“A good athletic training
program requires an
objective
, proper
equipment
and a
routine
. The best
coaching tip I can give you
is to be organized and
be equipped.”
Jim Lefebvre
Major League Player,
Coach & Manager
“
Congratulations
in
choosing the Casey Pro
3G, the official Pitching
Machine of Major
League Baseball
®
.”
For a man who has coached and managed some of the highest
profile players in the game today – marquee names like Ken Griffey
Jr., Mark Grace, Jose Conseco, Matt Williams and Sammy Sosa – Jim
Lefebvre gets most animated when he talks about baseball while
sitting in his own backyard.
“This is where it all starts,” Lefebvre says. “All great ball players
started in the backyard with their father, or maybe a brother
or neighbor.”
It is this backyard venue and the neighborhood parks that will
produce the high profile hitters and the defensive standouts of
tomorrow. And it is those same fathers and brothers, moms and
neighbors who will help these would-be Major Leaguers realize
their dreams.
“The Casey Pro 3G is the most exciting piece of training equipment to
come along in years for developing the reflex skills of a ball player.”
The ‘PRO’ is so versatile in its application for drills that it is like
having an extra coach on the field.
“Over time and using the many advance training technologies
available, there has developed a systematic method of teaching
the fundamental principles of hitting and fielding.” However, those
fundamentals remain the same today as when the ‘Babe’ strode to
the plate!”
This manual offers these fundamental principles in a way that allows
anyone, a father, a mother, a brother or neighbor to coach an athlete
to become a high profile hitter and a great defensive performer. But,
instead of dry mechanics and complicated theories, you will learn the
brilliance of simplicity!
Here’s how easy it is.
“Sustained, optimum performance is the goal of any training
program. And a player’s personal goal should be to continually
elevate his level of performance.”
There are four levels of performance and using hitting as an
example, here is how they work.
The initial level is the moment itself, when your adrenaline surges,
igniting your
swing Thought
. This is called the
Broad
Level
of performance.
The next level, the
Broad Internal
, occurs when you begin processing
the mechanical or technical aspects of your swing. You actually
visualize what you will do to the ball.
