Dave Adam's Student Success Stories

Nate Jones

Gene Jones knew his son, Nate, had a world of athletic talent and could become a top-level pitcher at the scholastic level. And Gene also knew that he and his son had a hard time communicating when it came to pitching. [Read More].

Matt Trainor

Brian Trainor knew a few years ago that his son, Matt, had a passion for baseball. "He's a kid that only likes baseball," Brian Trainor said. "So I told him that if baseball is what he likes then he ought to get some advanced instruction. Matt and I could play catch all day long but I couldn't really teach him the fundamentals of how to pitch." [Read More].

Tim Welch

The numbers would suggest that left-handed pitcher Tim Welch was happy with his junior season at Portsmouth High. Welch, after all, finished 5-0 with an earned run average below 2.00. Not bad, right? Well, not exactly. [Read More].

Chris Anderson

Chris Anderson had plenty of ability as a left-handed pitcher when he was entering Portsmouth High as a 14-year-old freshman. But there was one major flaw on the mound for Anderson. "I was a thrower, not a pitcher, and I had a tough time with my control," Anderson recalled. [Read More].

Jordan Bean

Take a look at Jordan Bean's numbers and it's not hard to imagine why Portsmouth rolled through the New Hampshire Little League state tournament and into the New England regional tournament beginning Aug. 6 in Bristol, Connecticut. [Read More].

Rosa Drummond

Ted Drummond knew his daughter, Rosa, was ahead of other kids her age athletically when he took his family on a vacation to Florida in the winter of 2002. Rosa had earned a black belt in karate a year earlier at the age of nine and was a budding basketball player. [Read More].

Jordan Foose

Jordan Foose wasn't sure if he was going to graduate from high school. Baseball, the game Foose loves, suddenly wasn't easy anymore because the hard throwing pitcher had problems throwing his fastball for strikes. Foose's problems weren't only on the field as he was dealing with some personal issues and academic troubles at school. [Read More].

Ben Hart

Ben Hart has loved the game of baseball since he was a kid growing up in Portsmouth, N.H. And he had enough talent to make the varsity team for Portsmouth High as a freshman pitcher. [Read More].

John Mulvey

Jim Mulvey knew that his 12-year-old son, John, had the talent to excel as a Little League pitcher. But although Jim knew the game of baseball he admits he has a basketball mind, a sport he played in college and now coaches at the AAU level. [Read More].

Our Three Objectives:

1. Improve Performance
2. Reduce the risk of injury
3. Have fun

To improve performance, you have to increase sport specific strength, speed, endurance, flexibility, and power. To reduce risk of injury we are sure to always warm up and stretch before we engage in any activity. We will also closely monitor hitting and throwing mechanics. We are proud to be in a quality facility where we can long toss to improve arm strength and take infield on a regulation baseball field. Boys in the young age group can play simulated games using flexi balls.

Preparation will lead to success!

We are proud to be in our fourth year in helping young baseball players improve performance both on and off the baseball field. We will continue to try and provide the very best possible instruction in New England. We love the game and will continue to promote our players to new levels each year.

Champions are made in the off-season!

Learn pitching and hitting from a ten year pro player. Each two hour clinic or 1 hour one-on-one lesson will help the student put the mental side of baseball together with the physical side. We will make the game easier by learning the proper fundamentals while using the proper mechanics. Lessons include video analysis of pitching mechanics to insure maximum performance.
