We owe the success to our 10 pro scouts, who coached the 57 players for two weeks. On the 29 December in Adelaide, South Australia we conducted a 6 hour clinic for our players and 50 Australian players in the 95º heat.
Dante Bichette, former ML player presented to all the players and coaches a visual clinic on improving "bat speed".
"Outstanding". The best instruction, that I have ever observed.
Hopefully, we repeat this trip in 2011.

Congratulations Bob! Great to hear you had another successful Australian experience.

On the 29 December in Adelaide south Australia at our clinic for the Aussies and our American players you would have "loved" to hear Dante Bichette talk about hitting. He referred to the great players and presented their swings in proving his discussion on improving "bat speed" by using the hips.
Later in the day at the pro game, Dante threw out the first ball. Pat Kelley former NY Yankee is the GM of the South Australian team.
We are already preparing for 4 teams for Goodwill Series XVIII.

Bob, you can bet I would have enjoyed that for sure!
I find it very interesting that a growing number of Aussies are now playing pro ball in the US as their level of play gets better and better at home. I have a feeling your tours and the level of competition you provide are having a lot to do with that. Australia has always been one of those exotic destinations I would have liked to visit but I think I'm a little too old to try out for your teams!
I believe I have read that Dante Bichette's son is quite a young player.
