The focus at BatSpeed Academy is on the individual. There
is no "cookie cutter", you have to do it this
way approach.
Each
coach is committed to taking a player to his or her highest
level of potential. That process starts with a thorough evaluation.
What are the player’s natural abilities and talents and how
can these be enhanced? What are their goals? In the case
of younger boys and girls, what is the most effective and
age-appropriate way to reach these goals given the physical
and mental development of the player?
The evaluation then
drills down even further examining and assessing a comprehensive
list of key attributes including, but not limited to, strength
(overall, core, wrist, etc.), balance, conditioning, technique,
vision, and footwork.
Once the evaluation is complete and
instruction begins, complete logs are kept of every session.
Parents are encouraged to inquire about the progress of their
child and learn what they can do on the home front to further
build confidence and leadership skills.
Players are strongly
encouraged to stay with a single coach for continuity of
instruction to maximize progress. However, BatSpeed’s broadly
experienced staff offers the opportunity to sample other
teaching techniques and perspectives.
While BatSpeed Academy believes that its highly personalized
approach to instruction will yield the best results,
it communicates another message as well. Practice. Practice.
Practice. And then, practice some more. Ask any world-class
athlete.
