I have been teaching fastpitch softball pitching lessons as a business since 1997.  I have coached travel teams longer than that.  I found out quickly that the girls were being short-changed on everything from coaches, to training facilities to equipment.  Have you ever had to hit off of softball pitching machines from 60' at your local batting cages?  That is the distance from home to 1st base. Do you think those same facilities would consider making the boys bat from their 90' distance to 1st base?...no way!  That started my "IT'S NOT BASEBALL" campaign and my journey to offer the girls something better.  My training facility has batting cages that pitch from 40'.  My store is primarily FASTPITCH SOFTBALL.  I buy stuff retail without the manufacturer knowing about it - just like you, then I put the items through the wringer...I use them and abuse them and if I like the product, and I see results, I make it available to my students and I sell it at my store.  Otherwise, I throw it in the trash and move on.

This is *MY* store...not some giant conglomerate.  As a small business owner, I never lose site of the fact that you are the customer and I am here *because* of you.  I do my level-best to research, test and supply superior products and provide intelligent, knowledgeable answers to your questions.  Many of the items, products and brands you will not likely find at your local retail sporting goods store because they do not have the knowledge or experience I have.  Part of my service to you is that knowledge and experience.

In both my personal and business life, I am about as easy-going a guy as you will ever meet.  One thing I have found is that in general, people are losing their manners and their respect for one another.  I should not have to say this, but should you choose (and it is a choice) to treat me or my employees in a rude manner, you can expect the same in return.  If we make an honest mistake, we will take responsibility and fix it.  If you make a mistake, we expect the same from you. If you call or email with courtesy, general friendliness and patience, we will bend over backwards for you.  However, if you decide to bring anger, hostility, and a general bad attitude, you can expect us to dish it right back to you.  If you can't be civil, then we do not want your business.

Are you tired of instructors who are not teaching? Are you fed up with "cookie-cutter" instructors who yell and scream with their arrogant attitudes? Have you worked with instructors at the public park who are not reliable? Have you seen a lack of improvement?

Since 1997, I have taught under the same name, in the same town. I have built a foundation on the concept of explaining what we are doing and why so that you can have quality practices at home between lessons. We all move differently and one of my best training attributes is that I can help the pitcher do what she does...better. I can do it without forcing her to pitch 'my way'. All we have to do is stay within the laws of physics and human kinesiology. This is a fundamental concept that many instructors either overlook or do not understand. For goodness sakes...we don't walk the same way - we certainly are not going to pitch same way. We must adhere to the rules and physics of bi-pedal walking, but we each walk differently and we have our own signature to the way we move - no one person's way is the "end-all be-all" right or wrong way of accomplishing it. Pitching is no different. There are shapes which are more efficient, yielding more power and accuracy. I will teach and show you how to use and be efficient with what you have while keeping you within the framework of good mechanics.

Set up a pitching session with me. Let me show you how I can make a difference in your pitching. I don't just tell you what to do. I explain 'WHY' certain things need to happen, how to recognize problems and some simple ways to fix complex problems through understanding of the physics and kinesiology of the motion.
