Jerrad is recognized as one of the top hitting instructors in the country - having consulted with numerous top DI softball programs, countless college athletes, and professional baseball players. He shares his knowledge through his private lesson work at his Omaha facility, University In-Services, and his camp work. What sets him apart is not only his deep understanding of how great hitters succeed, but his ability to teach and communicate. 

 

Currently, Jerrad has succesfully started implementing his hitting seminars within his widely-popular Elite Camps, which features 12-15 college coaches from different levels from DI National Champions to the most popular local schools. These camps provide athletes the opportunity to work with the best coaches in the game in a framework that allows athletes to improve and be noticed by college coaches.
