Pitching Prowess, One Step at a Time

As a coach, I have two simple jobs. First, is to prepare the minds of my players by teaching every aspect of the game I can while preparing their bodies to perform. The second is to ensure they enjoy the process of progress.

Get to know Coach Allen

About Me:

I have played baseball my whole life from the age of 5 until now. Despite receiving offers to play in college at the junior college and DIII level, I went to ASU on a full-ride academic scholarship.

After college, I picked up playing again for a men's league team, winning 4 championships and often competing against ex-college and professional talent.

How I can help you improve your game:

The best ability as a coach is to ensure their players understand the game from as many angles as possible, and that is what I pride myself on being able to do.

What a typical training session looks like with me:

While I believe there is no such thing as a "typical" session, you can expect stretching & band work as a warm-up, throwing, and then a bullpen. After a couple lessons, I can begin to build a more custom routine based upon the needs/wants of the athlete.

Career summary and accomplishments:

I have been fortunate to have coached at all levels from Little League to Varsity for over a decade. My greatest accomplishment as a coach is teaching my little brother how to pitch from the age of 7 and him recently receiving a scholarship to pitch for Mesa Community College.

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had was a man named Dean Hartgraves, who pitched professionally for the Houston Astros, Atlanta Braves, and San Francisco Giants in the mid 90s.

He enhanced my game by teaching me how to think about pitching at a higher level, and how each pitch/at-bat/inning flows into the next.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

My philosophy hinges on understanding the game and teaching my students how to think when they're on the field competing in addition to physically preparing their body to be explosive and durable.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

Questions? Our team is here to help. View our policies.
