The 4 BIG Problems Keeping You From Varsity (And Beyond 🚀)

If you want to play varsity baseball, there's 4 main problems you're going to face:

1. You can't move correctly
2. You can't move in the game
3. You aren't prepared for every situation
4. You don't know how to lead 

And what that causes is:

- You don't look like a varsity catcher
- You don't play like a varsity catcher
- You don't perform in pressure situations
- You don't earn the respect of the team and coaches

And this can be very discouraging. I don't want that for you.

The plan solves each of those problems in order

1. Master Your Movements
2. Get Game Ready
3. Nail The Nuances
4. Learn To Lead

And throughout your whole journey...

- You have a trusted guide
- Guiding you in a proven process

This ensures you go FURTHER and FASTER without as many mistakes :)

❌ Compare this to your 3 OLD options

If you're anything like my other clients before they started working with me, you likely fall into one of these 3 "old plans" below:

Old plan 1 (YouTube): Search YouTube for “best catching drills” and try to do some in the backyard or at practice. Get frustrated because you’re not seeing the drills translate over to the game. Try to tell them to adjust their stance and they say “I’m already doing that!” Realize you’re missing the big picture on how it all fits together and go search for more drills online. Repeat.

Old plan 2 (In Person Lessons): You spend time researching and asking around for who can do catching lessons. You find out there are no good catching coaches near you. Maybe you’re one of the lucky people who has a good catching coach near you. Then you run into 3 types people who are all at least a 30 minute drive away and all charge $60-$120 an hour:

• Coach 1 - Used to catch in the minors - this guy caught a long time ago. You wonder if he’s up to date on the most current trends with catching or if you’re going to get “gotta want it back there” shouted as he chucks balls off your kid’s forearms.
• Coach 2 - Current college or pro player - this guy is likely pretty good and up to date, but he’s busy and is playing consistently. It’s hard to get on the calendar with them consistently.
• Coach 3 - Current coach or pro player - this guy is also likely a pretty good coach, but he’s always looking for the next coaching role, so he could be gone at any point.

Regardless of who you work with, you run into the same problem:

Your kid makes good progress while in person but doesn’t practice at home (or practices incorrectly). Then at the next catching lesson they repeat the same mistakes as last week.

Repeat and print out cash for this coach who does drills you saw on YouTube that you could do at home. Plus when you look at the total on the gas meter when you fill up your tank again and when you see what time you get home you end up asking yourself “is there a better way than this?”

Old plan 3 (Online Course): You grab an online course on catching (this is especially true for softball). This helps you get the information you need to get better at catching, but there’s no feedback for you personally, which leaves you asking “Am I doing this right? I think I’m missing something.” You leave the online course saying “I don’t think this online thing works. I think I’ll look for in-person lessons near me again.”

In Person -> Online

So how did I come up with this video coaching model that's helped so many catchers? 

Well, I found myself doing in person lessons with catchers and we'd make great progress in lessons...

but then they'd come back the next week and repeat the same mistakes.

Well, I love to obsess about "learning how to learn" and I thought to myself, "How do I:
- Do a little a lot
- Teach one thing at a time
- In the most effective progression?"

And so I stopped all my in person lessons and had them do a daily online program with me (it wasn't even called CatchCORE yet haha).

And the results were crazy. They got so much better. So much faster.   

Plus they liked online better than in person lessons because they could see themselves in slow-motion, see the lines I was drawing on their body, and hear my feedback.

Plus, it was only 10 minutes a day and their bodies started to develop muscle memory from the consistent practice.

So I knew there was something here and I went all in on it. 

Since then, I've helped 100+ catchers go through CatchCORE and they've made crazy progress 🚀

Who is Coach Bougie?

If you don't know me, I'm Coach Bougie. I help catchers get better quickly.

You might have seen my free catching content (@catchingmadesimple) on social media.

I transitioned from a middle infielder to a catcher my junior year of college (which is really late), so I know the challenges a catcher faces when learning the position.

I was literally in your shoes! (Which is why I love working with catchers like you).

And yes, I played at Biola with Coach Rac. 

We're good friends and were in each other's weddings.

And now we get to make baseball content together

Plus, we help young men and women get ready for varsity and become better people 💪
