you play your last game)
2. Do it over and over and over...the right way.

1. You Must Hit Off A Batting Tee... a lot! This will help you perfect your swing mechanics without having to track a moving baseball. All it takes is a good batting tee and a catch net to keep the balls out of the neighbor’s yard (and yes, you can pitch into it as well)! Baseball Tips offers over 14 different tees and 6 catch nets... good stuff starting from under $100. total! They say that Derek Jeter wore his tee station out during the long Michigan winter months.
2. You Must Hit Soft Toss... a lot! Soft Toss, also known as flip drills is simply a drill where a coach sits on a bucket at a 45 degree angle on the open side of the hitter and tosses a looping flip about every 6 seconds. You can use the same catch net from your Tee Station, saving you some extra cash. This valuable drill builds on your tee station and adds timing and the focus you must have to consistently hit hard shots. Balls are tossed toward the front knee, the mid body and then the back knee to teach hitting to all fields.

Front Toss & Live BP (batting practice)...all the fun right in your backyard. Can you imagine being able to hit thousands of balls right in your own backyard with a pitching machine and perhaps a pitchers protective L Screen & a batting cage. Prices of both start at under just $500!  For under $1000 you can step up to all that a younger player could want. Going up to $1500 will make any High School player ecstatic. And for those who want to really cadillac, we can show you the exact pitching machines and batting cages you see in Big League Spring Training and in High Schools and Colleges too!
