How I can help you improve your game:
Breakdown fundamentals of the game and improve some holes in the athletes game. I like to focus on one task at a time to make the player progress faster over a years time. Cannot be great in a day. Repetitionbecomes muscle memory so that it becomes second nature when the pressure is on!
What a typical training session looks like with me:
first day we go over the basis on what we want to achieve and an evaluation will take place. See that skillsets that need worked on and go from there. I was a middle infielder growing up that transitioned into a pitcher becomes of arm strength over time!
Career summary and accomplishments:
1 on 1 coaching during winter months of 2016-2018 for 3 seasons while playing collegiately and professionally. Group gym sessions with teammates and local athletes in the Philipsburg area for core strength and conditioning.
Best coach I ever had:
Jim Chester
Jim pushed me to reach another level in my mind as a player. he helped focus my energy and skillset in terms of the mind game of baseball and it pushed me over the top and into another category in terms of ability. I myself and my mind is what held me back for 2 years and he helped me overcome them and become the dominant player I became. Great coach who develops players over time and sees the potential in each player!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am honest hard working individual that tries to make the most out of the opportunities given. I trained hard and give perspective on what it takes to get tp the next level in each place of the sport of baseball. Most players aren't born with the genetics of size potential so that mean hard work and dedication are the separation factors to move up in levels. Injury prevention is a focus of mine and correct strength and conditioning for the sport is a must. Dietary lifestyle and overall atheltic performance will aid in the goals to be the best player one can become. I am straight forward trainer but that's the way I see to get the best results. I don't want to train the guy that doesn't wanna be there or push to what it takes. We all love the game and I want to pass on my love and knowledge to future generations so they can become the best player and more importantly teammate they can ever become! Look forward to training with y'all and se you in the gym or on the Field!
throughout high school I was a 5 tool player that moved to just a PO after first year of college. Hitting was a passion of mine I had to let go in order to achieve my goals of making it to the next Level of Professional BALL! Power hitting and gap to gap slugger was my MO. No small ball game for me coming through the ranks.

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.
