Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Christian

I have played 12 years of Travel baseball with teams like the Detroit Metro Stars and South Oakland A’s. I also played a year of college Baseball for Macomb Community College before Covid with Pneumonia hit me pretty hard and took a toll on my College Career.

I believe I can help improve your childs game by really feeling out what works with your child. Different things work with different people, and that is what I have came to understand over the years. I came to really understand that there are ways of encorporating different techniques depending on the player and those things can help them. Remembering a lot of my struggles as a early on hitter really has allowed me to see all of my struggles and allowed me to see the growth in the different things that I have done to combat the struggles. You may not always struggle with the same thing, you may have different things that come up that you weren’t doing the week before. However throughout this process I have seen it all with myself. I can tell you one thing, and that is there is always hope in getting better and better. You are never stuck.

A typical training session can look different depending on the age. No matter what age, I would like to get started with a brief asking a few questions to the player in learning a few things about them so I can know who I am training of course. I then want to explain exactly the technique I am teaching so you can understand where I am coming from when explaining certain corrections diring training. After I usually want to get stretched out and maybe have them work off of a tee, just seeing how their stationary swing is looking. By then it is usually easier to disect what I can improve. I may not say anything until we start with the soft toss and by then I can really engage how to relate with the player in what to improve. I can then begin getting them started with a few drills at a time to get used to these techniques in hopes of the improvement. After a few drills we may go back to soft toss and then begin stretching it into BP (batting Practice) where I throw to them. That allows better live action if they can ecorporate the techniques while dealing with a more live feel of pitching. After working those things for awhile and just getting the basic wrap up of the training session, depending how it goes I may give more drills than others to do at home so they can work on it on their own time as well. This can definitely speed up the process for the next training sessions, just getting use to the techniques in a more muscle memory basis.

The best coach I ever had was for the South Oakland A’s named Chris Demetral. He shared so much of his baseball knowledge because of his years he spent in the pros and showed what it meant to value his players. He cared for each and every one of us and never would disrespect you as a person or a player. Instead of yelling all the time, he would explain and teach, which allowed me to really pick up everything he was instructing.

My love for the game shows all through me. I want what is best for your athletes and want to grow players into achieving their goals. I am a fun guy who can relate with the athletes on different levels. I also have been trained in the hitting aspect of my game for many years in different training programs and have learned what has helped me the most, and now it is time for me to encorporate those things with helping your kid into grasping and learning them as well.
