Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Jake
I am a former D1 catcher, outfielder, and pitcher. I played 5 years of D1 baseball 2 of them being at a top 25 program. I have been surrounded by MLB scouts my whole career and I know what makes players stand out. Unfortunately for me, I tore my UCL and got full reconstruction. Even though I got it fixed and made a comeback it wasn’t enough to fulfill my dream of playing professionally baseball. So why train with me, I have faced many ups and downs in my career. I want to provide what I learned to the youth to help them achieve their life long dream.

About Me:
George Mason University- Catcher and outfielder
Coastal Carolina University- Pitcher
How I can help you improve your game:
I gave private lessons to a kid who was 9 years old. He was series about playing and was always driven. Within my first couple lessons he ended up hitting his first homerun on the small field, as we continued to progress he made a 11u travel team, proceeded to hit 10 homeruns on the small field. That kid is now a freshman in high school playing varsity baseball.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depends on what positions the kids play. It will be casual bp session or pitching lessons.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have taught a couple kids in my lifetime. Unfortunately, I have never coached a team because I was always trying to make my performance better.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Gilmore- Coastal Carolina University
-Coach Gilley is a D1 hall of fame coach, he has been around the game forever and evolved with the game. He is one of the most genuine and sincere coaches I have ever played for, but when it was time to perform he was always in your ear. He always pushed to get the absolute best and will always have your back.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a very hard worker and I want to teach what I have learned over my years to the youth. I will make it my mission to help your child be the best version of themselves not only athletically but as a person. Coaches like good kids more than performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
