From Joliet, IL. Been playing baseball since I was 4 years old. Played at St.Joes in Joliet, which at the time was the biggest baseball organization in the Joliet area. For high school I played for the Cangelosi Sparks. I have always had an act for wanting to be the person to help out my teammates with pitch grips, mechanics, or just about everything in general. Which has led me to having a passion for coaching.
I can help improve your game by making sure the fundamentals are solid. My analogy I use is that houses are always build with concrete, wood, and screws. Just up to you the player to design it how ever you want after that.
Every session begins with a dynamic warm to make sure we are warmed up properly to throw, then a detailed band routine, (If the player is 13 years or older) start a foundational plyo ball routine, then start throwing with any necessary drills, mound work, Post throwing routine.
3 year varsity starter for Joliet Catholic Academy, 5 years of Division 1 baseball, Short stint with the Joliet Slammers.

Coach Mark Allen. He preached about passion, integrity, and the will to be successful when being a pitcher. There are not enough words to describe why he is the best coach I ever had.
I am always willing to work with everyone to reach their highest potential and goals. The system I have developed from years of experience and learning about how the human body performs is important for working with me. I will always make sure the athletes are steered in the right direction.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
