Developing confident athletes who perform under pressure.
As both a college baseball coach and former player, I've experienced the highs and lows that come with the game—success, failure, confidence, doubt, and everything in between. Those experiences have shown me that the mental side of baseball often makes the difference between potential and performance. I help athletes develop the confidence, focus, and resilience needed to navigate adversity, trust their preparation, and perform under pressure. My goal is to give players practical tools they can use to compete with confidence and get the most out of their abilities both on and off the field.

About Me:
I am currently an Assistant Baseball Coach at Westminster College and a former collegiate pitcher with playing experience at Seton Hill University and Bryant & Stratton College. Throughout my college career, I logged over 100 innings on the mound and experienced both the successes and challenges that come with competing at a high level.
My coaching philosophy is built on helping athletes develop confidence, consistency, and the mental skills needed to perform under pressure. Having navigated the ups and downs of the game myself, I understand what players go through and enjoy helping them grow both on and off the field. Whether you're looking to improve your pitching, strengthen your mental approach, or take the next step in your baseball journey, I'm committed to helping you reach your goals.
How I can help you improve your game:
I help athletes improve their skills, confidence, and mental approach to the game. Through personalized coaching, I focus on fundamentals, game performance, and building the habits that lead to long-term success on and off the field.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
All training sessions are conducted remotely and are designed to improve both performance and mindset through a combination of mental skills coaching and game-specific development.
Sessions often focus on topics such as handling failure, building confidence, controlling emotions, and developing a consistent competitive mindset. These conversations help athletes learn how to stay composed and perform under pressure in game situations.
We also use video review to break down mechanics, identify areas for improvement, and create clear, actionable adjustments. In addition, I help pitchers build individualized development plans that include structured routines, bullpen design, and specific goals for continued growth.
Every session is tailored to the athlete’s needs with the goal of building better habits, stronger performance, and long-term development on the mound.

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!
