Get to know Coach Ivan

About Me:

I picked up a baseball at the age of 3 and have played 25+ years across (T-ball → high school → adult tournament play).

After rediscovering my love for the game at 24, I have gained some great friendships and a sense of community within the sport.

My mission: to build well-rounded athletes who understand the value of confidence, discipline, and the process, not just the results. Former high school varsity assistant coach.

How I can help you improve your game:

Stronger, more resilient athletes.

More confidence at the plate and in the field.

Higher baseball/softball IQ – smarter decision-making.

A love for the process, not just the results.

Hitting and fielding are skills developed with devoted time, effort, and a willingness to learn.

I utilize a sustainable training lifestyle that will last well after our lessons are completed.

The game does not stop! only YOU do

What a typical training session looks like with me:

1-hour sessions

5 min - 10 min: Dynamic warm-up & plyometric ramp-up

40 min: Focused drill progression (defense or hitting)

15 min: Core + mobility work to lock in movements

Drill-oriented, high-energy, and tailored to each athlete’s position and goals.

Seasonal Training Tracks:

Fall: Skill sharpening + strength & conditioning

Winter: Strength base & swing mechanics

Spring: Game prep, situational reps

Summer: Showcase & travel readiness

Depending on the field location

(LIVE BP & PITCHING MACHINE) is an option.

Career summary and accomplishments:

Personal accolades: HS Varsity MVP (2009), JV DPOY (2008) Current Adult Travel/Tournament Team Manager & Player Assistant Varsity Coach 2024: NABA 25+ Champions (Manager/Player)

Best coach I ever had:

The best coach I ever had was my freshmen head coach Mr. Slagel. Apart from being a coach of baseball he also taught History class. The way he taught in the classroom setting was very similar to on the field, in fact our first week of baseball was held in a classroom and on the board he wrote "Baseball 101". He made baseball fun and always allowed his student athletes to stop, question, and discuss all facets of the game. He brought the understanding of the game down to the basic fundamentals which built a great foundation for any athlete to build from myself included.

What athletes and parents should know about me:

The pillars of my training are the elements that have shaped my life on and off the field. Allowing me to demonstrate to other athletes that ones journey through baseball present goals and achievements that are obtainable with repetition and perseverance

Frequently Asked Questions

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
