Why choose a Total Baseball Clinic ?
"Repitition, Confidence, Pride"
Just as with our private lessons, a Total Baseball group session is completely different from what you've been used to. We purposfully limit our group instruction to 4 players so that each player receives maximum attention from our coaching staff. Our manageable drills are designed to both teach and perfect specific skills, in a fun environment that more closely resembles a game situation.
Rather than string together a series of drills and skills and try and pack them all into a single session, our philosophy is to hone in on a single skill (and the building blocks that allow the players to perform that skill), and use creative repition to enable our students to master and retain the skill. Simply put, every group session is designed to work from the foundational elements that are the backbone of the skill being focused on for the week, and on up into the full skill, which is worked to perfection.
Our teaching methods, which make use of extensive end-point visualization (EPV) and backwards shaping techniques, are truly remarkable in their ability to achieve long lasting results much quicker than simple repitition alone. Our instructors use specific, positive reinforcement to build players confidence levels and increase their solid foundations as they learn the new skills.
Confident players who have mastered a skill will invariabley have a sense of pride in their accomplishment. This develops players that are more willing to put their new skillset into live action, and aggressively take on new challenges.
