Start Here: Initial Evaluation and Skill Assessment — $40
Start here. Before training, we evaluate the player.
In person at 3525 Latrobe Dr., Charlotte, NC. What happens: in-person evaluation of the player — pitching and/or hitting, as applicable; assessment of strengths, limitations, and what to work on first; and a clear next step — whether that is individual sessions, and what to train first. What you leave with: an assessment of where the player is now, the 1–2 priorities to work on first, and a training recommendation — no obligation to book further sessions. Book the Initial Evaluation at tidycal.com/jimrooney46.
