My son has taken catcher and batting classes here and this week is attending a summer camp. He is learning a lot and the class sizes are small enough for each athlete to get some individualized attention.

The recent posts on this site are completely unsubstantiated and untrue, in our family's opinion. It appears that a number of them look do not originate from someone who has actually been part of the Dallas Redhawks organization. Only one person posting, as far as I can see from the names listed, is from a Redhawks family.The Dallas Redhawks baseball organization, which operates as part of the Momentum Training and Performance Center in Wylie, is owned and operated by Ernie and Terrie Cecil. Each of our three of our sons (18, 16 and 14) have played multiple seasons with the Redhawks. Two of our sons have played every year for the organization since the fall of 2012, for a total of 11 consecutive seasons. Ernie has coached many of these teams, as have several other coaches employed by the organization. Our overall experiences with the Redhawks have been highly positive over all these years. What we have witnessed and learned about is the exact opposite of statements made in recent negative reviews. Ernie and Terrie are two of the most generous and honorable people whom we know. With respect to money, I have personally known them countless times to take steps which help families financially. I know that the Cecils do not want to bring attention to their own generosity, and their actions in this regard are not only admirable but are quite unusual in the select baseball community, in our experience. Not only do they NOT place their focus on earning money from the players' fees and from additional lessons, but they often do not focus on money enough, in our family's opinion. They put the players and their experiences ahead of their own financial gain, and I have personally seen them do so multiple times. For instance, there have been many times over the past several years where the Cecils have been kind, and have allowed boys to play before their fees were paid in full. Then a family woiuld decide to leave a team, leaving the balance of their fees unpaid, despite their contractual obligations. This outcome was quite unfair and wrong for them to do and obviously left the Cecils in a tough financial position. Numerous times, I know that they have simply weathered the situation and chalked it up to one of life's bumps.In addition, I have NEVER known anyone at Momentum to encourage players to take extra lessons or participate in clinics simply so the business can make money. The Cecils often do just the opposite, discounting a program so a player can participate, or simply encouraging a player to get work in wherever he can, be that at Momentum or anywhere else, so that he grows and develops. I can personally attest that the Cecils focus on supporting players and helping them to improve their skills, not on the financial aspects of the business, often to their own monetary detriment. It is clear and evident to anyone who spends any significant time around this organization that the primary motivation undergirding their baseball/training business is a true Christian heart of service to the boys and their families. Words to the contrary evidently come from parents' disgruntlement and protectiveness of their children. To say that the Dallas Redhawks organization is all about making money, and not about developing players, is patently false. The word "materialistic" has never come to my mind with respect to how the Cecils run this organization. On top of all of this, I believe that the Cecils' general policy is that all high school Redhawks players can come in and use the facility when it is available for no cost. These players can use the Iron Mike or hit off the tees, come in and pitch or soft toss, work out on turf, and so forth, all for no extra fees. No owner who is focused solely on money would offer these opportunities to the players. (Continued in 2nd post) More...

(Continuation of Kris Ludwinski's post:) With respect to Ernie's coaching, I have personally heard him many times give players honest critiques and counsel them in a very effective and constructive fashion. Ernie is a capable and wonderful coach, one who genuinely cares about the boys and their families. Ernie's character is beyond reproach, and his evident reason for coaching is to guide and teach the players, not to make money. If you hang around Ernie enough, you will see this truth for yourself. It is often his job to make difficult choices with respect to keeping players, since select baseball does involve such choices, and I have seen him handle that aspect of the job with grace and compassion.Also, our experiences with Terrie Cecil have been overwhelmingly positive. Terrie personally puts in countless hours working for the success of the organization in a positive fashion, treating all whom she encounters with Christian charity and kindness. I have seen her regularly act in a selfless and caring manner, not focusing at all on money to be earned from baseball families. She in fact routinely does not focus enough on making sure people gparticipate. I have seen her go out of her way to make families and players feel comfortable and that they are an integral part of the Redhawks organization, sometimes even neglecting to charge us for lessons or classes, until we remind her to do so. She and Ernie demonstrate charitable and kind behavior that is the farthest from materialistic behavior as it can be. I am truly saddened to read allegations that the focus of the Redhawks organization is on making money. In our regular and close experience with the organization since 2012, nothing could be further from the truth.Additionally, our personal exposure with the owners' son, Tripp Cecil, who assists with coaching, helping out at the facility, and giving private lessons, has been stellar. Tripp is a quiet, calm, and encouraging young man. He has personally come alongside all three of my sons at various times, to help them improve their baseball skills, both those in the physical and mental realms. He is an excellent instructor, whose demeanor is anything but loud, angry, or abusive, and he has had a highly positive effect on all of my sons.Lastly, our experience with Ron Williams, personal trainer and nutritional expert at the facility, has been outstanding. Ron is one of the nicest people I have ever met, who reflects his Christian moral values in everything he does and says, and who treats each of my sons with the utmost professionalism, kindness, and support. I cannot speak glowingly enough about him as an asset to the Momentum Training Center, and I would highly recommend anyone to take a class or clinic from him. You will not be disappointed. He has personally assisted all of my boys in improving their strength, agility, and skills, and we have been so pleased by all of their encounters with Ron.In closing, let me add that all of us baseball parents have high hopes and expectations for our sons. We can get hurt when someone at an athletic organization does not give our son the playing time or the team contract we think and hope he deserves. My husband and I have been there more than one time with all of our three sons. As a mom, I can attest that this situation is especially challenging for us baseball moms. We react as mama bears regarding our boys, and it can be tempting to lash out at those who are doing or saying anything about our sons, even when it reflects current reality with respect to them. Often, in truth, we as parents are the ones who are more affected by these situations than our sons are, as we act out of protectiveness and love. I do not have all the answers and am certainly not perfect in this regard! Over the years, my husband and I have simply learned to do our best to approach such situations as learning ones, ones where we can help our sons grow and mature, even as we ourselves learn and develop through them. This is a tough road at times but overall one of growth. More...
