About Me:
My playing career ended with high school, but I see the physics and biomechanics at a high level. I coached hitting and strength/conditioning for my son's travel ball teams from 8u-12u, and have found a passion in helping kids make the jump from rec to travel, specifically seeing the 'aha!' moment when they go from just swinging a bat at a ball to having a plan at the plan and being able to feel when something is off with their swing. I have worked with kids older than that, but I have seen the most impact within that age range.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can fix your swing - sometimes its a small adjustment, sometimes it requires starting from the basics and rebuilding. I can also tailor a workout plan to what a kid's pain points or areas of opportunity are.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depends on the kid and where they are in the process, but we would usually start with tee work to build and reinforce the right habits, then move to front toss and assess how adjustments are sticking when swinging at game speed.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Played through High School and some competitive softball as an adult. Started coaching my son's teams at 8u and started to see the game differently than I ever had. The first year I started to focus on hitting with them, 10 of them made a Top Gun All Star team. One of them went from end of the lineup and ready to quit to hitting third and starting an All Star game!
Best coach I ever had:
My old travel soccer coach - he would practice with us, and would stop practice for everyone to work through issues live - it wasnt just yelling and giving instruction, it was giving us his undivided attention and working with us 1:1 until we understood.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I didnt get to play in college and beyond, so I feel an obligation to give back to the game and help the next waves of stars reach their potential! I will treat these kids like theyre my own, because I vividly remember being their age and knowing that I didnt want to do anything else but play baseball. I model for them what to do and expect them to put in work outside of our sessions, this way they and take ownership and learn to understand and feel the intricacies of their individual swing.

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!
