I just had the opportunity to take my daughter to visit Howard in Cinci. As always, we continue to learn from the best.

I can't wait for Howard and Crystl to visit us at The ELITE Sports Center. This will really be a great opportunity for players and coaches to be taught by the two best hitting instructors.

Look forward to welcoming all of the out of towners that have already signed up. :yahoo:

Still have room for a team?

Yes, still room for a team. I would try to sign-up soon so you can get all your girls in the same session (afternoon or morning). Please feel free to give me a call if you have any questions 304-482-2149. Don't forget that you get a team discount, as well as a early sign-up discount.

Bart, Crystl and I are looking forward to coming to Parkerburg.

Hopefully some of the lemmings will attend as there a few around Columbus and Newark that may come up and help with the clinic.

I am cutting back on clinics personally and will only be doing about 3 clinics....hard to keep up with the Big Girl!

One of my friends from Atlanta may be coming up with me to attend the clinic.

Try to get as many high school coaches to attend as they will get a chance to ask the best female hitter to ever play the game how she does.

Not sure how many travel teams are from that area however I would reach out to them to join us especially for the coaches clinic.

I have said this before that if Ted Williams was alive what would you pay to learn from him and Crystl is still alive and cost less.

Look forward to coming to your new facility also.

Thanks Howard

Same for me....Danny is coming up from Atlanta and will come up with me.

Bart comes down here about every 6 weeks with his daughter or a couple of her team mates.

He is bringing her high school coach after Christmas so he does not get sticker shock as to what we teach.

I hope you and Carol, Ted and Kyle can make it.

Thanks Howard

That is the first week of High School practice here in Ohio, but I am going to try and make it down if Howard and Crystl need some help. If Taylor is free that weekend maybe she can venture over from Fairmont to help out as well!!!

They are trying to make a difference in there area and you know what that means....we would appreciate you and your daughter coming up and sharing your thoughts.

Tim and his daughter have been able to come to clinics and she was teaching and he was helping and she is the one swinging the bat at a D1 school.

Thank God for Mom's!

Look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks Howard

There is one week left to receive the discount for early registration into the players' clinics. You can also receive an additional team discount if you have more than 6 players sign up for a clinic from the same team. Please feel free to call me with any questions..304 482-2149. If you need to pay via check instead of by credit card on-line, please give me a call and we can arrange for this payment method.

I look forward to seeing all those that have signed-up so far! :yahoo:

We just did a clinic in Kokomo Indiana and Evangel University in Springfield Missouri. The coaches clinics really went well as the parents and coaches finally got answers as to why we do what we do. We had them come up to test for balance, heads up verses down and grip.....nice to see grown men scratch their head and say how did this happen and why!

Some parents and coaches who had been there before shared their successes also.

We look forward to being there.

We had a great time at an incredible facility!

The coaches clinic was especially interesting as we had about 33 people there and they challenged what and how we do things and that is great.

After the second session with the girls on Saturday he came up and said balance is more important than I ever gave it credit and thanked us.

It made our weekend.

Nice parents, kids and again a great facility!

Thanks Bart and friends for having us.

Howard
