Coach JP Says
My Own Reality
The more I learn about this game, the more I realize that there is to learn and know!

Every Coach Has Strong & Weak Points!
The simple fact is that I am less than stellar in teaching some areas of the game; Areas where I need better and more efficient methods and drills to demonstrate and teach players. I also know that I can always become better at what I already do well.

How The Best Coaches Learn!
Figuring that every other coach probably has that same reality, I found myself looking for a complete and comprehensive set of video instruction for the thousands of youth level coaches who can use help in multiple areas.and understand the value of improving on both their stronger and weaker points.

There's Just Not That Much Complete Information Out There!
Most videos and books tend to specialize in particular topic areas. (Just look through our library and see that this is true). Most coaches who publish are logically better in some areas than other, so that's what they produce. (As I said, every one of us is stronger in some areas than others).

Ok, So Who Is This Dr. Bragg Stockton?
He is the exception to us all, I guess. If you read his bio, you will see that he is accomplished and has been successful at many levels of play, plus he has headed baseball camps for all ages for many years. Dr. Stockton has been such a student of teaching youth level baseball that he actually wrote his doctoral dissertation on this very subject in the mid 70's.and he has been teaching the game ever since!

It's Not For Everyone
Like everything else on our site, it fits some but not all. If you have interest in only pitching for example then I would suggest titles only pertaining to pitching and if you have interest in only pitching mechanics, then I would suggest that you refine your search even further. But if you have a desire to be a better head or assistant coach, or have your own reasons to become a better student of the game, then I would say you should be all over this series!

Leagues Could Get This Series For Free!
If I were king, every league in the country would have a video library where every coach could check out a video for a set period of time for just a buck or two. Where else can we league coaches get knowledge to keep improving and helping our kids? And all at your own pace, with a lot of slow motion and great demonstrators and players (the demonstrators range in age from 10 to college).

It's the Best Way To Learn!
Any good baseball instructional videos are worth having, this set certainly isn't the only one.but it is absolutely comprehensive and thoroughly covers all aspects that players need to learn.. and all from one very qualified coach and teacher.

The Bottom Line
By teaching coaches first, our players cannot help from learning quicker. For now and for a baseball lifetime, they will learn proper kinetics and mechanics That will translate to good, solid, confident players!
