Mike Bard has an extensive baseball resume. He has been working with youth baseball players for more than a decade in the Denver area. He also has 13 years of Division I College Baseball Coaching experience, coaching at Kansas University, Texas Tech University, University of Texas at Arlington, and Dallas Baptist University. He was the assistant to the hitting coach for the Colorado Rockies in 2007. He currently works with Major League Baseball players as a private hitting instructor. Some of his clients have included the MLB Batting Champion, MLB Rookie of the Year, MLB Silver Slugger and an MLB All Star.
His goal is to make sure every youth baseball player that comes to him knows what is true about hitting. A successful student is one who knows how to correct himself, when coaches are nowhere to be found. Mike works to build a solid foundation of understanding in minds of players, coaches and parents. |
