Raising A Hitter aspires to be more than just a training center for the elite athlete. It is meant to be, first and foremost, a community resource for any person of any age who wants a place in which to play and have fun.
Sure, there will be instruction available, and if you choose that route the standards will be exacting and the demands will stretch the limits of your potential. There is a time and place to push the bounds and pursue perfection. There is also a time and place to let go of any expectations and any worries and any inhibitions and just play! No micro-managing from a well-meaning coach or parent, no regard for doing things by the book in a prim and proper manner - rather, the unleashed and unfettered and unconcerned, verging on mindless, act of letting go and playing.
Relax, enjoy, and have fun without any worries. Mistakes come and go: the free and easy spirit set free when you play without fear is perhaps the single most important contributing factor to an athlete who loves his sport enough to endure the grueling hard work necessary to become great. Play, and any work that follows will seem like a continuation of play, and remain fun, as it should be. Play, and be your best.
