Get to know Coach James
About Me:
I’m from the MetroWest area of Massachusetts, having played for Framingham HS, then to Eastern Connecticut and Mass Bay Community College. I'm an experienced outfielder, but with over a decade of coaching experience am skilled in all facets of the game. I currently work out of Holliston, Milford, and Medway, MA and coach student athletes from all over the area. I enjoy helping players build their skills, confidence, and love for the game. My goal is to make training challenging, fun, and personal so every player can grow and enjoy the journey.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help players take their game to the next level by focusing on fundamentals, refining skills, and building confidence on and off the field. Together, we’ll create a plan that’s challenging, fun, and tailored to your goals.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Sessions with me are all about skill, speed, and confidence. We start by stretching and a dynamic warm up. The rest depends on what the lessons are aimed at for each player but there could be batting practice, drill work, fielding, throwing or pitching mechanics, practice game situations, and end with tips to keep improving—fun, focused, and personalized every time.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Former collegiate and CNEBA player with over a decade of coaching youth athletes ages 10–18. Experienced in travel programs, private training, seasonal camps, and year-round development. Skilled at building fundamentals, player confidence, and game intelligence, while fostering a positive, disciplined team culture. Proven ability to mentor athletes through advanced development pathways, including college recruitment preparation. Combines hands-on playing experience with a passion for developing both athletic skill and personal growth.
Best coach I ever had:
Bunky Smith from Legion was the kind of coach who set the standard for the leader I strive to be today. I played for him for several years, and he held every player accountable in a way that made you want to rise to the moment. Every time I stepped onto the field, I knew I had to bring my best—because he expected nothing less than full effort on every single play. He taught resilience, reinforced that the team always came before the individual, and created an environment where hard work and integrity mattered. His influence shaped not just how I approached the game, but the type of coach I aim to become.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know I’m committed to helping every player grow in skill, confidence, and love for the game. I focus on personalized instruction, clear communication, and creating a fun, supportive environment where players feel challenged and encouraged. My goal is to help athletes reach their full potential while enjoying the journey.

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.
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!
