Erik Johnson's encyclopedic knowledge of baseball, passion for the game, and skilled coaching is what attracted our family to the program. Five years later, I would say his emphasis on discipline, hard work, personal accountability, responsibility, and sportsmanship have increased my son's love of the game and his desire to improve as a player. With a carefully selected number of teams, EJ Sports insures players receive high-quality, age-appropriate coaching.
The coaches give the players the skills and knowledge to push themselves to the best of their abilities. The coaching staff has frequently challenged my son to improve. The expectation is always strive for excellence. However, EJ Sports truly understands the physical and mental abilities of youth players at all ages, so the expectations are challenging without being unreasonable.
The coaches have always expected the hard work and dedication from the players, and have been equally loyal and dedicated to the players development. Coaches have honest conversations with the players about future expectations and their baseball future at the end of the season.
My son's baseball experience has included lessons on baseball fitness, baseball etiquette, game situation scenarios, position-specific skill development, mental preparation, and college recruitment. The college recruitment seminars have been exceptionally valuable to understanding baseball at the collegiate level and the recruitment process. read more
