Mike Bridge
"Mike is one of the best motivators of young men and women I have seen in 35 years of playing and coaching.  He not only knows the mechanics and fundamentals of softball, but he knows every effective way to explain each movement to get young players to improve and buy in to changes that need to be made.  His teaching methodology involves the newest techniques and his way of teaching leaves each player and parent feeling confident and motivated.  It is a pleasure to have him at Hitters Sportsplex as a softball instructor.
