I'm seeing a lot of Jen Schroeder catchers moving to Mark Campbell (they are both great coaches its a personal preference). For the person who said East cost would not know these coaches unless you live under a rock you should know these csoache, Jen Schroeder works in the same gym as a lot of the girls who run the clinics at The Package Deal which is in the East Coast all the time. Mark Campbell has a few PGF Championship Titles, several Empire League Championship Titles, a few ASA National Titles, and a CIF Title. My daughters travel team 14u does practice with all of our catchers at EVERY practice. Speed and Agility is very important it will improve the catchers to have stronger muscles.
Under this rock, it is a matter of availability and money ... I did not say the east coast would not know who she was, I said most
catchers would not know who she was ... Lessons and retreats being held in So Cal, these coaches are not household names on the East Coast like they are in your area ... If a clinic is held on the East Coast, it would be attended for sure ... But it would be uncommon and costly for people to fly 2500 miles ... It is my experience that says the majority of people will not drive more than 1-2 hours for a lesson and not drive more than 4-5 hours to a weekend clinic. Coaches and Parents are less likely to tell their athlete about clinics that are not available to them then they are likely to tell them about clinics that are available ... It is a select few whose parents will fly or drive several states for a weekend clinic ... Select few does not equal most ... Taking all that into consideration, most catchers would not know who JenShro is.
As far as your 14U team working with all the catchers at every practice, that's great ... As I opined earlier, historically catchers get the least amount of attention and deserve so much more.
