Charleston Hitting Lessons:
Who Needs Baseball Instructions

>>Do you needCharleston hitting lessons? That question typically comes up at some time during a players baseball season for baseball hitters.

The answer is usually yes.

Why do you need hitting lessons? Because the amateur baseball volunteer coach does not have the proper baseball hitting mindset to coach baseball hitters for success.

More often than not the volunteer youth baseball coaches will do much more harm than good for players batting skills. Many well meaning, well intentioned, but ignorant baseball coaches really hamper hitting swing development.

Over coaching, wrong coaching, and a daily dose of negative scolding verbal episodes takes the batting life right out of youth players. Often young hitters are verbally scolded right out of baseball by youth baseball coaches.

Baseball Parents:
More Scolding & Frustration

Pro Baseball Hitting Mindset Hundreds of times I have heard Dads and some Moms tell me, “I have brought him to you at Charleston Hitting Lessons because he will not listen to me any more.” Frustrated parents try to coach their kids only to be disappointed when both parties become irritated about the situation.

Dads get on their kids thinking they are trying to help but the well intentioned advice to the kid sounds like, ‘I can never measure up to your standards Dad.

Nothing I do is good enough.” Pretty soon the kid says, “Why do I want to go to practice and the games and have my coach hammer on my mistakes and then get the tongue lashing again on the way home by Dad and Mom after I struck out.

I think I will not sign up this year and find something else to do with my time.” Presto, another baseball player out of the game largely because the adults made the game so miserable to stay in it.

Tap into Over 25 Years of Pro Baseball Experience

Summer Baseball Camp Throwing Tips and Throwing Drills At Charleston hitting lessons we know what kind of hitting mindset it takes to be good hitter. I come from a professional baseball background. I know how pro hitters approach hitting.

Amateur baseball coaches will mess you up keeping you from reaching your talent ceiling. Unless you are a complete natural hitter then you probably need professional hitting instruction.

You will not get this type of baseball instruction in the youth leagues or travel ball. Coaches and parents are so enamored in the win-at-all-costs approach that they never are able to see baseball player development as the main objective.

Charleston Hitting Instruction:
Top 3 Hitting Tips

There are several baseball basics to teach baseball correctly that you will not get from youth sports coaches.

First: you need to know where to contact the pitches in various areas of the strike zone. If you do not know this you are doomed to batting frustrations.

Second: You need to know how to think on various counts. If you do not take advantage of the count when it is in your favor you will be in trouble.

Third: You need to know what types of different pitches to look for and what different pitches let go by. This alone in another of the absolutes of hitting success you have to know.

Do You Need Hitting Lessons Instruction?

So, ask yourself. Do you need batting lessons from a professional baseball instructor? Where else are you going to find out how pro ball players think, hit and approach hitting?

Not in the amateur baseball game. Many youth baseball coaches ruin hitters and prematurely end players careers because of the wrong approach to the game of baseball.

Can you afford to not reach your full potential because of poor of lack of educated baseball coaching?

Charleston Batting Lessons for Baseball Hitters

>>Charleston Hitting Lessons run one hour. The rates are $45 per hour. If you pre-pay for four or more lessons the rate is $40 an hour.

The hour can be split between throwing, pitching and fielding for a half hour and hitting for a half hour. This gives you a well rounded baseball skills instruction session that will polish up your skills and techniques.

We are open to all ages but would like to start when the players reach 10 years old and up. At age 10 the motor skills are developing enough where the kids can follow the throwing drills, hitting lessons and drills, pitching drills and fielding drills and actually put them to use as part of their game skills.

We have a partner rate of $50 an hour for two players at the same session. That is $25 each for the hour.

Testimonials

“I have known Dave for many years, he was raised in a baseball family, has played, coached & taught the game his entire life.

Players would not only be taught how to execute the skills of the game through drills, but gain knowledge of the proper & right way the game should be played.

This strength of Dave’s is what sets him apart from many other coaches & teachers lacking his knowledge & experience. –-Brad Mills – Houston Astros Field Manager.

How to coach and play baseball “If you looking for a baseball professional to make a difference, then look no further than Dave Holt. If you’re looking for a coach that possesses never ending passion, unwavering dedication, and an all out commitment then your search will end when your hire Dave Holt.

I have known Dave Holt for over thirty years. He is a man of integrity, extremely committed, and he understands his craft like very few coaches do. His knowledge of fundamentals, fundraising, coupled with his ability to engage alumni, and handle the public relations of a program make him a powerful force who will create long term success to whoever makes the decision to hire him.

If you are looking to hire a PRO then hire Dave Holt , Professional Reliable and highly Organized..” November 30, 2009 Ray O'Canto, PRESIDENT, NTD MEDIA (business partner)

Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert

“Dave Holt was hired to educate two of my sons on the fundamentals of baseball - hitting, catching, throwing, and pitching. He had a mature professional approach in dealing with young adults, one that I find similar to that of a college full professor who has mastered the skills and techniques necessary to teach successfully.

I have also watched Dave teach and guide college level student athletes during his summer seasons with the Salinas Packers. He did an outstanding professional job of running both the team and the business. It was a regrettable that the Salinas area and temperature could not accommodate summer baseball. I believe Dave to be a great educator and coach.” June 10, 2010.Eugene J. Guglielmo, Ph,D. (client)Eugene J. hired you as a Personal Trainer in 1999 and hired you more than once..
