About Me:
I’m a 21 year old junior baseball player at Chapman University, hitting left handed and throwing right handed. I have experience playing all positions, with a strong focus on the infield, especially shortstop, third base, and first base. I take pride in my knowledge of the game, particularly when it comes to fundamentals, hitting approaches, and pre at-bat routines. Having gone through the process myself, I understand what it takes to become a college athlete and the things required to succeed at the next level.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help improve your game in three key areas:
Hitting: We’ll build a strong approach at the plate through pre–at-bat routines, visualization, and solid swing fundamentals. I also focus on bat speed and developing the confidence to drive the ball to all fields.
Defense: You’ll follow a structured throwing and arm care program, work through position specific glove drills, and gain a deeper understanding of how to play your position at a high level.
Strength & Conditioning: This is where players separate themselves. I’ll guide you through workouts and drills to increase bat speed, exit velocity, and throwing velocity, while getting your body in the right shape to perform consistently all season.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical session starts with a proper warmup to get your body ready to go, followed by an arm care and catch play routine. From there, we move into defensive work, focusing on your position and anything that needs improvement. Next, we’ll get into hitting routines and drills to build consistency and confidence at the plate. We finish every session with competition to bring energy, focus, and a game like feel to your training.
Career summary and accomplishments:
My family created a baseball camp called Bronco Baseball Academy, so I have had years of coaching experience working with kids ranging from the age 5-21.Throughout my career on the field, I’ve been recognized as a team captain and First Team All-League as both a junior and senior in high school. At Chapman, I earned Rookie of the Year honors as a freshman and have been a three year starter.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I have ever had was my Dad. Growing up in a baseball family allowed me to be around the game starting at a young age. I was lucky enough to have the best baseball coach in the world as my Dad. He taught me how to play the game the right way, work hard to achieve my goals, and have fun no matter what came in my way. He is one of the reasons I am still playing.m
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have a joy and passion to help others, and coaching is one of the ways I do that. I bring leadership, experience, and a competitive edge to everything I do on and off the field. My goal isn't just to leave you as a better baseball player, but as a better person to.

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 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!
