Get to know Coach Ben
About Me:
My name is Ben, and I'm originally from Minnesota, but moved to Colorado at a young age. I was able to graduate from high school ion Denver then travel to Washington state for college. I'm a huge sports fan and stay loyal to all Minnesota Sports teams!
How I can help you improve your game:
I have had the opportunity to work with many different age ranges and find success with different skill levels. Baseball is a difficult game not only physically, but mentally as well. I push to elevate both the physical and mental skills that are required to find consistency within this game.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
We would start with a stretching and warm up session. We would then immediately start to loosen our arms and play catch. Once we are all warmed up, we would specialize in either ground balls with infielders, or fly balls with outfielders. After each drill we would discuss what we did well and what we could work on. This would lead into a hiring session where we spend time on the tee, in soft toss, and then eventual live pitching to complete the progression. Every practice is ended with a discussion about certain skills the team or individuals should remember moving forward.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations from Washington State University.
I also have a Minor in Sports Management from Washington State University.
4 years of coaching experience within different skill levels
Best coach I ever had:
Best Coach I ever had was my dad. I probably didn't feel like it in the moment, but looking back he was the person who pushed me to be the best player possible.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a coach that will never say no to a player if they want to try something new. I will be sure to be honest with the players and their families about my assessments. I only want the players to love this game more after working with me, a good coach goes a long ways in a young players life and I want to strive to be that coach for everyone.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
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.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
