BRAD THOMAS COACHING LESSONS NOW AVAILABLE!!!
Hi To All My Baseball Friends,
After many years of requests to start up a regular coaching routine here at home in Sydney, My schedule finally allows me to try and fill those requests.
My dream is building this into a formal Brad Thomas’s Big League Xperience Baseball Academy, at a later stage, to travel and host other academy’s from Interstate and Overseas using my contacts from professional baseball all over the world. I am looking into eventually building a training complex, complete with MLB replicated clubhouse with lockers, lounges and TVs, batting cages, pitching mounds and weight room here in Sydney. A place where our current and future MLB stars will all practice and learn all aspects to succeed in Major League Baseball. A true MLB experience. All participants will be prepared for MLB better than ever before.
The earlier in age we start, the greater the chances of success as I will instil the correct work ethic and knowledge into your future baseball star that no one else can replicate in NSW. Perfect practise makes perfect!
Whether your future baseball star is currently on the NSW state team or not, my coaching will push them to that next level, providing advantage over everyone else for the next trials.
For now though, I am seeking expressions of interest in lessons.
After much thought on the right way to go about the lessons, I feel it’s best to offer a few different options. I would be looking to agree on a minimum 10 weeks of lessons, meeting at an agreed baseball field in your area. This minimum length program allows me to teach required physical and mental requirements to be an MLB star.
A few of those options available are
1 on 1 coaching – 45minute sessions @$125
2 on 1 coaching – 50 minute sessions @$90 each
3 on 1 coaching – 60 minute sessions @$75 each
And so on. – 60 minute plus sessions
Email BT.36.au@gmail.com to arrange a booking.
I am happy to work with whole teams and coaches at training sessions if required and all team and parents are onboard with the program.
All students are required to carry a notebook and pen and all times.
All participants in this 10 week program will have first right of refusal to join Brad Thomas’s Big League Experience Baseball Academy when it starts.
The goal is to make future MLB Stars with the knowledge that I learned over the whole 19 years. Something no other person in NSW can provide.
Please pass this onto all our baseball family and don’t hesitate to message me with any questions and expressions of interest.
Seeking Expressions of interest at this stage to coordinate bookings on same days at similar locations. There are only so many time slots and locations available. Please let me know ASAP to avoid disappointment on BT.36.au@gmail.com.
