"Fundamentals are the key to mastering any sport. Not only do they help you become a great player, but they also make you more able to learn new skills and talents. Mike Skogen has taught me all of the fundamentals I know, concerning baseball and softball that has made me into the player that I am today. Whether it is from throwing to catching, or from bunting to hitting, Mike has made me become advanced in these areas with repetition, consistency, and hard work. Every athlete knows that excellence is done by fixing your mistakes. During a drill or during practice, Mike won’t be afraid to tell you what you are doing wrong, and how to fix your mistake. I have learned a lot from Mike over the years and I wouldn’t have been able to achieve any of my accomplishments if it weren’t for him."

“I met Mike when he was with NDSU during a baseball camp several years ago. Mike is a great communicator and educator of baseball fundamentals. His experience and desire to teach kids and parents, shows at every practice I have attended with my kids. I would recommend Mike to anyone interested in learning the game of baseball.”
Chad Hesla- VFW 16U Coach- Webster, SD
"Having Coach Skogen come do a baseball camp for our high school kids was
the best thing we have ever done! He really loves the game and it
shows the minute he walks on the field. He is willing to work on
anything you feel needs to be touched on. Mike really gets the
attention of the kids and works very hard to coach each and every player on a
one to one basis. I feel that is the best thing about his camp
and he made sure that happened to the best of his abilities. I will
have him back as soon as possible as it is very worth the money!"
