| "Marc, through
his outstanding knowledge of the basic fundamentals of the game, is a must
see at clinics for coaches and players. I believe that if I would have
had more of the basic fundamentals that Marc teaches at the beginning of
my career, I would have been a better player."

" Marc Shoenfelt of B2B baseball
ran the best coaching clinic that I have ever had the privilege of
attending. I have attended clinics by MLB players, ex MLB players, MLB
coaches, college coaches, high school coaches and many other experts in
baseball. I would recommend Marc and B2B baseball to anyone. We brought
Marc in to run a clinic for our coaches. The clinic provided the coaches
with the knowledge of skills and drills, and methods of role modeling that
should ensure their success. The lessons can be applied to every level
of baseball from tee-ball to high school. It is just two days after the
clinic and I am requesting Marc to run another clinic for us next year.

organizations in the world.
"When I got home last night from
the clinic, my wife and kids had just got back. They went to get some groceries
and my daughter, Sophia, her first baseball glove. She was so excited.
She is 5 and will be playing t-ball this year. When I pulled into the driveway
she came running out of the house with her glove, yelling "Can we go hit
some baseballs!?". I took her and her 7 year old brother down to the local
ball field. We only had about 45 minutes until it would be too dark to
see. In that 45 minutes I had them both throwing the ball 100% better than
they did the day before using your methods. At the plate, I wasn't sure
how much of the stance I should really teach a 5 year old, but I tried
anyway. In about 10 minutes, I had her making sure she had her "knocking
knuckles" lined up correctly and that she had her hands and bat back by
her back shoulder. That alone produced more power in her hitting.
You were 100% right when you said not to doubt what they can learn.
I have a re-newed excitement for the game to be able to help kids really
learn the basics of baseball over the next 10 years."
Brad, Union City Little League
"We decided to make the B2B
coaching clinic mandatory for all of our coaches. As you can imagine, as
a completely volunteer organization, this was met with some disapproval.
Fifteen minutes into the clinic every single coach was on the edge of their
seats, taking notes and trying to digest every word that came out of Marc's
mouth. At the end of our four hour clinic it was unanimous that we would
be booking a second clinic with B2B.
I want to take this opportunity
to apologize to Marc...I think he stood around in the parking lot for at
least another hour answering questions and giving suggestions for free.
Marc, please feel free to add an hour question and answer period to our
next clinic."

What a privilege it was to have Marc
instruct our coaches this past Saturday! His knowledge and presentation
skills are phenomenal. I believe that he was extremely effective
in communicating pertinent baseball information that our coaches will be
able to use in equipping our kids. Marc was able to convey his techniques
through demonstrations and verbal examples which I’m certain will have
a lasting impression. If the coaches forget or have questions, they
can quickly reference his fantastic book and DVD! We look forward
to having Marc back for additional sessions in the future. Keep up
the great work!

Vice President

"Marc combines rock solid baseball
knowledge with the ability to teach it to other people, all the way from
the newest player to the veteran coach. Marc's enthusiasm, energy
and sense of humor appeal to every audience. Penn Manor Little League
players and coaches have benefited tremendously from Marc's expertise --
by conducting more focused practices, warming up properly, and diagnosing
throwing and hitting problems -- all of which lead to better player development
and better fun for everyone."
Terri Shuman, former
PMLL President
"I think the most important aspect
of B2B clinics is the enthusiasm which is brought to the table. I have
watched many clinics and tapes on instruction. More often than not an instructor
stands there reciting dialogue. B2B baseball provides an interaction between
the audience and the instructor. I believe this comes from Marc's dynamic
personality and his skills acquired as a teacher. He understands you must
get to the audience and he does that well with his down to earth, straight
forward approach. Anyone from T-ball coach to High School coach can understand
and benefit from his clinics."
Dave Thomas, President
of Solanco Little League
"Marc is fantastic! His unique blend
of baseball experience & teaching background make him an extremely
effective instructor. He communicates in a practical and enjoyable manner.
He skillfully adjusts his instructions to the level of his audience - youth
player, advanced player, coach - it does not matter - Marc makes it fun
to learn the game. I was so impressed with his individual instruction of
my son, I sponsored him to present coaching clinics for our Little League.
He was a hit!"
Joe
baseball parent & coach
"My nine year old son took individual
baseball lessons with Marc. Marc has the complete baseball trainer package
to bring to our youth. Marc has the keen ability to combine his teaching
skills from the classroom with his knack for breaking down the fundamentals
of baseball in a fun and positive way. The results of this show in the
tremendous improvement in the player's skill and by the smile on their
face.!"
Bob - Father, Youth Coach,
and former Collegiate Player
"Marc teaches the game of baseball
using terms that children understand and can relate to."
Shane, a professional
baseball scout
"Having sat through the clinics,
I cannot say enough about Marc's knowledge and ability to convey that knowledge
in an interesting way. He brings plenty of real-life anecdotes to
illustrate his points as well as to interject humor into the lesson. We
have retained him again for this season and I look forward to working with
him."
Dave, Youth League President
“ B2B Baseball develops players at
the grass roots level, the old fashion way of getting back to the basics.
Marc Shoenfelt makes learning the game fun again"
Harry Hillson, Head Baseball
Coach Mansfield University

350th, 400th and 500th victories faster than any collegiate coach in Pennsylvania

"Marc has done our coaching clinics
and the feedback from managers and coaches has been excellent. Marc has
been willing to share his wealth of ideas to help us to improve and expand
our training and development programs. I especially like the concerns Marc
exhibits where safety issues are a factor . Marc teaches the proper techniques
to ensure that our players know not only the fundamentals of baseball,
but how to properly stretch and warm-up, care for their arms, etc. I highly
recommend Marc Shoenfelt and B2B Baseball."
Al Roberts

"As a parent, I saw my son's
ability to read the pitch well, with few strike-outs. However, he
was unable to hit the ball with power for consistent base hits.
I was fortunate to find Marc Shoenfelt
through a mutual acquaintance who also coaches high school baseball.
Marc's patience, consistent work and positive attitude has turned my son's
hitting into a successful year. As a varsity player, he was moved
into the #3 or #4 batting position. My son is looking forward to
working with Marc again and being challenged to improve even more for this
season."
