Our entire sports faculty roster at NEXT GEN FASTPITCH is comprised of experienced professional players who have dedicated their careers to preparing for this distinctive opportunity. Our faculty has crafted the comprehensive Tiki Don's journey of events, starting with our fundamental series and incorporating advanced technology. We believe that teaching fundamental skills for every position on the field is crucial to developing top-tier athletes. Armed with deep insights and a passion for the game, our faculty is committed to helping future generations of athletes reach their full potential by learning from the very best in the sport.
Our faculty leaders at NEXT GEN FASTPITCH are a diverse group of seasoned sports professionals who possess a deep understanding of the game, both on and off the field. They have developed a comprehensive and immersive 360-degree training method, designed to deliver an exceptional experience at venues nationwide, supported by an optimal 8-to-1 faculty-to-player ratio. This ensures personalized attention and detailed guidance for each athlete. Moreover, we've incorporated these expert insights into the Tiki Don’s training program, which is meticulously executed by our approved local coordinators at each event, making high-level training accessible in a variety of locations.
At NEXT GEN FASTPITCH, we believe the future of youth sports isn't anchored to a single breakthrough idea but rather a comprehensive suite of tools, drills, movements, and metrics that holistically enhance each player's capabilities. With our experienced faculty, who have navigated their athletic journeys from an early age, we emphasize a training philosophy that extends beyond mere participation in games and tournaments. We advocate for a strategically developed athlete development plan that is not only about playing the game today but also preparing athletes for the future demands of sports. This approach ensures our training is both forward-looking and deeply rooted in fundamentally transforming how athletes engage with their sports.
Each position-specific clinic at NEXT GEN FASTPITCH may differ slightly to tailor to the unique demands of each position, but the overarching structure remains consistent. We have established a national network of local coordinators, each responsible for position-specific clinic sites that have been rigorously vetted to ensure they meet our high standards. These clinics are designed to evaluate, instruct, and test athletes comprehensively. Utilizing the latest technologies, Tiki Don's Softball Events scales the expertly developed content and teaching methodologies of our faculty to enhance the learning experience, ensuring each athlete receives the most advanced and effective training possible.
At NEXT GEN FASTPITCH, we focus on both the "how" and the "why" behind every element of the game. Our approach is to deconstruct each position to its fundamentals, allowing athletes to understand not just what to do, but why they are doing it. This understanding is crucial as it enhances both the execution and the strategic aspects of play. We provide detailed, position-specific feedback through practice "correctives," which are tailored to address individual needs and improve overall performance.
Furthermore, our athlete "dashboard" features professional faculty-led corrective videos. These resources are designed to reinforce learning and provide visual feedback on areas needing improvement. Parents also receive "athlete learning updates," keeping them informed about the skills and techniques being taught at our clinics. This ensures that learning extends beyond the field, involving families in the developmental journey of their athletes.
