Dear Scott

Daniel started pitching lessons with Scott at age 11. Scott taught Daniel weekly to “pitch” not just throw.  Scott taught both the physical and mental approach to the game which gave him the “intangible” aspects that college coaches are looking for. The weekly lessons for years and playing for Scott and the Ridgebacks helped Daniel attain the highest level of play at High School and now at the College level.  Coaches at the college level have commented that Daniel’s mechanics are sound and he has never had arm problems.  We thank Scott and Erin for their help. The time and money spent over the years is “priceless”.  Daniel was named in the top 10 pitchers in the country for Division I baseball in 2012 and is now one of the top pitching prospects in the Houston Astros organization.

Scott,
 
Now that the Spring season is over, we wanted to drop a note and say that Nathan had a great experience.  He learned a lot this season and certainly the hitting lessons with you improved his performance at the plate 10 fold.  Shauna and I know that his involvement with Slam and Premiere baseball will benefit him significantly as he tries out for his high school at Vandegrift next January.  Thanks to you and the staff there for helping him achieve his next goal.
 
Thanks,
 
Dan Upp

Scott and Staff,
 
We thought you guys did a great job with the boys this Fall and we are thrilled with the progress Thomas has made.  Changing clubs is not without risk but we are very happy with what we experienced and would do it all over again given the chance.  All of your coaches really seemed to be plugged into the boys at this age - able to communicate well, etc - but Nick really left an impression on Thomas.  So much so Thomas commented in the car ride home Sunday (and that in and of itself is unusual) that Nick has been his best coach ever.  Now I am sure he meant to say "after you dad" so you can consider Nick Thomas' second best coach ever!
 
What really impressed him about his style, and yours Scott, is the "coaching" that happens between innings or in the dugout - and the lack of yelling at the kids in the middle of a game to point out errors and the like.  We subscribe to the philosophy that practice is for practicing, and games are to see what they have retained.  You guys have done a great job here.
 
You may mention this to Nick if you like, but I already gave him my thanks in person Sunday afternoon.
 
Thanks for all the work and sacrifice for the sake of the kids.
 
 
Bill and Christy.
Scott,
 

The name Positive Baseball is really key.  George and I were talking when we got home how we thought Phillip would never play again after coming off of a season last year where his confidence was totally crushed by his coaches.  It’s been so nice to hear him laugh and be excited after a game win or lose.    He has his confidence back and we truly appreciate the philosophy you have with your organization.  Sean never had coaches that crushed his spirit but Phillip did for 2 seasons and it was heartbreaking.  We just want to say thanks for helping prove to Phillip that he can play ball.

Scott,

I just wanted to say thank you for everything you did for Lawrence.  He is doing very well on his incoming freshman summer team.  Several parents that had not seen him play since his 13U season commented on his improvement.  I gave you all the credit!  Thanks again!

Scott,

Once again I wanted to thank you for all that you have done for Ian.  He definitely improved in all aspects of his game over the last 2 years while in your program.  I believe the reason for his improvement is a direct result of your knowledge, attitude, and how you not allow gain the respect of the kids playing for you but, also due to the fact that you treat them with the same respect you expect from them.

 

Talk to you soon,

Scott and Erin-

We thoroughly enjoyed our time with you guys and I wish it could have gone on forever.  (I need to adopt a kid and start over again).  David learned some valuable life lessons from Scott and I know he had many great memories playing with PBD.  You guys run a wonderful program that teaches kids how to both play and respect the game of baseball and how to live the game of life.

As luck would have it, David ended up as a starting varsity linebacker for two years at Dripping Springs High School and was a senior team captain last year.  Furthermore, he received the defensive player of the year award, All District honorable mention and was First Team Academic All State.  More importantly, David is a National Merit Scholar Finalist and will study Aerospace Engineering at Texas A&M.  We are very proud of David and I know you guys are as well.  I feel his experiences at PBD played a part in helping David become the young man he is today.

Thank you very much,

David & Liz Lawrence

Scott, Erin, and Coaching Staff

 

Thank you for a wonderful season - we are so proud off all the kid's accomplishments.

 

There was not one time during the entire season of practices, games, or tournaments that the PBD coaching staff was not constructive and positive with the kids.  It was really refreshing to watch how each of you always found a way to turn a mistake or bad choice into a positive teaching moment.

 

We are so prod that Zach could be a part - thank you!
