But wait... there's more...
“As a varsity baseball coach and baseball academy owner on the east coast, I’ve been following coach Nelson’s updates, articles and videos to learn more coaching techniques. When I heard that I could subscribe to be a member of Cornerstone to have unlimited access to ALL of his books, courses and videos, it was a “no-brainer”. I am currently implementing his hitting drills and tactical games from his GENERATING OFFENSE e-book and online course. There is so much QUALITY information about coaching baseball there is no reason to have to purchase another book or coaching manual.”

I had never coached baseball until I met Coach Nelson. Through his coach training system I went from being uncomfortable as an assistant coach to running my own high school team. Having access to the Cornerstone library and online courses has been a godsend to me. I accessed the library daily to get tactical games, and practice organization ideas. The courses revolutionized my coaching style, much to the benefit of my athletes and gave me a firm belief system to carry throughout my season. If there was anything I needed on a daily basis, this website had it for me.
