Book Private Baseball Lessons with Coach Will
I focus on helping the athlete learn the movements themself. The athlete must know the why and the how. That is what I teach. I have worked with many pitchers and walk through the process with all of them step by step. The more they know, the less they’ll need me, which is the ultimate goal. I will not be there to help them every game, they must know for themselves what to do and how to do it. This is what I teach.

Get to know Coach Will
About Me:
I played all four years of high school baseball for Saxony Lutheran, where I received 1st Team All District honors my senior year. I was a Senior Captain. I played up to the Junior College level at St Louis Community College, but unfortunately was halted in the spring by constant injuries, and decided to retire and train kids with the knowledge I now have.
How I can help you improve your game:
Specifically, I have the know how. Pitching is like one big puzzle or equation for me. Everything is affected by something else. I have the know how to teach kids what to do, and more importantly, I have the know how on making it make sense to the kids.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Always start with a 20min dynamic I have written up specifically for pitchers. We get loose to throw, not throw to get loose. Then we will work through our throwing progressions, whatever increment of the pitching sequence we are currently focusing on. Always with this, the most important thing is communicating with the athlete. What do they feel? Do they feel it when they do it right or wrong? Can they tell me what they need to do? Constant quality reps in small drills will help the athlete feel the correct movements. We spend roughly 40min on this, and then finish with a 15min recovery workout involving a core stability workout and an arm recovery workout. Everything I do has a specific reason behind it, and I am very open to explaining every detail of the how and why to the athletes and the parents.
Career summary and accomplishments:
Assistant Baseball Coach for Jackson Senior Legion in Summer of 2024. Saxony JV Assistant Baseball Coach 2024-Present. Jackson Tribe 15u Head Coach from 2024-Present. Personal Pitching Trainer from 2023-Present.
Best coach I ever had:
Mark Lewis. He is the head coach of Jackson Senior Legion and the assistant coach at Saxony Lutheran. I have trained with him since I was 8 years old. He will always, no matter what, tell it like it is. He is very straightforward, brilliant, and knows how to handle players.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I strive for perfection in my kids. My goal is for every kid I personally instruct to at minimum leave the session and be able to say “I learned something.” Whether they can successfully do a movement yet or not, they must be able to know how to do it, and what drills they can do to get there. My goal is to guide them through this process and educate them the whole way. Parents and athletes should know my passion for teaching kids the art of pitching is unmatched.

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!
