ANTHONY IOPACE

Brad has been my son's hitting instructor since middle school and now playing ball in college he still my son's hitting instructor. He has a relationship with Brad that I can't really even put into words he's just amazing and he's been more than just a hitting instructor he's been a great friend and a mentor.

Simply put, Brad is a major reason my son is playing baseball on scholarship at one of the top D2 programs in the country. His tireless work ethic and passion for his trade is unmatched. Thank you Brad!
DOUG GORDON
Player - Kenneth Gordon Flagler College
Our sons High School career consisted of 2015 All Conference and 2016 All County awards. He is now fulfilling his dream to play college baseball and was named the 2017 GNAC Rookie of the Year. Brad is and has been our sons fielding and hitting instructor, mentor and friend for nearly 10 years. His dedication on and off the training field is unmeasurable. Brad now trains our youngest daughter and within a years time he has taken her from the awkwardness of her first throw and swing to now playing for an elite travel softball team. He has the gift of instilling confidence and work ethics that promote results. Thank you Brad!
JOANNE MARACIC
Player - Joseph Maracic Johnson & Wales Unviversity Player - Jade Maracic Pride Organization
I've been hitting with Brad for 8 years now and have never met a guy with as much knowledge of a swing. His teaching style makes hitting fun and easy and leads directly to great results on the field.
JACK MCCARTY
Molloy College
I have been working with Brad for almost 12 years now and each year my progress has been significantly better, always moving forward and focusing on different weaknesses. Brad has never said a negative word about my playing, he is a constant encouragement off the field and always pushes you to see beyond potential which is crucial in an athletic environment. Brad has always run a serious program with high goals set for each and every person he trains, including me. He's helped me reach goals that many can not reach before they graduate, that I was able to achieve before my senior year. His new facility is equipped with everything needed for success and I can't wait to see what's in store for all of his clients this year, including myself.
LYNDSEY SHAW
Hofstra University
Brad Jackson has been working with my son Sean since he was in little league. My son is 16 years old now and lead his high school and travel teams in batting last year. Brad is patient, positive and is the most knowledgeable hitting instructor that we have come across. We tried a few other instructors to see who else is out there and we always come back to Brad. He is great with kids of all ages and his new facility is top notch. Brad is not only a great hitting instructor, he is one of the best people that you will ever meet. I highly recommend Brad Jackson to help take your child to the next level in baseball and in life.

TEAM TESTIMONIALS
This was the 4th consecutive year the South Shore Chiefs 13U East team has been doing our winter workouts at Max Effort. Jack and the other trainers have done a tremendous job getting our team ready to hit the field this Spring. Looking forward to seeing all the hard work this winter pay off on the field. Big thank you to Jack and the rest of the staff at Max Effort.
KEITH PIGNETTI
Coach South Shore Chiefs 13U East
This past weekend our ladies had their final workout at Max Effort. For the last several years, the entire staff at Max Effort, from top to bottom, has helped take our ladies to the next level, each weekend committed to excellence. On behalf of our team, we would like to say a huge thank you to Brad and all the coaches and trainers!
SAL MICCIO
Head Coach 18U Blue Fire
Brad and the trainers at Max Effort provided our team with a great training regimen for our Winter workouts. From the first day of workouts to the last, the Max Effort team challenged our players to not only become better softball players but better athletes as well. We have no doubt that our training at Max Effort has better prepared the players both physically and mentally for the high level competition our players will be facing in our upcoming travel season. Thank you to all at Max Effort!
AL GARGIULO
Manager Intensity 16U
The coaches maximized every minute we had each week with a team of 12 fielding, hitting and pitching. We believe the team will be in mid-season form as we go outside to start the season. Big call out to weeks 7-10 when our team went live Vs each other in the cage. Huge asset to have the space at Max Effort to have our pitchers throw vs our hitters.
BRYAN GALLIGAN
Head Coach Merrick Mayhem 9U
Brad, on behalf of the Island Trees Bulldogs 10U team, I want to thank you, Sal, John, and Mike for a fantastic job that Max Effort did with our team. Each and every week, our players were excited for training and enthusiastic to get started. Between sessions throughout the week, I continuously heard the boys chat up Max Effort. It was clear that it was due to the connection the trainers made with each player as well as the improvement of each individual’s skillset. The proof is when each player can see their own improvement. The Max Effort facility is top notch too. Our players were able to hit, pitch, and field due to the large space all while in small groups due to the low instructor/player ratio. They also worked with a variety of technical devices to help improve their skills. As their coach, I can’t wait for their skills to translate over to games. We will certainly be back next year and several of our players elected to continue with your staff. This is a testament to you and your staff. Thanks again.
RUSS HEIGEL
Manager Island Trees Bulldogs 10U (Winter 2018)

The Camelot Knights have been working with Max Effort Owner Brad Jackson for the past 3 years. Under his guidance and training, our players have played on some of the biggest youth stages on a local, regional and national level. His staff of professional trainers (Joe Proscia, Sal Sanquini, Anthony Martelli, and Tim Ingram) – are absolutely top notch and have a tremendous amount of pro level experience; that they teach to our young and upcoming athletes. The Knights organization looks forward to working with Max Effort Baseball and continuing to see our program go the next level.

Another great winter clinic with Max Effort!! My coaching staff and I trust in the training of our boys with their training staff. JP, James, and Tom did an outstanding job developing the boys for the baseball season! They were professional, easy to speak to, and recognized the boys' strengths and opportunities. They catered to what they needed to work on. Thumbs up to them. Thanks again!

Tipping my cap to the Max Effort Coaches, Trainers and Staff. You guys were always prepared with a plan and approach every session. Most importantly- you were able to gain the trust of this young group of kids which made them hungry to learn and put in that work!! We were super excited when we went live pitching (kids vs kids)- the young men enjoyed that preseason competitive matchups!!
PEDRO SANCHEZ

The Hicksville Hurricanes would like to salute the Max Effort trainers & staff for an outstanding winter workouts, especially the trainers they take there time to teach & correct the boys, Max Effort definitely goes above and beyond.
OZZIE LUNA
Head Coach Hicksville Hurricanes 10U
The East Meadow Mustangs would like to thank Max Effort for a very successful winter workout. From the coaches to the facility the program was excellent. The coaches used drills that were challenging but fun at the same time to keep the boys locked in. Can’t wait to see what the do when they get out on the field. We will definitely look to train with MXE next winter.
