January 25, 2008 Goodfield Baseball is proud to present the Steve Englishbey Hitting Workshop. Steve is a renowned hitting instructor, and his trips to the East Coast are limited. The hitting workshop will be devoted to teaching young hitters to swing a bat in the most bio-mechanically efficient way possible covering three objectives: optimal swing quickness efficient swing path maximum bat speed Elite hitters at the highest levels of competition – both baseball and softball – have somehow learned to do these things when they swing a bat. But just exactly what are they doing to achieve them? Come hear Steve Englishbey discuss this and more, with a closing Q&A! 7-10 PM Pre-registration cost: $25 per person On-site cost: $35 per person Mount Olive Elem. School 2145 Chestnut Grove Rd.
