This is for anyone who wants to get a stronger foundation on the fundamentals of catching.

Age and skill don't matter - the best coaches can teach across all levels.

If you think you're too advanced for this...

I'll often see "advanced" high school players who have never taken the time to really break down their movement patterns, so this is a great option for them too.

And the best players in the world are obsessed with the basics. 

If you think you're too advanced to focus on the "boring" fundamentals, we likely aren't a good fit.

My name is Anj Bourgeois, or "Coach Bougie."

After playing infield my whole life, I converted to catcher my Junior year of college at a DII level.

As a result, I learned the position in and out, up and down... because I had to.

After finishing playing, I've helped coach hundreds of catcher at catching camps in Southern California and learned how to articulate the position in a clear way.

You absolutely do not have to listen to me, but the content in the CatchCORE is how I'd start to learn the position if I had to do it again. 

Plus it has been revolutionary for the catchers who've gone through the program!

You'll learn so much throughout your experience in CatchCORE.

You'll learn the fundamentals of how to:

• Get into great stances
• Receive like a pro
• Block every ball
• Throw quicker

Plus, you'll learn how to journal, many mindset tools to help your game, and a greater understanding of the game as a whole!

Most catchers see significant changes in the first few days because their stance gets fixed! 

And they look like a completely different catcher. 

By the end of the program, you'll see significant improvement.

You'll have access to my daily coaching videos immediately when you join the program.

Within the course, you'll find a link to download another app we'll use to send videos back and forth in.

It's super easy and once you're inside the program it walks through every step you need to know.

The 1 hour group calls at at 6 pm PST on Wednesdays.

They are recorded in-case you miss them.

Not much at all! You can do it in the backyard, in the garage, or even in the living room :)

I had a father and son from Canada do it in the basement when there was 4 feet of snow on the ground outside!

It's actually pretty simple:

The best success stories are:

• Catchers hungry to work and grow
• Parents wanting to support them and spend quality time as they train

If you do the work every day, you'll grow without a doubt.

I have had a few clients who haven't gotten very impressive results. But unsurprisingly, they didn't do the work and didn't have great parent involvement.

The program works if you put in the work.

My suggestion: If you're the parent, make it an activity you do together. 

You press record to film. You toss the balls. And then you let them self-discover along the way.

If you're going out of town, there 2 options:

1. You can keep doing the work when you go out of town

It's only 15 min and all you need is your glove, your shinguards, and a ball, so it's easy to travel with.

I had a father and son sending me videos from Panama when they went on vacation

2. You can pause for however many days you're out of town

Then once you get back, pick right back up where you left off and keep on rolling.

This is best if you go camping and don't have any internet (or something similar).

--

I advocate for Option 1, continuing to practice every day because the daily reps are so important.

But either way, going out of town doesn't screw up the program at all.

One critical part of this program is reviewing the daily video feedback I'll send you. 

And in order to do that, you'll need my videos!

I do a pretty darn good job of getting everyone's videos back every day, normally doing them at night time or early in the morning the next day.

But if for some reason I don't get your video back on time, keep going with the next day and I'll give you feedback on both your videos when you're ready.

You'll follow a simple "Well, Better, How, Learn" journaling structure. 

Most people don't reflect on their performance.

And if they do reflect, they only reflect on the mistakes they made.

But do you think you'd play better if you reflected on what you did well? 

Yeah, you would.

So we find 3 things you did well that day, only one thing you want to get better at, and write down how you plan to get better at it tomorrow. Then we throw in a bonus of anything you learned that day.

One cool thing you'll see happen in the program is you'll see what you write down in "better" consistently show up in "well" within the next few days.

This gets me excited because it's PROOF they can get better at things.

And if you've read anything on a growth mindset, you know how powerful that singular belief can be: "I can get better when I practice."

You get lifetime access when you buy the course.

So that means once you buy the course, you'll have access forever. 

Plus, you'll get access to any additional upgrades I make. 

For example, CatchCORE is an update on the "4 Week Catching Fundamentals Challenge" and everyone who went through the 4 Week Challenge now have access to CatchCORE too.

You can do either.

Some people want the ease of buying the course without waiting to hop on a call with me.
