Teaches Baseball Pitching based on body type and natural throwing tendencies stressing rhythm and balance plus the mechanics of explosive power.  All pitchers will learn at least five pitches directly off of the fastball delivery.
 
Teaches Softball Pitching based on natural tendencies stressing rhythm and staying on plane with a base of releasing directly behind the ball.  All pitchers will learn a drop, rise, screwball, and an offspeed pitch of some kind.
 
Teaches Hitting based on natural tendencies and will employ a combination of rotational hitting with linear hitting to best fit the athlete.  Softball hitters will be taught how to hit without a stride and all how to slap and bunt for a basehit.  Terry's method is easy to learn with hands staying inside the ball and barrel of the bat staying squarely behind the path of the ball in order to drive most pitches to the appropriate field depending on pitch location.
 
Teaches Fielding mechanics stressing the importance of "hitchless" glove mechanics combined with proper and efficient footwork, transitioning to throwing mechanics from various angles depending on the play required.
 
Played college baseball at Air Force Academy
Pitched batting practice for the Kansas City Royals in 1981
Spent 10 days in Spring Training building an inventory of digital film clips of over a hundred professional players executing hitting, pitching and defensive skills all over the field in practice and game action.
