Six1Five Instructors
Popcorn (Charles) Thompson - Baseball Hitting & Fielding Instructor
Popcorn (Charles) Thompson is one of the premier instructors in Middle Tennessee. After a successful local high school baseball career, he went on to play four years of college baseball at Trevecca Nazarene University in Nashville, Tn. Where he was a four year starter, set ten (10) career and single season offensive records, and was inducted into the TNU Athletic Hall Of Fame in 2003. Since his college playing days he has been an assistant college baseball coach, a high school baseball coach, and coached his sons through youth baseball. Currently, I am a full-time personal batting instructor. Coach Popcorn believes if you have a passion for the game, a successful playing experience, and surround yourself with great baseball minds, you can become a very good baseball player, coach, or instructor. Not everyone is born with the exceptional physical talent to become a professional baseball player, but if you work hard and become a student of the game, you will become the best that you can be. And isn't that the goal - to be the best that you can be!
