Coach Parker has created a remarkable training system that is like no other.  From college programs down to little league, from baseball to softball, coach Parker produces quality players and coaches year after year.  With 23 years of experience as a coach & professional hitting instructor, combined with a professional career in education, coach Parker has masterfully combined his two passions  into a powerful training system designed for every player and coach in the game.  A true student of the game and a coach that prides himself in "always learning." Coach Parker holds a M.A.Ed and is currently working towards his Ph.D.   A coach that thoroughly understands the mechanics of great hitting and combines it with the art of teaching like very few coaches can.

Sparky has been coaching baseball and fastpitch on the Eastside since 1988 and has experienced  high levels of success.  In 1993, Sparky coached a Kirkland U-18 girls fastpitch team to a World Series Championship.  In 1999, he coached a U-14 Juniors to a fourth place world series finish and followed it up two years later with a 2nd place finish, in 2001.  Over the past 8 years he has focused specifically on training coaches and players all across the country.

 

I have been coaching for 23 years and have attended 100's of seminars on hitting over the years.  Out of every clinic and every seminar that I have attended, no one has ever once said, "would you like to know how Edgar swings? how about Barry? Arod? or Jr?"  "It wasn't until I came across Mike Epstein that I began to comprehend what hitting really was all about.  Even though I may not agree with the teaching system Epstein he uses, I can honestly say that he is truly a pioneer and has been an instrumental influence in my coaching career, and for this I am sincerely grateful.
