Hey, I'm Coach Mike Stephenson, and I started Stephenson Baseball & Softball Academy because I love seeing kids light up when the game starts to click for them. Baseball and softball have been a huge part of my life, and now I get to pass that passion on to the next generation here in Springfield. Around here, we keep it simple work hard, have fun, and believe in yourself. I use the Cross the Seams Training System to teach players how to move better, think sharper, and play with confidence. At the end of the day, I'm not just trying to build better ballplayersI'm helping shape young people who love the game and believe they can do great things. With four years of coaching experience and over 50 athletes trained, I've seen firsthand how the right instruction combined with encouragement can transform a player's entire approach to the game. Every session at the academy is designed to help your child not just improve their skills, but develop the character and confidence that will serve them well beyond the diamond.
