Jake, the hitting clinic was really awesome!  My enhanced ability to analyze and impact the kids’ hitting success is extremely rewarding to both athlete and coach.  Thanks again for breaking things down and making it possible to coach at any level.

Hitting a baseball around the age of 6 seemed so easy.  Like many of our kids, they seemed to find a way to have the bat meet the ball at an early age.  We all were excited to see the progression from T-Ball to Little league and beyond, but along the way our kids developed bad habits and inconsistent results.  Each year we would hear coaches bark out at the kids “Do not step in the bucket” or “Squish the bug” and so many more.  Every once and while a kid would get solid contact and the coach would then pat the kid on the back and say ”See what I told you.”  However, as a parent I realized that these suggestions never had any significant impact on the batting success, they were just words with little guidance.

Well, as a coach/parent I wanted to know the science behind the art of hitting a baseball.  Too often I see the lack of hitting success taking the enjoyment out of the sport that I love, Baseball .  I wanted, I needed to make a difference, so I reached out to Jake Epstein and signed up for the Epstein Hitting clinic.  This two day class is awesome!  The knowledge that I came away with not only improved my own coaching abilities, but gave me skills to improve the quality of baseball for my area. The gifted athlete all the way down can improve.  My new found skills allows me to teach the kids drills that creates muscle memory and batting knowledge.  This baseball awareness gives them the know how to hit the ball with more power and better consistency, which in turn creates better hitters and love for the game that we all love, Baseball.

The online hitting academy is awesome!!! I wish you were doing this 4 years ago; not only is it great in the off-season it is great for in-season to make sure everything is staying where it should be. The lessons are well explained on how to perform the drills correctly. While I believe parents are very important to improving a baseball player, this program shows us how to help our kids reach their potential.

Devlin has seen Jake in Colorado the last 3 summers and the experiences have been very informative and helpful, Jake has been great with Devlin as an early teen and now a young man. He connects very well with the kids and makes great use of the time you are with him.  Oh yea… Devlin (5’6” and 150 pounds) hit his first (Varsity) home run this weekend.

I TRULY BELIEVE THAT JAKE CARES ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER NOT JUST THE PAYCHECK!!!

Jake, thank you for everything you have done for Devlin!
