SETPRO SKILL-POWER TRAINING CENTER

 Dear Parent, Coach or Player,

 How would you like to add 75 feet to your hitters long ball or 8 MPH to your pitchers fastball in ONE DAY! Attending our one day seminars can do just that.

 Why we can make this claim.

 SETPRO designs and sells the most advance baseball specific training systems available. For over six years, thousands of players of all ages have dramatically increased their baseball and softball skills using SETPRO’s training products.

 “I have trained over 300 players in the past two years using SETPRO’s products and methods. All have increase bat speed by 10 or more MPH in 6 weeks or less” Karl Schilling, The Power Zone, Central, SC

 “Players like Alex Rodreguez demand the best. SETPRO products are a vital part of my instruction and training” Charlie Lau Junior

 “I hear great things about SETPRO Products and Training methods from our customers” Rita and Dave Hudgens

 “In my 20 years of baseball, I really never understood the mechanics of hitting because no one could ever explain them. In one day, I learned more than 20 years of playing baseball” Mark Johnson, Professional Player, Hanshin Tgers of Japan’s Central League.”

 We have taken our training and mechanics expertise and created a uniquely powerful one day hitting and pitching seminar. These seminars are held at SETPRO’s Skill-Power Training Center in Branford, CT.

 How it works, you have four choices

 A half day seminar on hitting or pitching, your choice. You can do one or the other (half day each). Or you can do both and have a full day covering hitting in the morning, pitching in the afternoon. Or you can do our full day covering just hitting or the full day covering just pitching where the player is put through testing and his mechanics are reviewed and analyzed.

 Half day seminars are intended to give you the most information in the shortest amount of time. They are the most advance “classrooms” on hitting and pitching mechanics and training. They go far beyond any of the video tape programs on hitting and pitching.

 Half day seminars. Morning covers hitting or pitching (depends on date) and afternoon covers pitching of hitting (depends on date).

 8:00-8:30 AM Arrival and Registration

 8:30-10:00 Hitting Mechanics. The first half of the morning is used to discuss hitting mechanics using the following format:

 The four most popular schools of hitting, Ted Williams “Rotational”, Charlie Lau “Weight Shift”, Mike Schmidt “Hybrid” and Doyle “No Stride” are examined and their differences and similarities are used to explain and understand the hitting process.  

  • The kinetic chain, what it is and how it works.
  • How the kinetic chain explains the role of the lower and upper body
  • The difference between momentum and strength and how to use it to develop maximum bat speed.
  • “Hitting posture” it’s dramatic effect on the swing and a new way to understand and teach hitting mechanics
  • The timing process. What it is, how it works, how it affects mechanics
  • Vision, the great unknown. Tips and techniques 

You will see how SETPRO has analyzed the hitting process to develop totally new ways of looking at mechanics and teaching the hitting process.

 Symptoms versus problems. The swing is a high speed sequence of muscle-body movements. Many times what coaches “think” is the problem is really a symptom of the real problem. Many hours and sometimes a player’s career are wasted on efforts that do not address the real problem. After learning how the hitting process works “real world examples’ will be used to show how to identify hitting “symptoms” from “hitting problems”.

 The use of video of players at all levels is used to illustrate and explain these concepts.

 10:00-10:15 AM Break

 10:15-12:00 Noon Training a hitter to reach their genetic potential. Covers the entire training process from strength (resistance, weights) to sport specific training. Learn how 99 out of 100 hitters add 10 or more MPH to their bat speed in 4-6 weeks. And how the motivated players add 20+ MPH or more. Goes beyond anything currently available. Topics include:

  • The role of strength and speed in producing power and how the body does both
  • The role of variation and it’s importance to maximizing your return on your training efforts
  • Specificity of training, the most misunderstood training concept in sports.
  • Identifying your training needs and how to determine the best program to meet those needs
  • Functional training, forward into the future or back to the past
  • Typical training programs for Little League, High School, College and Professional baseball and softball players, from strength to skill. 

By the end of the morning I guarantee you will know more about the hitting process and the advanced techniques to train a player to reach their maximum potential than 97 out of 100 coaches and instructors.

 Half day seminar on pitching

 12:30-1:00 PM Registration

 1:00 PM-2:45 PM Pitching Mechanics. The first half of the morning is used to discuss pitching mechanics. Theories and methods of the popular pitching “advocates”, Tom House, Bill Thuston, Dick Mills and others as well as pitching concepts such  “drop and drive”, push vs. pull”, “tall and fall are examined and their differences and similarities are used to explain and understand the pitching process. You will then learn how SETPRO has developed a comprehensive model of the pitching process (mechanics) and a teaching system/method that goes far beyond what is traditionally taught. For the first time you will see all of the pieces “pulled together” including: 

  • Understanding the pitching kinetic chain and; your key to pitching mechanics
  • How the body develops pitching power. The difference between pitching force and pitching momentum and how to maximize the two.
  • Arm action, the most important and least understood part of mechanics.
  • Putting it all together, from toes to fingers

 The use of video of players at all levels is used to illustrate and explain these concepts (Nolan Ryan, Pedro Martinez, Billy Wagner, and others). 

2:45-3:00 PM Break.

 3:00-5:00 PM How to train a pitcher to reach their genetic potential. Covers the entire training process from strength (resistance, weights) to sport specific training. We show you how any pitchers can add 10% or more to their pitching velocity in 6 to 8 weeks. 

  • The role of strength and speed in producing pitching power and how the body does both
  • The role of variation and it’s importance to maximizing your return on your training efforts
  • Specificity of training, the most misunderstood training concept in sports.
  • Identifying your training needs and how to determine the best program to meet those needs
  • The facts about functional training, are we going forward into the future or backwards to the past?
  • Typical training programs for Little League, High School, College and Professional baseball, going from strength to power to skill. 

Maximum number of attendees per session is 15. You must register in advance.

 One day full seminars on hitting and pitching. A one day seminar designed for Parent/Coach AND Player attending  TOGETHER (individual coaches or players may attend, but seminars will always have  players in attendance). Parent/Coach and Player learn together. As part of this learning process, players are video taped and analyzed in the afternoon session. The combination of classroom and “hands on” makes this an extremely powerfull learning environment for both player and coach-parent.

 8:00-8:30 Arrival and Registration (All players need to arrive by 8:20) The morning session is divided into two parts.

 8:30-9:45 Player evaluations. The first half of the morning is used to evaluate and video tape all players in attendance. These video tapes are used in he afternoon session to “bring together” everything you learn during the rest of the day.

 Break 9:45-10:00 AM

 10:15-12:15 Hitting Mechanics How the body learns and performs baseball skills.  In 120 minutes you will learn more about mechanics than 90% of all of the coaches and instructors. The four most popular schools of hitting, Ted Williams “Rotational”, Charlie Lau “Weight Shift”, Mike Schmidt “Hybrid” and Doyle “No Stride” are examined and their differences and similarities are used to explain and understand the hitting process.

 You will see how SETPRO has analyzed the hitting process to develop totally new ways of looking at mechanics and teaching the hitting process. Including: 

  • The kinetic chain, what it is and how it works.
  • How the kinetic chain explains the role of the lower and upper body
  • The difference between momentum and strength and how to use it to develop maximum bat speed.
  • “Hitting posture” it’s dramatic effect on the swing and a new way to understand and teach hitting mechanics
  • The timing process. What it is, how it works, how it affects mechanics
  • Vision, the great unknown. Tips and techniques
  • How to go from mechanics to maximum potential

You will learn how The use of video of players at all levels is used to illustrate and explain these concepts. You learn by seeing the mechanics that made Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Hank Aaron, Ken Griffey, Sammy Sosa, Nomar Garciapara and others achieve greatness.

We teach no one system. We teach the how and why and then let the player find his mechanics that allows him to maximize his/her natural abilities.

 Working Lunch 12:15-1:00 devoted to questions and answers based on the morning program.

 1:00 PM-2:30 (speed, quickness, agility and power)  You will learn how the muscles and nervous system learns and performs physical skills.  What the specificity of training principle as applied to baseball really is. You will learn how to train the body to achieve your maximum genetic potential in developing the “5” tools.

Training a hitter to reach their genetic potential. Covers the entire training process from strength (resistance, weights) to sport specific training. Learn how 99 out of 100 hitters add 10 or more MPH to their bat speed in 4-6 weeks. And how the motivated players add 20+ MPH or more. Goes beyond anything currently available. Topics include:

  • Typical training programs for Little League, High School, College and Professional baseball and softball players, from strength to skill. 

2:30-2:45 Break, question and answers

 2:45-5:00 Evaluation of players in attendance. Each player will be evaluated. This includes mechanics and recommendations for improvement of skills, strength and quickness. You will learn how to really evaluate you son or players mechanics and how to design your own program to correct/enhance his/her performance.

 Materials provided: All attendees will receive seminar notes covering all topics and their examples.

Seminars are arranged by appointment only.

 NOTE: Attendance limited to a maximum of 15 attendees for half day seminars.

The full day hitting or pitching seminars will be limited to 6 players (total coach-parent and players) and a total of 15 people.

 Location: SETPRO’s POWER-SKILL TRAINING CENTER located at THE STRIKE ZONE, located in Clinton CT. (20 minutes east of New Haven CT.)
