Jeff Auterson Teaching Philosophy
While playing professional baseball for six years, my career was full of successes and the majority of time, struggles. The mental part of the game is where I learned and benefited the most.  Generally sports start with your heart and mind. First you have to believe that you can play this game … without that, there’s not going to be much progress. Enabling a kid to find his skills is the first step in instructing him. Remember, this is a game of failure. When a child goes onto a baseball field it’s the confident kid who looks to hit or catch that are successful. Whatever the baseball fundamental you’re attending to, you instruct them and teach them how to BELIEVE in their ability. Now with that, there’s a walking sponge ready to learn and compete to be whatever they want to achieve.  


Brian Edmondson Teaching Philosophy
After nearly 25 years of competing as a baseball player, I have had many successes and many failures. I have always believed that if you have the courage to put on the uniform and compete, you also have what it takes to win. Through practice, with attention to detail and a quality effort level, players can develop their skills to approach the game with confidence. This is where I have personally witnessed and experienced the highest levels of on-field success. To bring this out in a player and by working together to maximize realized potential is a privilege above and beyond being a coach.


Brack Hudson Teaching Philosophy
Baseball has been the center of my life for over 25 years, first as a player and now as a coach/instructor. Through those years I have had the experience of being taught by many great players and coaches. One thing that has always been at the forefront of my success is perfect practice makes perfect play. Repetition and dedication build a platform for the fundamentals of baseball. Once the foundation has been put in place then the player can begin to utilize these fundamental skills. My goal as an instructor is to embed these skills into each player’s lifestyle and build their character not only on the field but off the field as well. Each moment with a player/student is an opportunity to introduce the importance of leadership and good sportsmanship which, in my experience, leads to a boost in the player/student’s performance at school, work and in the community.


Joey Hamilton Teaching Philosophy
I was seven years old when I first started playing baseball and it has been a major part of my life since then. I have competed at the highest levels the game has to offer and all along the way feeling the same excitement of that seven year old. Baseball is a simple game but it is not easy and the longer you play the more you will experience its ups and downs. I have experienced plenty of both. It is a game of preparation and execution both mentally and physically. My belief is that teaching using knowledge, practice, confidence, humility and inspiration best prepares them for any situation on and off the field.
