New Baseball Think Tank

I'm honored to be asked to be a part of a new baseball "Think Tank" in the Chicagoland area. Made up of a small group of some of the most respected baseball teachers and Academy owners in Chicago, this group of like-minded instructors was put together by Chris Andel, general manager of Playball USA in DesPlaines. Chris' idea was to get some of the top progressive instructors in Chicago to share teaching ideas with one another as we all strive to get better at teaching the game. A great idea, put by Chris best when he said, "When you stop striving to learn, the game has passed you by." Our group assembled all have the same aspirations of wanting to better ourselves everyday. I was asked to be one of the hitting and infield experts on the panel. I'm very humbled to be asked, and to be a part of it.

At our first meeting, I was impressed by the knowledge and passion off all the people in the room. I'm excited to be able to share some of what I do on a daily basis, and learn new ideas from others. I commend Chris for his idea, as it has the potential turn into something big (if he wants to) but also improve the level of baseball in our city. I hope to have some exciting news of our meetings in the future.
