Steve Spurgeon Pitching Lessons
About
I love baseball! I have been playing baseball all my life and at 55 years old. I still play at the highest level possible. I play in men's senior league baseball national tournaments in Phoenix Arizona and Fort Myers Florida still to this day. I pitched for the Nebraska Cornhuskers and was an all Big 8 selection in 1987. I played three years of minor-league ball including a spring training major league experience with the Minnesota twins in 1995.
There's no guarantee anyone will play professional baseball, but if you don't know what it takes to make it then you won't for sure. I know what it takes to make it and I love sharing it with my students. I'm not only teach the mechanics of bitching, but the mental aspect of it as well. My students don't just learn to throw better, they learn how to pitch!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First of all I want to make sure the mechanics are sound. So we do some drills to tighten that up. But pitching is more than just throwing a baseball. It's more mental than anything else after you have the physical ability to do it. I teach kids more than just how to throw a baseball correctly, I teach them how to pitch!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I was an all big 8 By playing the game.pitcher for the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the late 80s, I played three years of minor league baseball including a stent in spring training with the Minnesota twins. I still play high-level baseball today!
I was a player coach in Canada in an independent minor league called the Prairie league in 1997. I was an assistant coach at Bellevue University in Bellevue Nebraska in 1999. I was a high school varsity baseball coach for north high school in Omaha Nebraska in 2000 to 2001. Since then I have continue to Play, and Coach privately. But as you can see by my website I do much more than just Baseball. I inspire people to live their dreams

What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
If you're able to find a coach who really knows what it takes to make it that is the best choice to make. I know lots of baseball coaches and many of them have never played beyond the high school or college level. And many of those coaches weren't very good players. I was a stand out player and a stand coach Coach. I know what it takes to make it and I have instilled it in the hearts of the kids who played for me.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
I would tell them to ask a potential coach about their playing experience. Not their coaching experience. There are many videos and classes people with no experience at all go and take and then go coach baseball.
For me I don't want the kids to ask me any questions upfront once we start working together. I just want them to start throwing the baseball so I can evaluate them and then they can ask questions as they come up when I start to perfect their mechanics
