A few months ago Kole, Maci and myself produced a YouTube video on proper stance and set up at the plate for hitters.

This is the link to that YouTube video and it's a good idea for the kids to review it every now and then.

Kole Renken goes over the proper Set-Up and Stance including Distance from The Plate, Holding the bat with the Fingers and not in the Palm of the hand, Keep...

Professional Hitter Kole Renken sharing some proper swing techniques to Maddie.

Maci, Ava and Maddie have spent time with Kole at Fletchers Hitting Center.

We all agree, he is worth every minute/penny. Kole has a great way with the kids he teaches and is $5 dollars richer after I challenged him to do 50 (fifty!) Push-ups in 1 minute! Lol

He is playing in Texas currently (Santa Fe) and hopefully he makes it back this way in the Fall to start teaching again!
