I am looking into giving hitting lessons in my spare time and am just looking for some input or advice from parents and coaches. This is something that I have always wanted to do, and now that I am out of the game as a player, I would love to put my knowledge to work.
A little background about myself. I played four years of college baseball as an outfielder starting almost every game for the three schools that I attended. I have been through more coaches and hitting instructors than most have and have heard just about every philosiphy about hitting though my playing days.
My main problem is that I won't have a true batting cage to teach these lessons at. I have a tee and a very nice net in my basement where I would be able to do drills like tee work and soft toss on, and I also have a video camera to get footage of their swings. If I would be able to build my clientel up over time, which I know won't be easy, I would probably be able to rent time at a local batting cage.
If anyone has any advice for someone like myself, please feel free to contribute, thanks.
