NEW ELITE TEAM TRAINING PROGRAM!!!

Are you ready for the most explosive year of your career? Is your team capable of standing up to the challenge of playing with the intensity that professional baseball demands?

It is time to make the leap of faith and train with BLE in the Elite Team Training Program that has little patience for underachieving players, attitudes that need to be babysat, and teams that just want to have fun. Are you dedicated enough?

OVERVIEW:

This explosive "team oriented" training program has NO CURRICULUM. There is only one goal- to build a championship winning team filled with champions. The individualized style of training that all BLE coaches utilize will focus on the individual's abilities- NOT TEAM OR GROUP abilities!!!!

BLE can accomplish this through training logistics that include small focus groups, one team per training time, and a high number of SENIOR BLE INSTRUCTORS!!! Involved in this program are:

Jim Parque- (6 yr. major league veteran)
Giomar Guivara- (Seattle Mariners Shortstop 2001)
Marc Wiese- (NY Mets and SPSL Coach of the year)
Ron Rakowski- Tacoma College pitching coach
Mark Percosky- San Diego Padres Organization
Orion Jones- head coach for Pierce College
Jason Mackintosh- Triple A Tacoma Rainiers Pitcher
Jeff Hebner- GRCC Infielding coach
Quientin Poil- WSU, Yakima JC coach, and Select team coach of perrinal powerhouse 16U Roxx
Larry Marshall- Pacific Lutheran head coach and Select team coach of perinnal powerhouse 13U Knights
Dennis Voss- Naches Varsity head coach and Select team coach of perinnal powerhouse 13U Shockers

TRAINING DETAILS:

Offensive Training- Prevalent throughout the training world are instructors and "how to" guides that teach lower half mechanics. However, it is IMPOSSIBLE to consistently hit high velocity pitching and/or sharp breaking balls without solid upper half mechanics. Elite Team Training requires players to have a good sense of lower half mechanics that have been taught by everyone else. Now learn the upper half mechanics of using your hands, planing your shoulders, and creating much needed "whip" with the elbows and wrists.
Pitching Training- If you want to dominate hitters and get paid to play this game- TRAIN WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS. Jim Parque, Jason Mackintosh, and Mark Percosky have all been paid to play this game by dominating the best hitters in the game. Under their guidence, pitchers will learn how to utilize their hips to consistently develop and locate fastballs, increase their velocity with the "wrist flip" and "explosion transfer", develop a "two speed fastball", and improve and/or develop knee buckling off speed pitches that exhibit bite. Pitchers will also see a big increase in their mound presence that includes pitch selection, intimidation of hitters, and ability to pitch inside effectively.
Fielding Training- Fancy footwork and pretty glove flips can be used for underpowered grounders. Elite Team Training footwork, glove work, and advanced angles can be used when the baseball is hit by an oversized hitter who is moving on to the next level!!! Learn what it takes to have "soft hands" and the big time range needed to field shots up the middle and in the hole. Outfielders, 1st basemen, catchers, and middle infielders will learn all the ins and outs of their position.
