"Since Manu started training with Coach Isaac, the transformation has been night and day. He’s developed into an All-Star catcher, and the difference in his skills and confidence is unbelievable. Manu regularly plays up an age level, often competing with and against kids two years older than him—and yet he’s his team’s number one catcher. What has stood out to us most is not only the physical development, but also the mental side of the game. Coach Isaac has given Manu a level of confidence he’s never had before, teaching him how to think like a catcher and approach the game with composure. As parents, we’ve seen such a positive change in Manu both on and off the field, and we can’t thank Coach Isaac enough for the role he’s played in our son’s growth.
