| March 31, 2015 MGoBlue | I'll chime in with some kudos as well. The camp was very well run and we got a lot accomplished. My thoughts on the staff: Carlos was quiet, but offered a few subtle helpful hints. He worked with me on finishing my swing - getting all the way through the zone. Davey Reed? How can a 68 year old man hit a softball that far? I've never worked out a day in my life, but he's (almost) inspired me to start. He gave me some tips that I hope to implement if I can get my lazy butt moving. Alan is a great player and did a very good job of keeping things organized and moving along, even with the schedule changes necessitated by Friday afternoon rains. I bought a bat from him Sunday, but it must be defective. The one he hit went a lot farther than mine. Jason Kendrick can hit a softball farther than I can hit a golf ball. Not sure I could learn much from him as he plays a game that I barely recognize. But man! is he fun to watch hit. Finally, Bob O'Brien. Intentionally saved him for last. I was so impressed by his knowledge and his ability to impart that knowledge in a way that is easily and clearly understood. I could listen to him all day long and still come back for more. He knows the science of the game, and the mechanics forwards and backwards, but never, not even once, spoke in a way that would go over your head. Everything made sense. If I had to list one disappointment, it was that we ran out of time before he was able to show us the drills he had planned on walking us through on Sunday. I have no doubt those drills would have proven to be immensely helpful, and equally important to my brain that always, always wants to know "why", they would have been educational, logical and coherent. Maybe next time. In conclusion, I highly recommend this camp. One thing I can promise: If you don't get your money's worth - that's on you. Jamie |
