As baseball and softball instructors having spent many years playing, coaching, and teaching in this great game, we understand first-hand how challenging these skills can be to master. With that said, we believe that baseball and softball are games played first and foremost for enjoyment. Deeply embedded in the local baseball community, to the extent we not only teach, but coach at the high school & college level. Also, Coach Mikenas is a member of the 8-time Minnesota State Amateur Baseball Champion - Minnetonka Millers. Accordingly, students are provided ample opportunity to learn and develop their talents and skills in a controlled environment designed to be positive, constructive, and encouraging. Nurturing this growth requires patience... we believe in focused effort and hard work, while the student is actively engaged in the learning process. The reality is very few kids will play collegiately and even fewer will make it to the big leagues. However, having a solid work ethic, ability to make adjustments, learning to fail productively, mental toughness and becoming a student of the game are all qualities that will take a player as far as their abilities will allow. But more importantly, these habits will allow students to make it in the real big leagues – life. Here is a bit more about the individuals who make PTA unique: |
