By ordering your videos today, you’ll get Lifetime Access to each and every minute of the presentations that you can watch from your very own couch over and over without leaving the house.

 

You’re not just buying an hour of time with the best and brightest minds – you’re buying their years of experience. The videos total up to hours, but really you’re getting HUNDREDS of YEARS of EXPERIENCE, distilled down to just the best. 

 

Who Are This Year’s Presenters I Will Be Learning From?  Speakers Include:

 

Paul Nyman, “The Godfather Of Modern Day Pitching Mechanics”

Paul has something that everyone of you guys will be interested in, trust me! He’s actually taking

video and laying it out in a way that’s simple and easy to understand, let’s just say it blew my

mind when he gave me a look! It’s freaking incredible and the best part, it’s a “HOW TO”!

Most of what you read and see from today’s pitching guru’s is rooted, if not taken, directly from

the information Paul was preaching almost 20 years ago! His view on how the human body

delivers the baseball at maximum capabilities is still considered future-age stuff 20 years later!

 

Scott Brown, Vanderbilt University, Pitching Coach 2014, 2019 World Series Champs

Scott is one my good friends and I spend a lot of time taking advantage of being able to speak with Scott and see first-hand how what he does with the Vandy pitching staff. What I like about

Scott’s coaching style is he promotes, demands is a better word, an individual style and program

for each of his pitchers. He’s going to open up the floor and allow you to ask “ANY” question

that you’d like about what they do, when they do it and best of all, “HOW TO!”

By the way, Scott will be the lead speaker for the “Bonus – Core Velocity Belt Training

Session”. Scott’s going to walk you through each and every exercise and drill he uses to develop

velocity while TRANSFERRING it to the strike zone, uniterrupted. You’re going to take home

some great ideas and usable, practical info that you can instantly implement them with your

pitching staffs!

Hitting

 

Bobby Tewksbary 

First things first, this isn’t about who I am and what I did on a baseball field. This is about information. I’m a guy who is passionate about the game, passionate about coaching and slightly obsessed with the swing. I have spent thousands upon thousands of hours studying video and swinging a bat trying to learn more about the swing. 

I did play D1 college baseball and a little bit of independent ball so I do have some experience with the game at reasonably high levels. But this has everything to do with what I’ve learned since my career ended and very little to do with what I did between the lines. 

 

Hunter Bledsoe:  Bledsoe Brothers

Hunter is the all-time leading hitter at Vanderbilt University and left with a .459 SEC record batting average!

He’s going to break down what he teaches to his MLB clients and give you an inside look at what we’ve learned about slow motion training to increase bat speed! 

Plus, he’s going to share with you why…”The most important aspect of the swing happens before the swing!” If you’re a hitting guy, you’re going to love this! 

 

That’s not all – Here’s who else will be presenting. 

David Ray – Baseball Movement Essentials

Allen Sills – Director of Neurology Vanderbilt Medical, NFL Chief Medical Officer
