Quality instruction from an Ex-pro pitcher.
Quality instruction from an Ex-pro pitcher.
Every pitcher develops differently — and that’s exactly how it should be. No two athletes have the same build, arm slot, or movement pattern, which is why I take a personalized approach to pitching instruction. My coaching philosophy centers on the belief that effective development must be individualized, safe, and sustainable. I don’t teach a cookie-cutter delivery or force players into a single mechanical model. Instead, I work closely with each pitcher to identify the movements that best suit their body and skill set, helping them create a delivery that is safe, repeatable, and effective. My instruction emphasizes proper sequencing, efficient mechanics, and arm care — the foundations for both performance and longevity.

Get to know Coach Nolan
About Me:
I’m tall and goofy. I have knowledge and experience that not many other coaches do.
How I can help you improve your game:
I can help improve consistency on the mound. I can help get that extra few mph out of your fastball. Sharpen your curveball/slider. My favorite pitch to teach is the change-up even though I chose to throw a split finger during my playing days. Most of all i want to give you the longest career on the mound by making sure your delivery is safe and repeatable.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
***Make sure to get you legs loose on your own before the lesson.*** don’t worry about playing catch before the lesson as that is included in the half hour lesson. I prefer to play catch with the players so I can see how the ball is traveling in the air and how it is coming out of the hand that day.
—10ish mins playing catch
— 20ish mins on the mound.
(Trust me it doesn’t sound like a lot of time, but you would be surprised with how many pitches are actually thrown within that time period. As i said before, I’m not trying to burn the arm out so 30mins is the longest lesson I offer on the mound.)
Career summary and accomplishments:
4 year varsity high school baseball team. Committed to sdsu the summer going into my sophomore year of high school. Drafted in the 4th round in 2012 by the Tampa bay rays. Played minor league ball until 2016 when my elbow gave out on a curveball. The Major reason why I focus on safe mechanics.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Dominic Johnson. He was my pitching coach from when I was 11 till I was 18.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I’m easy going. Sometimes it may seem like I love to hear myself talk and that’s only because i am passionate about what I teach, feel free to tell me to zip it! :)

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
