Howard Kobata - Good Stuff

So I've heard a ton about Howard Kobata. I've been to his website and watched the short video clips too. But, this weekend, I finally got to meet him in person and see him do a clinic. He covered some good stuff!

It was interesting to me because a lot of what he talked about makes sense. There's quite a bit that I do, but never saw taught. It's another eye opener about how I, as a coach, overlook some things that need to be taught. Since they were not taught to it doesn't dawn on me that some players need to have such things explained.

Anyway, I loved the concepts he presented to the kids. I could see that there was a TON covered in a short period of time. I can also see why players would sign up for lessons vs just go to a clinic with him. I don't think even I was able to soak up everything that was covered in just that one session. I liked being at the clinic because it gave me a better idea of how to TEACH better skills to the players I work with, and, of course, to my own daughter. I only wish I was able to jump in with the girls.

At any rate, Howard, if you're ever back in town for a clinic or, if and when you start giving lessons in Hawaii, I'll be there.
