Even though Cade’s leg was hurting…

…and Coach Randy was down and out because it looked like Cade was not going to be able to pitch, we got to the bottom of the 6th inning holding onto 1 run lead. Randy asked Cade if he could get the batter out for him. Cade’s eyes lit up and said “Yes, let me…

Education just isn’t in the classroom

An education is taught in the classroom that results in the understanding of a subject matter. This requires an instructor to teach, chalk board to demonstrate the theory, and practice exercises in the class room to gain confidence. Skills are taught, developed, and retained over a period of time. This applies to any academic or…

My son, China McCarney, was fortunate enough…

…to start working with Jim Wagner on a regular basis in 9th grade.His velocity, arm strength and endurance training helped him realize his physical potential as a player and prospect.Through regular weekly workouts all through high school, China went from a low 70′s guy as a freshman to 94 mph in his senior year. Jim’s…

There’s not a more conscientious Pitching Instructor in Southern California.

From his generous and supportive approach, to his relentless pursuit of the most cutting edge training and arm care protocols, Jim Wagner is exceptional in every way. He helped my son become a more athletic and explosive pitcher, all the while encouraging his love for the game. Beyond all of this, he gave my son…

Jim, I know that if it weren’t for you…

…and your commitment to both Theo and Bobby, they would not have had the successes that they’ve enjoyed over the years. From day one at Meadow’s Park, I’ve always trusted you and believed in what you do. We (Santa Clarita) are very lucky and fortunate to have you looking out for our young pitchers. Continued…

Just a short note to say thank you so much…

…for the great camp. It is a tribute to you and your staff to see my son come home each day, more excited about the game of baseball, and self improvement. Frankly, I am amazed at how you can get them to embrace the drills and exercises in such a competitive manner. For three days,…

I enjoyed the entire camp…

…but specifically I really enjoyed the video analysis and the hip mobility circuit. I highly recommend coming to the boot camp because the instructors really do know what they are talking about and I got way more then I expected to get out of it.Tyler Sprague

We would like to thank you…

…for all the work you put in to make this camp happen for these boys! It was outstanding! We’ve been wanting to send Kyle to this event in Texas, but have not been able to. Thank you so much for finding a way to bring these coaches to Santa Clarita! Kyle learned so much. Thanks…

Thanks for putting on such a fantastic camp.

It was very well organized, and the wealth of information that Ron and Brent brought to the table was truly mind-boggling. It was definitely worth the long drive up to Santa Clarita (the drive home was actually a very quick 2 hours!!), and I know that Jonathan got a lot out of it. I’ve tried…

You ran a terrific camp.

As you know, we recently sent my son Hunter to a boot camp at Ron’s baseball ranch in Texas and I have a Ron Wolforth DVD collection which I have viewed many times, but I had never seen Ron teach in person until this past weekend. What a treat! Both he and Brent Strom make…

I was thoroughly satisfied with the camp.

The personalities of the two leaders were memorable and entertaining at the same time. The fact that you had older pitchers at the camp were very motivating to Jack as well. He has a tremendous base of knowledge to work from in an effort to realize his potential going forward.I would say that the biggest…

Thank you for setting up this camp,

I believe it was in my opinion one of the Top five that John has attended. It was very personal and informative, Brent and Ron were outstanding in there interaction with the young men! I even picked up a few things…. I want to thank you for throwing a good word in for John with…

We just wanted to thank you…

…and tell you how impressed and happy we are with what you have been doing for Hayden on the mound. He has been able to do more than improve his pitch, accuracy and speed. He gained his confidence and self esteem back which was distracting him.-Kassie Devollmother of 11 year son, Hayden

Prior to linking up with Jim…

…at TZAcademy I was dealing with a pinch in my right bicep tendon (front of shoulder) …after just 3 weeks of training new movement patterns using revolutionary drill work, I was not only throwing without discomfort but now throwing with more velocity. I was 90 – 93 mph prior and for the first time in…

Thanks from a lefty!

Years ago at the age of 5, My son Timothy developed a great love for baseball and then pitching as a lefty. I saw the dedication and hard work he was willing to put into the game even at a young age, we were so lucky to have stumbled upon Jim Wagner, the owner of…
