Coaches speak up about last year's clinics
We gave every coach that attended one of our 2011 Clinics an opportunity to send us their feedback anonymously. Here's what some of those coaches had to say:
I learned more about coaching baseball in one day than I did in the previous four years of coaching. It is the between-the-lines stories they can tell from their experiences growing up and playing pro ball that really gave substance to what they were teaching.
-Cleveland 2011
Learning the Ripken Way of coaching is invaluable. Not only can I apply it on the diamond, I can apply it to other sports I coach as well. It makes so much sense and I tend to overcomplicate things.
- Baltimore 2011
The clinic was awesome. There was so much information that it was like drinking water from a fire hydrant.
- Atlanta 2011
I've attended dozens of clinics. This was the most informative and fun.
- Atlanta 2011
I would recommend this clinic to any coach at any level. It's a tremendous value.
- St. Louis 2011
The best clinic I ever attended. The fact that Cal and John are coaching high school added even more excitement for me - they know exactly the minds we deal with.
