Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Daniel
I was fortunate enough to play at SNHU, a division II powerhouse. Here is where I saw what it takes to be the best player you can possibly be. Surrounded by ambitious players and coaches, I had to work my tail off or I would stand out in a bad way. I developed a true appreciation for the game of baseball and what it takes to be good. As my playing career ended, I knew I wanted to coach. I've had the opportunity to coach at the youth, high school and now at the college level. To me, the same rules are applied at whatever level. Practice how you want to play and practice as much as possible. I understand how expensive baseball has become, and paying a private coach just adds to the long list of things parents pay for hoping their kid enjoys the game and becomes a good player. Training with me, your kid will understand that nothing good happens overnight, it takes work and more work that will need to be done on their own. My goal is that when your kid is done working with me, they will know how to get better on their own.

About Me:
As a high school standout at Longwood High School, I was awarded all league player both my junior and senior season all while serving as the Ace of the pitching staff. My senior year I was awarded the '' John Heck'' award from the athletic department. The award is given to a senior athlete who demonstrated exceptional leadership both on and off the field. In college, I was a 2x NE-10 Champion and played in the Division II College World Series my junior year. In the summers of 2020 and 2021, I was named to the Blue Chip Collegiate league all star teams. In 2020, I set the leagues all time ERA record, posting a 0.00 ERA in 20 IP.
How I can help you improve your game:
I try to strengthen the athlete's strengths while addressing their flaws and providing them with the resources they need to improve independently.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Begin with a lively warm-up appropriate for high school or college. Young baseball players need to know how vital a proper warm-up and stretch are to avoiding injuries and positioning themselves for success. Basic glove work is followed by catch play and whatever our day concentration is.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I began coaching at the youth level. I started working at Baseball Heaven on Long Island the summer following my high school graduation. For the following few summers, I worked here as a camp counselor. I had the privilege of coaching their 11u and 13u teams in 2020 after I officially became a team coach. I volunteered as the pitching coach for the varsity and junior varsity teams at Longwood High School in 2023. I joined the Manhattanville University baseball program as the graduate assistant coach in the fall of 2023. I currently work as a coach here.
Best coach I ever had:
Scott Loiseau is the greatest coach I have ever had. When I was a student at Southern New Hampshire University, he served as my head coach. His accomplishments and stats speak for themselves if you research him, but in my opinion, this isn't what made him a fantastic coach. My teammates and I truly looked up to him, and he is an amazing role model. He had high expectations for everyone and demanded excellence every single day. He is currently Dayton University's head coach.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
When I first started playing baseball, I had a lot of success. As I approached my senior year, I received a lot of attention from universities because I was consistently among the top players in my area. I put in more effort than many kids did during this time to improve, but I was unaware of the quantity of time and effort that THE best kids were putting in. I signed with SNHU, a Division II powerhouse, to play collegiate baseball. This is when my on-field difficulties started, and it truly helped me understand how difficult baseball is. I put in more work than I had ever done in my life. I was doing something to get better everyday. Unfortunately for me, I never truly saw the fruits of my labor at the college level but I am content with it because I know I gave it everything I had. Now as a coach, this is my philosophy around becoming a better player. Give it your all, because when's it all over with, at least you will have no regrets.

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!
