After finishing my first minor league season with the Baltimore Orioles, I was in desperate need of an off-season job.  I figured I might as well teach what I know best, baseball.  Looking to separate myself from the hundreds of academies out there, I decided that I would catch on with this new wave of web technology, build a nice website and highlight my services with state-of-the-art video analysis. 

Starting the off-season with only a couple clients, and without a facility to my name (I would just use public fields), I quickly captured the interest of a larger clientele.  My clients loved having this online interaction as they were able to have 24/7 access to their analyzed clips and any drills that I uploaded to their account.   Using the BEST™ Solution started as an added bonus to my lesson clients.  However, as its popularity started to grow, I began selling video analysis to entire teams.  I would not only make extra money off these videos, but I would develop a lot of residual business (lessons) from these sales.  It quickly turned into more than an off season job. 

Now, back in season with the O’s, I would have players upload video to the site, and I would analyze them from my hotel room after games.  This past off season, I began closing league wide deals.  League officials would slightly raise registration costs and purchase a video analysis for all 1,000 players in their league.  In a matter of 3 years, starting from scratch, and without having my own facility, I turned my small business into a $150,000 a year business.  I would not have been able to do this without the BEST™ Solution!

The BEST system has greatly improved the product my facility offers.  Not only can we offer visual proof of what we teach, but it also helps keep my instructors organized.  By being able to watch these videos at home as much as they want, my students really feel like they are part of the process.  I would recommend this to anyone running a facility, just not one of my competitors!
