Get to know Chris
I develop confident, disciplined athletes who compete the right way.
I’m a development-focused coach who prioritizes fundamentals, accountability, and a competitive mindset. My goal is to help athletes grow in skill and confidence while building habits that translate to success on and off the field through structure, preparation, and consistent improvement.
How I can help you improve
I help athletes improve by focusing on fundamentals, consistency, and game awareness. My training builds proper mechanics while developing confidence, athleticism, and decision-making that translates directly into competition. Through structured drills, personalized feedback, and game-like situations, players learn not just how to perform skills, but when and why to use them. My goal is to help every athlete develop stronger habits, compete with confidence, and reach their full potential on the field.
A typical training session
A typical session with me is structured, high-energy, and game-focused. We begin with a dynamic warm-up, then move into skill development based on the athlete’s needs: including hitting, defense, and position-specific work. Training emphasizes proper mechanics, repetition with purpose, and situational awareness through drills that translate directly to game performance. Athletes receive clear feedback throughout the session and finish with competitive reps designed to build confidence and a strong mindset. My goal is for every athlete to leave improved, confident, and better prepared for competition.
Career & accomplishments
Chris earned both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Sports Management from Towson University and Coastal Carolina University, giving him a strong foundation in athlete development, program leadership, and facility operations.
He currently serves as the Varsity Softball Head Coach at Maryvale Preparatory School and brings over six years of baseball and softball coaching experience at multiple levels. As a former catcher and a two-year varsity team captain at Pikesville High School, Chris understands the physical and mental demands of the game and applies that insight directly to his instruction.

What athletes & parents should know
Athletes and parents should know that I care about development first. My goal is to create a positive, structured, and challenging environment where players can build confidence while improving their skills the right way. I focus on strong fundamentals, accountability, and teaching athletes how to think the game, not just perform drills. I believe in clear communication, honest feedback, and meeting each athlete where they are in their development. Every session is designed to help players grow as competitors, teammates, and confident individuals both on and off the field.

Coach Chris was fantastic with my 11-year-old daughter. She came to him needing both skill development and a boost in confidence, and he was able to give her both. He quickly identified a few adjustments to help her at the plate and explained them in a way that was easy for her to understand and apply. By the end of the lesson, her stance looked better, and her swing looked stronger and more controlled. Most importantly, she felt much better about herself as a player. Coach Chris was positive, patient, and clearly knows how to work with young athletes. We would absolutely recommend Coach Chris and look forward to working with him again soon!

We hired Coach Chris for formal training on catching for my 15 y/o daughter who plays softball. He has been very thorough breaking each mechanic down step by step so my daughter can see how each skill is applied and then is able to apply it herself. His professionalism, patience and encouragement with my daughter has been amazing and my daughter enjoys her sessions with him. She leaves each session more confident than the last and is eager to apply all she is learning out on the field. Coach Chris has even incorporated strength training in our sessions to help with my daughter's core and throws. All around great softballl Coach and highly recommended!

We hired Coach Chris to help with our 12-year old's confidence on the softball field. Coach Chris is an outstanding hitting coach who connected with our daughter from the very first lesson. His instruction is clear, encouraging and tailored to what she needs to do to improve at bat and in the field. After just the first session, she was hitting better and was more confident and stronger in her swing. We highly recommend Coach Chris to any softball player looking to take their hitting to the next level.

We hired Coach Chris for our 10-year-old son, and the experience has been phenomenal. From our very first session, Coach Chris demonstrated a level of professionalism and expertise that truly sets him apart. He possesses a deep, highly skilled understanding of the game and has an incredible ability to break down complex mechanics into easy, actionable steps for a young player. Coach Chris is always prompt, organized, and provides clear, constructive feedback after every lesson, keeping us fully in the loop on our son's progress. More importantly, he has a wonderful demeanor with kids. He perfectly balances rigorous, high-quality training with encouragement, keeping the sessions engaging, positive, and fun.

Coach Chris is great! He is very personable and gives specific, actionable feedback. Two lessons after working on her swing, my daughter hit an out-of-the-park home run.

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!
