Kelvin Parker Baseball Lessons
About
I love the game. I’ve coached players from little league to semipro. I played in the Little League World Series, won a goal medal in Jr Olympics and drafter 1st year out of college, I know a little about the game but there is always more, with that I'd love to share. I like to record and study theirplayers movement. pinpoint their strengths and focus on improvements. I try to make it fun yet tough. But everyone will walk away being able to apply new skills to their game.
i love the game! I enjoy playing it, coaching, watching, sharing knowledge and seeing people play it right!

Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Im always fond of little league worlds series. I played in it in 1986 for Sarasota. The world series represents the highest level a youth can play. Here is where those striving to be great should be apart of, or atleast league play that can allow you to get there. Set some goals.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Dive in. See if that coach is a fit. Many coaches have many different styles. Some coaches never played many positions. Make sure your coach knows the area that you want training in.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Students should ask coaches if they can help them at the desired positions they wish to learn.
Any question is a good question, be curious about the game.
