Today's show is dedicated to the Godfather, you can call him the grandfather
of Vision Training, a great person, teacher, father, he was a master of his
craft when people were afraid to delve into vision in baseball over 45 years
ago, the years of the Kansas City Baseball Academy, Dr. Bill Harrison who
recently passed away on May 4th after a long battle with cancer, that was a
sad day for all of us and he was a fighter. He will never be forgotten and
his Son Ryan Harrison who has been with him for so many years will keep up
his legacy, Ryan will be on the show.Ryan Harrison, has a degree in Exercise Physiology from University of
