Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Jalen
I plan on developing the athlete to their desire goal. I expect maximum effort from the athletes I train and hold myself to the same standard. My background as previous captain of Caldwell University's baseball team, a member of several travel teams ranging from Maryland all the way to California, and an athlete that has pursued several MLB partner leagues, I bring a lot of knowledge to the table regarding what scouts of all levels are seeking (i.e., high school, college, and professional). I have several connections to players who are currently playing at all levels including professional. Therefore, I can implement what I see from them into my teaching to help athletes maximize growth in a way that is not only effective but efficient.

About Me:
Before my high school career, I got a baseball scholarship to play at Archbishop Curley High School. I was a two-year varsity starter on the baseball team. I also played JV basketball in my freshman year. During the rest of my time there, we won the MIAA A conference baseball championship in my senior year, and I played a big part in the success, with a batting average of 415—and six home runs. During the summer, I was invited and selected to play in the Brook Robinson All-Star game at Camden Yards. After that, I got a baseball and academic scholarship at Caldwell University. The baseball program was a D2 program. While there, I was a good player. I was selected 2x for honor player of the week and baseball team captain in my senior year. After college, I now have the popular to help shape and train the younger generation.
How I can help you improve your game:
To improve an athlete's game is to guide them into having a strong mentality and practicing baseball daily. You can be the best player on your team, but if you don't have the mental capacity to accept failure, the athlete won't be successful. Therefore, I will give them tips and treat practice like its game day because success will translate into the game.

Career summary and accomplishments:
I was requested to assist at a 7u–14u training camp when I was 18 years old, and that is how my coaching career began. That added up in college when I was asked to assist with high school coaching. Also, while I was training, when I was getting ready for camps, I would have parents come up to me and ask me to train their kids after my hitting session. I have expertise coaching athletes of all ages, so I know what is required to ensure they meet their goals.
Best coach I ever had:
My best coach besides my dad is the Baltimore Orioles Hall of Famer, Mr. Al Bumbry. I met Mr. Bumbry in the summer of 2021, and he trained me for a month. After that month, with all the knowledge I had, I had an exceptional year. I was ranked 4th in triples in the whole CACC conference. Also, I had the best hitting season in my college career with no injuries. So his knowledge and help made me a better ball player where. I can take his teaching and pass it on.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am a 25-year-old former collegiate D2 with a bachelor's degree in criminal justice and two minors in sociology and business administration. I also have my master's in integrated homeland security management and am well aware that academics play a significant role in the young athlete's career. Also, I am the Archbishop Curley Hitting Coach/Outfield Coach

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.
