The only variable in baseball is the next play .You are the control of it.
My goal is to develop complete ballplayers physically and mentally. My focus is pitching mechanics, off speed execution, fielding mechanics, and fielding strategies. Supported by a high baseball IQ, I teach and apply it in every session.

Get to know Coach Daniel
About Me:
I bring enthusiasm and genuine enjoyment to every session. Players should love the game and learn to harness that energy. I correct what needs to be corrected directly and honestly, without negativity or demeaning instruction.
I coach the mental side as seriously as the physical. Losing is part of the game, and in order to win, you must learn to lose like a pro.
How I can help you improve your game:
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Communicate daily strategy, high output warm-up, loosen up (get rid of nerves while we throw) , drills, specifics Debrief & pitchers will run at end (If time allows it)
Career summary and accomplishments:
I learned directly from elite baseball minds such as Warren Brusstar, MLB pitcher, World Series champion and coach, and Dan Parker, respected coach and former MLB player. I carry the same level of detail and professionalism they taught me. The strategies, drills, and work ethic I developed under Derek at Napa Valley College shaped my coaching foundation, and I apply those principles in my own way with every athlete I coach.
Best coach I ever had:
I would have to break that into four parts head coach would be Todd Pryde pitching coaches would be Jim Campbell and Warren Brusstar.
Derek Mayer is someone I admire for his approach to coaching.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
My purpose is simple.
To develop athletes who play with confidence, composure, and intent on the mound, on the field, and in life.
I do not want to see talent go unnoticed and or untapped. Nor do I want to see someone lose an opportunity due to anything that could be misunderstood or personal disadvantages. I fell to this very thing and it was my own doing when I was younger. I understand indifferences and can help with those scenarios as well.

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!
