Every parent wants to see their son be successful on the field and in the batter's box. Not every parent has a local hitting instructor that they can believe in or in many cases afford. Hitting DVD's can also
be very expensive and provide no mechanism for asking questions or getting help. QCBaseball has been dedicated to helping coaches, parents and players since 2000 and for the first time is providing online hitting lessons designed
to help players improve their hitting. Unlike many select coaches or hitting instructors that are interested in taking the most talented players to the next level, QCBaseball wants to help the player who loves the game, but has
struggled at the plate, become a confident and productive hitter so they can truely enjoy the game they love.

From standing in the on deck circle to your first few steps out of the box and everything in between.
Your son will...
be challenged to develop a new swing from the ground up that will provide him with the mechanics that fit his strengths as a hitter.
understand the importance of practice and goal setting in developing a sound swing
gain a feel for his swing so he can self correct
develop a plan for stepping into the batter's box against any pitcher
know that with excellent pitch tracking he will have a much better chance of success
improve on his mental toughness and ability to approach each at bat and each pitch with the proper mindset
The lessons are designed to be performed at home, so the main concern is safety. You'll need an area where your son can safely swing a bat without breaking anything or hitting anyone. Beyond that many of the drills require a bat, batting tee, whiffle balls, and some of the small golf whiffle balls. The batting tee and whiffle balls will cost around $30 at your local sporting goods store.
They may not be and in fact there are some great instructional books, DVD's, and other materials available from all kind of great baseball coaches and players. Just like I wouldn't tell you to pick one and treat it like it's the only book or instructional manual you would ever need, I also wouldn't say that because Ted Williams has a great book on hitting that my lessons are not of value. We each have unique experiences which have got us to the point we're at. I played baseball through the college level, leading my team my senior season with a .397 batting average. I've also been switched around to different hitting styles by different coaches in previous years and because I was always taught to be "coachable" I did what I was told and tried hard at it, even after it should have been clear it wasn't working. In short I was taught hitting theories and mechanics that were supposed to mold me into hitter my coach thought I should be whether it fit my particular skill set or not. Now that only happened a couple of times, but instead of taking what I had and refining it and making it better, I ended learning and re-learning different hitting styles. I don't blame the coaches that were trying to help me because I know they were trying to do what was right. But I see the same things happening to kids year after year in youth leagues and sometimes with private batting instructors. I've been coaching baseball from Tee Ball through high school for more than 15 years and during that time I've discovered that youth hitters need to be treated as individuals and given instruction that allows them to experiment and discover what not only feels comfortable but gives them confidence.
These lessons have plenty of suggestions and opinions about what I think are critical elements to becoming a successful hitter, but in the end I want the player to understand what he's doing and why. I want him to be able to "feel" his swing so he
knows when something isn't quite right. He won't have that "feel" unless he understands his swing.
If you've looked around on the internet you'll see all kinds of claims about hitting and how their method is the one used by all major league players so shouldn't your son be learning to hit
that way too? The fact is that major league hitters use a combination of hitting techniques that feel right for that particular player. Albert Pulsios doesn't look exactly like Derek Jeter when he swings the bat. Do they have
many things in common? Yes, but you can't and shouldn't take a young player and try to mold him into a particular style of a major league player.

less things I had to think about, the less things I could screw up."
