To whom it may concern, Mark Linden has been working with our 12 year-old All-Stars and the approach is exactly what these kids needed. It is a simple approach to all aspects of the game built on experience and taught with lots of energy and enthusiasm. The kids were applying what was being shown to them in their fielding drills right away and their hitting improved from day one. It is wonderful to watch these kids get better.
–Mark, League President & All-Stars Coach
Mark…you recently coached one of our practices for the team on which my son Joe (9) plays …Thanks for your efforts at practice! Your coaching style, enthusiasm and message were inspiring and energizing. In particular, your focus on fundamentals and simplifying the game registered clearly with both Joe and me…Thanks for your help! - Ron K
Hi T, I am sending this email to you in your capacity as (League) President... Will (11 yrs) has had several lessons with Mark and I think he is both a knowledgeable coach and a very positive person. He has been able to relate the mechanics of pitching and hitting in a way that Will (not always the most intuitive of students) could understand and always in an upbeat and affirmative manner. …from what I have seen…I would highly recommend any program that Mark was associated with. --- Dave B.
Mark has been coaching my son Taylor (13 yrs) in baseball for about a month. The instruction includes hitting and pitching. There is another side of baseball…the mental side. It’s easy for someone to say “just hit the ball, or throw a strike”. That is where Mark really stands out. He can see the whole picture. His teaching fundamentals are not written is stone. He has the ability to look to view one's natural movements and ability’s and come up with a game plan for that individual. There are no robotic mechanics with Mark.
He keeps it simple for the player. I am a baseball coach myself and I can honestly say that any baseball organization would be extremely lucky to be involved with Mark Linden. He would be an asset to any baseball league. --- James E
Having two boys that have played baseball since T-ball, I've experienced several camps and clinics... Mark Linden's…instruction is exceptional. The most important thing for me, as a coach and parent, is the simplicity! Mark doesn't over-analyze - he provides basic, fundamental instruction that makes it easy for any coach or player to take the game to a higher level. Highly recommended! - Dennis H.
Mark, Thank you for your time this evening in helping teach our All Stars the proper habits. As you could see the big boys (dads and coaches) were learning quite a bit as well. My son Austin came home with a new look on how to do things... Thanks again. - Greg F., Youth Coach
Mark…is full of energy and enthusiasm for the game and imparts that to the kids. Mark has taught them more than just the physical aspects of the game, which he has been excellent at, but he’s also been able to communicate with them on their level and teach them nuances of Baseball that they’ve never understood before, and it’s made them not only better Baseball players but better and more mature young men. - Tom Y, MD
Mark, Thank you again for your time, and stellar efforts with the kids and coaches at the clinic…I know that Joe (son) and I both benefited greatly, and really enjoyed it. …Keep up the great work! Thanks again, - Dave & Joe E
Mark Linden has done a great job instructing my 13 year old son Nick. Mark is energetic, knowledgeable, and positive in his instruction. After just a couple of workouts Nick has improved his pitching mechanics and he is swinging better than he ever has. Mark has also helped Nick to relax and have more fun playing the game.

Mark, My boys (9 & 11 yrs) look forward to each session... Weather it is working with their hitting or pitching, you have a great sense and awareness for each players’ ability and in helping them understand what is being taught…Both boys have advanced greatly while working with you. They hit and pitch with so much more confidence…many other players and coaches are seeing the improvements… - Coach Mark, Father of two baseball players
Mark - Thanks so much for coming to practice Monday - it was really worthwhile to have your knowledge and ideas and to have the kids hear a positive, well informed voice.
- Thanks Again! Eric C.
Mark: Thanks again for the time you spent with our all stars. I came away with a plethora of insights and drills. You clearly know your stuff and communicate it in a way that connects with the kids (and coaches, too). - Greg W
