Testimonials

"704 Sports Academy helped me mentally go out and compete against some of the best Division l players in the country. Physically, they put me in a place that I wanted to be in and helped me reach my full potential. Pitching instructor Evan Wise is a genius, guru, and wizard all in one. He is a great person and an even better coach! Love and respect for 704!"

"I’ve been at 704 for just over 2 years, and I’m glad to call it home.  I’ve developed my swing and body using expert-level training equipment daily and benefit from one-on-one training with owner Wes Lawing.  There’s plenty of space to work on different things, and the environment is ideal for focused and productive training.  Whether it’s on the mound, at the plate, or in the field, 704 is the place to improve your performance."

"Working with Weston has had a profound impact on me, both as a player and as a person. I started working with him around 2 years ago. At that point, I was told I was a pitcher only, and I started hitting with him so I could get ready for school ball, because I knew I was going to have to hit. And once I started hitting with him, I experienced huge jumps in my swing, exit velocities, and many other numbers. After I began taking swings at camps during the fall and winter, I knew I had the potential and started to get recruited as a hitter. He has done so much for me in every aspect of the game, and I am super thankful God put him in my corner."

"During my sophomore year at Gaston College, I spent a full year training at 704 Sports Academy, and I’ve never been around a group of coaches who truly understood the mechanics of a baseball swing and how to get your body into the right positions. I was at 704 almost five days a week, and every session left me with a quiet confidence I hadn’t felt before. Wes’s instruction on the physical side of hitting was outstanding, but what stood out even more was the mental approach and experiences he shared with me. As someone who played Division I baseball and struggled at that level, Wes helped me rediscover my confidence, and I’ll always be grateful for that. The people at 704 are some of the most genuine and down-to-earth I’ve met. My time at 704 Sports Academy was honestly the best experience I’ve ever had at any sports facility."
