After training hundreds of high school baseball players, I need to tell you the truth about private lessons:
Most of them are wasting your money.
Some families are spending $100+ per hour for hitting lessons. That’s $400 a month for just 4 extra hours of work.
4 hours out of a 720-hour month.
Do we really think that alone is enough to separate your son from every other player trying to play college baseball?
Probably not.
The biggest issue isn’t the lesson itself…it’s the dependency it creates.
At some point, your son has to learn how to work without someone standing next to him flipping balls, correcting every swing, and motivating him to keep going.
Because when he steps into the batter’s box, the hitting coach isn’t coming with him.
The players who separate themselves are the ones willing to work when nobody is watching.
That’s how I approached baseball growing up, at NC State, and during my 7 years in professional baseball with the Cardinals and Padres organizations.
A lot of nights, while everyone else was partying or hanging out, I was in the cage working.
Not because someone forced me to.
Because I wanted the result badly enough.
That’s the difference.
Most players want the outcome.
Very few are willing to live the lifestyle required to get there.
And that’s why I believe accountability and self-discipline matter more than another one-hour lesson every week.
The goal should be helping your son become his own best coach.
Because that’s the real superpower at the next level.
Only around 7% of high school baseball players will play college baseball.
The players who make it are usually the ones willing to sacrifice distractions, stay consistent, and put in the work even when nobody is watching.
That’s what actually moves the needle.
