How I can help you improve your game:
I offer all sorts of services pitching wise, but my process for improving someone's pitching skills goes like this:
1. Initial assessment
2. Analyze and set priorities
3. Create a personalized, structured plan
4. Set a timeline
5. Evaluate progress
What a typical training session looks like with me:
Depending on the skill and age of the athlete, a typical training session with me starts with a dynamic and stationary warm up, followed by some sort of explosive movement before we go into resistance-band work. From there we will go into drill work and I will make my initial assessment of the athlete's pitching mechanics. Then on to throwing, which is where I will play catch with the athlete and evaluate mechanics and make suggestions. My first priority is arm health, and I pride myself in leading athlete's down the road of longevity, so I will make mechanical suggestions based off that. Once I see the mechanics are healthy enough, then my next priority is velocity.
Career summary and accomplishments:
As a pitching coach Eden Prairie Legion Baseball, I mentored aspiring high school pitchers helping them develop their skills and confidence on the mound. I emphasized the fundamentals of pitching mechanics, mental toughness, and game strategy, ensuring they not only improve their technical abilities but also their overall understanding of the game. Through consistent feedback and encouragement, I fostered a supportive learning environment that motivated pitchers to reach their full potential.
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was Dave Clark, aka Skip, who is now the first base coach for the Houston Astros. Skip taught me the importance of being tough on the mound and although he was intimidating, he had a huge heart for both his players and the game of baseball. I have all the respect in the world for Skip, he is truly a professional and always leads by example.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I am committed to fostering a positive and competitive environment while also aiming to enhance players’ skills, sportsmanship, and love for the game. Through tailored coaching techniques and strategic training programs, I am dedicated to improving each and every one of my students with a goal of them playing collegiate baseball.

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!
