For The Love of Coaching
I love being a Baseball Coach! I thrive on the individual growth of an athlete over the awards or trophies. My training sessions begin with communication because I believe the mental aspect of baseball is one of the most overlooked training opportunities. I find this especially true for younger players who are still looking to discover and develop their skills as well as learn patience, competitiveness, teamwork, and camaraderie with new kids. I have a number of certifications from USA Baseball, NFHS, as well as OnBaseU which I completed to receive Certified Hitting Instructor status. My goal is to create a fun, positive training experience to help increase confidence and success on the field!

About Me:
I have been involved in team building for decades, just in a different industry. I entered into coaching world for my 2 boys who I didn't feel were getting the best coach/player experience. Since then I have fell in love with not only the coaching but also the learning, not just for my players but more importantly for myself. The more I learn, train, and practice, the better of a coach I become for all my athletes.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help a player improve their game by first evaluating the player themselves. Knowing how an athlete sees themselves as a player also helps in their development. In addition I can help them become a more efficient hitter, fielder, and overall player.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
For hitting, the first session usually starts with player interview, mobility screen, and video capture & analysis. After identifying any mobility issues and/or swing inhibitors we plan training based on areas that need improvement.
For fielding, same first interview, and plan training based on current skill levels.
Career summary and accomplishments:
I have an extensive amount of coaching teams, however baseball has just been added over the past few years. Since deciding to coach my 2 boys I have coached multiple teams ranging from age groups 6U - 14U. I have also wholeheartedly dedicated countless hours of training and personal development to help me become that better coach. Although my specialty is hitting I am skilled in all aspects of the sport.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had wasn't even a coach by definition. Coaches don't just coach on a field or sports specifically but they also coach and mentor in other ways. The best coaches I ever had were the ones that made me believe in myself and made me feel like as part of a team I can make a difference and as an individual I could accomplish anything.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am serious about growth, both for me and my athletes. I am serious about putting in the effort. I am serious about fun. A huge win for me is to see the excitement on a players face when they make a huge play or send a dinger into the outfield. Baseball is hard enough without us getting in our own way. We as coaches and players need to have fun and love what we do to get better and be successful.

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. 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!
