Reviews & Testimonials
Bobby Woods’ instruction is peppered with phrases like “muscle memory”, “weight transference”, and “stimulus response”, but the video is so carefully organized by segment and the terms so clearly defined verbally and visually that any intimidation felt by parents of either gender – will be successfully relieved.

I recently purchased your video "Mom Can You Teach Me How To Hit ?" and I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the video. I have been involved in youth baseball and softball for the past 12 years and this video is a refreshing and informative look at the art and science of hitting. I have watched many hitting and pitching instructional videos, but yours is a breath of fresh air. Your video reinforced a lot of the techniques that I teach my kids and has added quite a few great ideas for my instructions in the future.
Again, Thank you for the video. It was entertaining and very informative.

From the first viewing it is apparent that all of Woodsy's talents fused from years of experience as a player, coach, and teacher have coalesced into this exquisite teaching video. His easy going manner as well as his encouraging and supportive style provide a lucid and detailed description of how to hit a baseball. He understands kids; he knows baseball and he grasps the fundamentals of how we learn. He breaks the process of hitting the ball into discreet parts, that one can practice with a child both at home and on the ball field.
From the batter's stance, to seeing the ball, to the step, the swing and the follow through; Woodsy clearly explains these basic principles describing exercises that will make them second nature and help any child hit the ball more often and with greater confidence. My son has thoroughly enjoyed the video. It has helped me to work with him in a more constructive and supportive manner, and both his hitting and his confidence have improved. My only wish is that there had been such a tape when I was a kid!

Just wanted to let you know how much my husband and son are enjoying your " Mom, Can You Teach Me How To Hit?
My husband thinks it is awesome!!! He actually was not interested in watching it at first. He thought it was a Mother/Son type video. I watched it with my son and then told my husband about a couple of the drills. He was intriqued, watched it, and now is so glad he did! " My husband and son use the DVD twice per week. Every Tues. and Thurs. evening, they watch a few segments of the DVD and go out in the back yard and do those particular drills they just studied. " Have you made any more videos? Do you do any clinics in Jacksonville, FL?
Thanks,
