Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Jake
I want to use my past experiences and knowledge to help young student-athletes maximize their potential as baseball players. I understand that there is more to pitching/hitting/fielding than just mechanics and will create a wholistic training program to help student-athletes achieve their goals.

How I can help you improve your game:
I plan on taking a wholistic approach when it comes to training - this includes mechanical video analysis, pitching/hitting-specific training (mechanical drills, strength training, stretching/flexibility, arm care, etc.), pitching/hitting approach, and the mental aspect of pitching/hitting.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Training sessions will vary based on goals. Initially, I want to set goals and then build a training program to achieve those goals. From there, training sessions would include a proper warmup, light throwing, flatgrounds or bullpens (depending on pitching schedule), and some video analysis. Video is a major facilitator in improvement for me - you can feel like you are doing one thing, but video can show something completely different (feel vs. real). I am also happy to set up a schedule for in between sessions that will include strength training, stretching, drills, and arm care (based around athlete's current throwing schedule)
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have experience coaching youth baseball (ages 10-12) in the Washington, D.C. area, but am open to coaching all age groups. Throughout college, I worked with our own pitching staff on a daily basis to talk through mechanical adjustments, pitching approach, strength training, etc. I understand the need to adjust training programs based on age, ability, and future goals.
Best coach I ever had:
I have had many great coaches throughout my life and they all have had one thing in common: the ability to clearly and effectively communicate with their players. Two-way communication is extremely important in a player-coach relationship, and is something I plan to emphasize in my training program.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am very passionate about the game of baseball (pitching, specifically) and am willing to go above and beyond just mechanical adjustments to help student-athletes achieve their baseball goals. I understand that no two players are the same, and the importance of tailoring training programs to each specific player. I am very easy-going, responsive, and want training to be fun!

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!
