Elevate your physical and mental game with college and pro baseball experience.
Hey, I'm Robert! All my life, I've dedicated my time to baseball. I was a four-year starter in college and now play professional baseball. In this time, I have learned so much about the game. Not only have I learned a multitude of physical tips and adjustments, but I've deeply studied the mental game to help athletes like yourself reach their full potential. Schedule a call with me today so we can elevate you into the athlete that you are meant to be!
I can help improve your game physically through hitting lessons and defensive lessons. I can also help improve the mental side of your game by discussing what is on your mind, evaluating your thought process, and giving you helpful cues to take into your next game.
A typical training session with me first involves a discussion to see what you want to get out of your lesson. Then, I will do a low-stress evaluation so I can see how your body moves. Based on the things I see, we will go into targeted drill work to address any deficiencies. Lastly, we will wrap up with a plan to continue progressing on what we worked on in the lesson.

The best coach I ever had was my head coach in college. He was honest, let me know where I needed to get better, and pushed me to be the best player I could be. Sometimes it would seem like he was being tough, but he wanted the best for me at all times. As a coach, I am very personable, easy to talk to, and want the best for every athlete that I work with.
Athletes and parents should know that I will be patient and listen to what each athlete feels they are struggling with, and then offer targeted drills that I have personally used.
Then $192/mo for 4 lessons, starting 48 hours after your 1st lesson. Cancel anytime.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
