Thirteen years ago, he started with a $20 entrepreneurial challenge, renting a training space for a single athlete. Today, Silver Sluggers is Madison, Wisconsin’s premier baseball academy, supporting 13 travel teams, 50 fall league teams, and hosting over 60 training hours a week. When Brad returned to Upper Hand in 2016, the impact on his academy was game-changing: 1. Time Saved: Upper Hand’s scheduling and payments have cut admin work by 3-4 hours weekly, letting coaches focus more on training. 2. Easy Client Experience: Upper Hand’s streamlined registration has driven an 85-90% retention rate. Athletes and parents handle registrations independently, saving time for all. 3. Flexibility During COVID: When COVID shut down one facility, Silver Sluggers seamlessly pivoted to online training in just 10 days, thanks to Upper Hand’s adaptable platform.
