Baseball Coach | Private Instruction & Athlete Performance Training
Lifelong baseball player, coach, and instructor with experience playing through the college level and coaching varsity high school and travel baseball. I focus on developing complete players through strong fundamentals, individualized instruction, and sports performance training. My goal is to help each athlete improve their skills, confidence, strength, and overall performance while keeping training positive and challenging.
How I can help you improve
I can work with players on hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching fundamentals, baseball IQ, and overall athletic performance. I don’t believe every player needs to look exactly the same. We’ll identify what you do well, where you need improvement, and build from there. For younger players especially, my focus is developing sound fundamentals that will continue to work as the game gets faster and more competitive.
A typical training session
Every session is based on the athlete’s age, experience, and goals. We’ll start with a quick warm-up and movement work before getting into the primary focus for that day. A baseball lesson may include tee work, front toss, live hitting, throwing, fielding, pitching mechanics, or position-specific work. Sports performance sessions may include speed, agility, strength, coordination, and explosiveness. I like to keep athletes moving and get a lot of quality reps into each session.
Career & accomplishments
I played baseball through the high school and college levels and have continued in the game as a coach and instructor. I have coached varsity baseball at Pinecrest High School for the past several years and currently coach youth travel baseball. I am a USA Baseball Certified Coach and hold multiple ISSA certifications, including Certified Personal Trainer and sports performance-related credentials. I am also active in professional baseball coaching associations and continue to invest in education and development as both a baseball and performance coach.
Best coach I ever had
The best coaches I’ve had were the ones who held players accountable while still making it clear they cared about them as people. They taught the game, expected us to work, and didn’t overcomplicate things. That has shaped the way I coach today. I want athletes to know what is expected of them, understand why we’re working on something, and leave each session better and more confident than when they arrived.
What athletes & parents should know
I’m big on effort, attitude, fundamentals, and doing things the right way. I’ll challenge athletes, but I also want them to enjoy coming to train. Especially with younger players, development is a process. I’m not interested in quick fixes or making every athlete fit the same mold. My goal is to build better baseball players and better overall athletes while helping them develop confidence and a genuine love for the game.

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.
How do rescheduling, cancellations, and lesson credits work?
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.

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 college and pro 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 + background check, 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!
