How I can help you improve your game:
I do not believe there is a cookie cutter way to have a player throw on baseball. I like to take each person’s natural gifts and arm slots and accommodate mechanics to make them efficient and comfortable. I have vast experience and knowledge of the mental side of the game, which I believe is highly overlooked in picture development.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
In the first meeting, we will establish what your goals are and what you have as a current training program. We will discuss adjustments to that program if necessary, and then start the throwing part of the lesson. We will discuss adjustments that can be made in the process to make those adjustments permanent over the next sessions.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have been a volunteer high school baseball coach in between most of my professional seasons at high school. I have very recently began volunteer coaching at Alta Loma high school as well. I have run many clinics for youth and Little League.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was named Dominic Johnson. He helped develop my mechanics to increase velocity, but more importantly inspired me to be the best player that I could be. His positive reinforcement left an impact on me that lasted through my entire career.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
As a young player into junior high in high school, I was not nearly the most talented player on any team that I played on. It took me a lot of hard work both academically and athletically to have success through college and into professional baseball. I know what it is to work hard, and I know what it takes to be a Reach the next levell. I like to encourage my athletes to put in the same amount of work in their schooling as they do in their athletics.

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!
