“I love what I do and I take it seriously. My goal is to help each and every player I get to work with improve their baseball IQ, mechanics, strength, endurance, and most of all help them to instill a confidence in themselves that will help them to be their best.
Beyond teaching the proper pitching and hitting mechanics, techniques, strategies, mindsets, etc, I look at my primary role as a coach to be a mentor and motivator. Each time I get to work with my players I hope to help light their internal fire to keep improving and taking ownership of their craft.”

A lesson with me:
A lesson with me will always start with a quick 5-10 minute discovery session (for new clients) followed by a dynamic warm up. We are focused on helping our players create their own “championship routine” with a fun mix of dynamic stretching and movement preparation, as well as calisthenics. This routine is tailored to the age, skill level, and fitness of the player and it is designed to help our players program their ability to move properly, as well as prepare them to maximize performance and minimize the risk of injury. We always get after it and it’s always fun and productive with a plan to continue progressing like a champion.
