Biography
Coach George
Coach George was a member of the United States Marine Corp throughout the1980’s before becoming an executive in the private sector. In the mid 1990’s he began service with the U.S. Foreign Service, working in many Embassies around the globe.
In his free time, Coach George has coached or played baseball, as a pitcher, shortstop, and center fielder. For the past four years Coach George has been involved as a coach with Kuwait Little League Baseball (Minors/Majors/Juniors/Seniors Divisions), Girls Softball, The Kuwait Little League National Team, League Pitching Coach, and the Bahrain School Baseball program. Coach George has and continues to sponsor various NPA/RDRBI programs for the Kuwait Little League, which includes pitching clinics, pitcher-specific practices, and individual lessons.
Coach George has been trained and certified by Dr. Tom House, widely regarded as "The Father of Modern Day Pitching Mechanics" of The National Pitching Association (NPA), and The Rod Dedeaux Research and Baseball Institute (RDRBI)
The National Pitching Association was formed by leading coaches, athletes and management teams to help pitchers of all ages safely develop to their fullest potential. In today's non-professional baseball programs, (youth, Little League, College, etc.) too many pitchers get injured thus limiting their opportunity to continue playing baseball. Many times the desire to win has superseded what is best for a young athlete's development and future potential. This combined with general misinformation about what is good, better, or best for the development of young pitchers has seriously impaired or injured pitchers beyond rehabilitation.
The Rod Dedeaux Research and Baseball Institute brings together leaders from the medical science community and the sports training community. Through their joint efforts, the RDRBI helps athletes achieve greater core strength, less risk of injury, and overall higher performance. Our belief is that, by teaching not only athletes but also their parents and coaches, we can set the groundwork for a lifetime of athletic success and health.
For the most part, arm injuries are largely preventable if pitch totals are managed properly, the player utilizes correct throwing mechanics, and has the necessary core strength base established. Coach George will introduce the essentials of proper arm care and effectively help each player improve his game performance.
Coach George’s aspires to provide players with the essential tools for becoming more successful in order to attain their peak athletic ability.
