After reading more than 1,857 comments on this blog, it’s awesome to see this level of excitement, and see that so many coaches are already USING these techniques successfully with their teams!
Like this one:
“I let my kids watch the 8 Hitting Mistakes video and they could not wait to respond to you. While they watched the video they were saying “look at this!” and “look at that!” As a coach, we can now SEE the swing problems and then fix them. GREAT JOB AND THANK YOU PLEASE KEEP THEM COMING!” - Kevin Bugda
So that got me thinking… and I came up with an idea for a CONTEST…
This is the deal… the person who posts the most creative phrase beginning with:
“I need the “Total Hitting” video to…”
will get a no-cost LIFETIME membership in Baseball Inner Circle.
Meaning you’ll get a NEW Baseball coaching video, every month… for the rest of your life.
That’s a fantastic deal, don’t you think?
We are, however, tight on time. So this contest will only be open until 12 noon on Sunday March 1st.
Go ahead and post your entry now in the comments area below. (don’t forget to fill out the ‘email’ field so I can contact you directly if you win!)
I’ll announce the winners on Monday.
Good luck!
I need the “Total Hitting Video” to be the best coach that I can be, so I won’t let down my 9U kids! They deserve the best coaching, and with this video I can honestly say they will get it.
I am a volunteer coach and am always looking for ways to help out my kids. I have gone to you for many questions in the past and as always this looks great!

I need the “Total Hitting” video to help make every coach and player in our Association better so every team will have an equal chance to play good baseball.
This is awesome
I need the “Total Hitting” video becuase the longer I coach, the more I realize I know nothing! With today’s athletes, traditional techniques and coaching points just are not getting the job done. Fresh, new drills and ideas are essential to reaching the kids of the 2000’s. Hours of BP are useless and young athletes need to be able to practice their craft and have success. Boy, do I need this video!
I need the total hitting video to harness the mountain of potential which flows from every young player!!! mikekrauser@comcast.net

I need The Total Hitting Video to help me become a more effective Baseball Coach & Teacher.

I need the “Total Hitting” video to help this volunteer coach to become an effective volunteer coach.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to strive towards achieving the best performance from each player’s potential at successfully hitting the ball well!
I need the Total Hitting video to assist young baseball players in giving them the opportunity to be the best hitter they can be so that whether they are batting third in the lineup or ninth in the lineup, they can be successful and develop into a confident, explosive hitter each and every time they step up to the plate.
I need the Total Hitting Video so I can sleep the night before opening day.
I Need the ‘Total Hitting’ Video so any of the Kids I coach will have the opportunity to Watch and Learn the Proper and Correct Techniques and Fundamentals of this Wonderful Game.

I need the “Total Hitting” video to help my 7 year old daughter, in her words, “hit the crap out of the boys. Oops, I said crap.” I know almost nothing about coaching baseball and thanks to your “Coaching T-ball” guide and batting tips, my daughter can already out hit most of the boys on her team. I will be coaching instructional this year and this is exactly the tool I need to teach these kids proper technique.
Thanks, Rob.
I NEED THE TOTAL HITTING VIDEO TO TEACH MY 5 YEAR OLD SON AND HIS T-BALL TEAM PROPER TECHNIQUE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO TEACH THESES KIDS EARLY
I need the total hitting video —- let me rephrase this statement it would be an honor to be able to use this site for free. As a volunteer coach that has spent more money than I should have on video teaching aides and e books (most of the stuff my wife doesn’t know about!) - this will help me give provide a higher quality instruction on a more professional basis and give me more confidence to do the best job I can - which is what I want to do for the kids. Thank you for this contest. Joe Baker
Need the video to add to my ability to teach our youth the greatest sport in the world!
I wouldl ike the video to teach my son as well as the others on his team to be fundamentally sound baseball players. We travel a couple of states to play and would like for them to be successful. Thanks for allowing me to enter, KEN
Who doesn’t NEED your total hitting video? I have been a Little League coach for over 15 years and even with that many years in coaching I am always looking for new methods and drills to present to my plsyers to help them stay on top and interested in my instruction. Your material on the subject of hitting has been a breath of fresh air in a market that tends to promote the same old drills over and over. Thank you so much for all you do and for promoting this contest. Coach Mike
“I need the total hitting video” to enhance my coaching skills, incorporate drills for my players and teach proper hitting mechanics so we may continue to grow and get better as a team.
Since I coach young players I really need this package so we can continue to teach the correct skills of the game of baseball
I need the “Total Hitting” video to not only instruct them in proper mechanics, but also to recognize problems and use the given solutions. If they know the solution associated with thier problem, they will be able to make the needed adjustment. Nothing is more satisfying than watching a young ball player grow both physically and mentally in this sport. They develope this characteristic on the field and then apply it to life off the field.
I need the video “Total Hitting”
or on the bench I may be sitting!

I need the ‘Total Hitting’ video to ‘SQUARELY’ hit a round ball with a round bat. I know this is paraphrasing hitting great Ted Williams who once said that hitting a baseball is the hardest thing to do. This video will help me teach the mechanics that will enable all of my players to relax and have self confidence every time they step into the box.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to give every boy or girl I coach a chance to succeed. Even though I am only a volunteer coach my responsibility is more than just show up a few nights a week for practice and games. My responsibility is to be knowledgeable, to recognize what leads to success and how to get there. Kids look to me to make them better. I believe even the most challenged player can be taught to be successful and learn to love the game. I owe it to each one of them to be all I can be. “Total Hitting” can help me achieve my goals so they can achieve theirs.
Thanks for the opportunity to learn from the best.
Keep up the good work!

I need the “Total Hitting” video to get the next Ty Cobb started with the right technique.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to earn the trust of the kids and parents I work with because they see me teaching the most solid techniques with confidence from the start. You cannot fool kids (or parents)!
I need the “Total Hitting” video to help improve our 9/10 year olds to be confident and effective hitters. This program will help me become a better coach by giving me valuable skills that I can pass on our players.
I need the “Total Hitting” video because the boys I coach deserve to be taught the best even though they come from a small town with volunteer coaches. In this economy they can’t afford to join the expensive leagues in neighboring cities but we still have to play them. They deserve to be given the chance to show that they too can be great ball players and have fun without taking out a second mortgage on their home.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to make my players better hitters!
I need the “Total Hitting’ video to comntinue to study the game, exlorenew ideas, and remind myself that we never have it “all figured out.”
Playing in a very competitive league, every little thing helps, specially playing against some of the top team in the nation. We hope this can help our team improve the hitting.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to teach my young players that they can play and hit on the same level as the other teams they see that are so intimating to them!
I need the “Total Hitting” video to stop the Madness and improve my players hitting!
I NEED THE “TOTAL HITTING” VIDEO CAUSE I REALLY LOVE WORKING WITH KIDS YOU ARE NOT STUDS ON THEIR BASEBALL TEAMS IF YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.I ALSO USE IT FOR MY 10 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WHO IS PLAYING BASEBALL AND BATTING 3RD ON HER TEAM THANKS TO A LOT OF YOUR VIDEO’S.THAT’S WHY I NEED THE “TOTAL HITTING” VIDEO CAUSE TEACHING IS THE NAME OF THE GAME I PLAY.
THANKS COACH.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to show my assistant coaches that I am not the only one that can understand the fundimentals & mechanics of a good baseball swing. Not only to see it but know how to help the kids move in a direction that will better their at bat OBP. Because as important as it is to have a good swing it is just as important as know when not to swing.
These videos and tips are crusial to pratices, and game type stuations.
I need the “Total Hitting” video because it is the total hitting video… I have watched some of your other videos and have gotten great ideas and feedback from your drills. It is very important to keep things fresh and raw so it challenges the athletes you are working with..
I thank you for your continuing to educate me and some of me fellow coaches on hitting and baseball.
Thanks Coach

Ken; I need the “Total Hitting ‘ video to help me give the kids in our community the best knowledge there is on hitting. This is to help these kids who have these great dreams of being a baseball star and maybe someday making to the big leagues. This can hopefully help 1 or 2 kids obtain those dreams and also make every kid and coach better hitters and hitting instructors.
Thanks for all you do for youth baseball.

I need the Total Hitting” video to teach the fundamentals of a proper baseball swing to the kids on my Little League team and, especially, to the many volunteer coaches and managers who step up to fulfill a much needed role but are not properly equipped to teach young kids what is considered to be the most difficult task to do in any professional sport…to hit a round oncoming fastball with a round baseball bat - squarely, timely and with power!!!
Hey Kenny, we won one game last year. If you can “SHOW ME” the video, then I will “SHOW YOU” the results!!!!!
To show my kids the proper fundamentals and let them know that with the proper techiques, they can improve their game. This will make then happy, no matter what their skill level. Isn’t this what it is all about?
Kenny, Total Hitting will make us better hitters and I want to see the results, Make it happen!
I need the “Total Hitting” video to get Aussie kids loving baseball instead of cricket!
I need the “Total Hitting” video to help my Nepali players (I currently coach the only baseball team in Kathmandu) learn the proper techniques.
As the coach of the only baseball team in Nepal, I need the “Total Hitting” video to improve my ability to coach my youngsters, as there are absolutely NO baseball materials available in this country.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to help my players understand that quality instruction, proper drills and a lot of hard work are the keys to being a major league hitter.

I need the “Total Hitting” video to help these kids excel as players!
Coach Kelly
with the products i have purchased from you in the past and now with this offer, i am literally “chompin’ at the bit” to implement the new videos to my teams training schedule. for my kids, i not only have field work, but i do a LOT of class work also. with every drill, i have pictures and videos running at every station. the kids respond to this teaching method extremely well.
i simply can not wait to get started with the new videos. every day my travel team comes to practice, they ask me, “what will be learning today coach?”. by being the physical and visual teacher(coach) that i am, the kids respond in an unbelievable way to the flow of my practices. when i see the kids get out of their cars and RUN to get on the practice field, hungry for information, i know i am doing my job…….and it is all thanks to fantastic videos such as these being offered on Baseball Inner Circle.
I NEED the Total Hitting Video because… My name is BEAV!!!!! How else will I get the players to take me SERIOUSLY??? Also, we plan on running free clinics for all ages this summer (with nearly 600 kids playing youth baseball in our area). Giving them the tools to succeed the first time will carry them through their youth and hopefully pay for college some day!
Thanks again for what you’re doing, Kenny. Baseball is a great game–perhaps the greatest game–and kids everywhere will enjoy it to the fullest with your help. Even in Kathmandu from what I’ve read.
Kenny ,I need the “Total Hitting Video” so I can make the best impact on young players skill development! I will be honest and will not create a puffed up story to get something free here like others. Last season was very DISSAPOINTING for me and my 9-10 year olds.I was promised a lot of things by another well known coach if I would manage a team and he would help me but those promises never happened. I had coached before but This was my first time managing and I had to teach 14 kids most of the time by myself. It was rough especially with some of the first time players I had. My need to teach and help my kids enjoy baseball is the reason I first discovered and purchased you practice drills. If I had found them earlier in the season with some field help I know I could have made it a more enjoyable season for the team. This year will be different and I will hold my head up high. Thank you Kenny for all the knowledge I have now and I WILL not be praying for rain on game day anymore!
I need the”total hitting”video to help insure that we have a new generation of coaches that want to teach it the right way.
I need the “Total Hitting” video, to help all of the kids and parents alike to get better at what I am trying to coach. The video series that you have already shared with us, has been so helpful for parents to walk away with and continue to coach their child at home between practices. They all have responded with pretty much the samething, ” Now I can put to use what you are trying to teach my child. Thats what it is all about, parents that dont know how to coach and have struggled in the past getting there child home and trying to practice different things that coaches try to work on. Practice makes perfect, when Mom or Dad can help along…play ball BABY play ball. I coach High School football, and golf, there are alot of training videos out there, this is one of the best basebal resources I have been able to use. THANK YOU. Mike H.

I need the “TOTAL HITTING” video to teach this old ball player (me)some new tricks. I have been coaching in LITTLE LEAGUE for 27 years now. My approach to showing the players how to hit have been good over the years. The problem now is getting results early in the season rather than late in the season. Normally it takes 10-12 year olds half a season to grasp things. I have shown them some defensive videos and they seem to grasp this easier. kids nowadays seem to master what tyey see in videos faster than a live performance. LITTLE LEAGUE is considering having leagues re-draft every year. With me being able to share this information with the other coaches in the league we can change from being a pitdhing dominate league to a group of great hitters due to your video.
thanks for sharing your info

I need the total hitting video, because I am 62 years old and have been coaching for
a very long time. From instructional league, to American legion ball. and I can say
contrary to their own beliefs, not all of them knows it all. I love baseball and
I love kids and if in my own little way I can help them, I will do all I can for my
kids, both young and old.
Thanks
Jimmy
I need the “Total Hitting” video to become the coach I’ve always wanted to be. It’s all about the kids that I coach and having the right tools we need as coaches helps keep the kids going in the right direction and having fun playing the game. It’s all about the players.
Thanks again Kenny,
Coach Chris
I need the “Total Hitting” video because every good coach and player needs to be a “student of the game”. Experience as both a player and coach is extremely valuable, but without the desire, study of the game and utilizing resources like “Total Hitting” and “The Inner Circle” - well it like leaving a base runner on third base! I look forward to becoming a stronger “student of the game” along with the players I coach.
To every player and coaches success!

I need the “Total Hitting” video to become the total hitter.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to make the opposition weep!
“I need the “Total Hitting” video to…”Show U, Teach/Tell U–U Learn, U CAN DO!!”
use as “show, teach, tell and DO!!”–my guys can see hitting the “total hitting” way and they use their right side mind to copy the video and imprint it until it is second nature.
I need the”Total Hitting”video, to teach and show all, “The Better and Best way’s to hit”!
I would be honored to have the “total hitting video” to continue to teach my players the best way to improve there game. We have a saying the “practice is what you do at home” and what you do with your team and coaches are “learning sessions” this video falls right in to that mantra. This would be a way for players to learn while with their coaches and practice while at home.
T. Grothe
It would be a great to have the “Total Hitting Video” as a coach of a young 9u team the information and skills would help the kids and the coaches have a better understanding of what it really means to hit the ball. As coaches we talk the talk of knowing how to teach, with the “Total Hitting Video” now we can walk the walk. More importantly being a part of the “Inner Circle” will allow my coaches and myself the ability to learn what it really means to be a coach and a student of this great game called baseball.
Thanks Coach K
Respect the Game
I need the total baseball hitting video to deliver to my 10U players what they expect from me, sound baseball tecniques, growth and devlopment in baseball! I need to give back ten-fold what I was given 30 years ago, and this video will do it! Thank you!
I need the total hitting video because this is where my Varsity High School team struggled last season. I thank you for your efforts and I believe the video will be an “OUT OF THE PARK” home run for my team. Jeff
I need the “Total Hitting” video to enhance the love of baseball in the players that I coach. As most of us know making the game fun for the players is the best way of instilling the love of baseball in the younger children. We all know that hitting is not the only portion of baseball but it is the portion that players relate to as being fun, they do not start to grasp the rest of the game until later years. Total Hitting will make the players more successful at hitting which in turn will make them enjoy the game and thus help to instill the love of the game.
I need the “Total Hitting” video to better inhance my players batting so they don’t get frustated and give up. I’m volunteer coach and in only my second year as head coach. I Want to be a better not just for me but my players to. I tell my players not to get upset your young you have plenty to learn. I want to be the coach they need to take them to the next level. So thanks for the some of the skills, I have already learned from you. Know, I want to go to the next level.
