Imagine having a mental health and baseball coach who not only understands the ins and outs of the game but also the mental challenges that come with it.

I know firsthand how to navigate the mental side of the game and can help you do the same.

About Me:
I've been playing baseball since I was 5, starting out with travel ball at 10. In high school, I played varsity baseball at Mesquite. During my college years, I spent 4 seasons as a key reliever at D2 UT Permian Basin before transferring to D1 Coppin State. At Coppin State, I did a bit of everything - spot starting, relieving, and finally taking on the role of closer. My journey has been about adapting and making an impact on the field wherever I'm needed.
How I can help you improve your game:
One way I can help improve an athlete's game is by focusing on personalized mental skills training. I understand that each athlete has unique strengths and areas for growth, so I tailor my coaching approach to address their specific needs. By working closely with athletes to develop mental toughness, resilience, focus, and confidence, I can help them enhance their performance on the field. Through targeted exercises, visualization techniques, goal-setting strategies, and effective communication, I empower athletes to overcome challenges, stay motivated, and reach their full potential. My goal is to not only improve their skills but also boost their mental game, leading to overall growth and success in their athletic endeavors.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session with me is designed to be dynamic, engaging, and tailored to the individual athlete's needs. We usually start with a warm-up to prepare the body and mind for the session ahead. Then, we dive into skill-specific drills and exercises focused on areas for improvement identified through assessment or discussion. Throughout the session, I provide hands-on guidance, feedback, and encouragement to help the athlete refine their techniques and reach their goals. We also dedicate time to mental skills training, such as visualization, goal-setting, and mindfulness exercises, to enhance overall performance and resilience. Each session is structured to be challenging yet supportive, with a focus on continuous improvement and growth.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I was an assistant coach for the Chandler Blaze club team, where I got to share my love for the game with the players. Back in high school, I also coached at various camps, helping young athletes improve their skills and grow their love for baseball. Coaching has been a rewarding experience that allows me to give back to the sport that has given me so much.
Best coach I ever had:
Coach Wes Hunt is hands down the best coach I've ever had. Not only did he elevate my game to new heights by teaching me how to be mentally tough and approach challenges with a winning mindset, but he also imparted invaluable life lessons on being a good husband, father, and overall man. The wisdom he shared back in 2019, I now see being utilized by top teams at the highest level every day. Coach Hunt's impact goes beyond the field, shaping me into a well-rounded individual both in sports and in life.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I can relate to every athlete at every level because I've been in their shoes at various points in my career. Whether it's experiencing the highs of being a top player on the team or the lows of struggling to find my place, I understand the challenges and triumphs that come with sports. This firsthand experience allows me to connect with athletes on a deeper level, empathize with their journey, and provide tailored guidance to help them navigate through obstacles and reach their full potential. My goal is to support athletes of all levels in achieving their goals and becoming the best versions of themselves, both athletically and personally.

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
