A lesson with me:
A lesson with me will always be fun and educational. During each lesson I have the opportunity to give I learn something new and I work to apply it towards my overall coaching ability so I can reach a wide variety of players with different ages, personalities, and learning styles.
During private baseball lessons with me you will always perform a nice dynamic warmup to not only get your blood flowing and stretched out but also to actually learn how to properly move your body in baseball specific ways(ie: explosive first step, cross over step, catcher’s pop, etc). I can work with any position and provide value, but my heart is in working with catchers who love the game and want to get after it and be pushed. I always adjust my intensity as a teacher and coach relative to what my player needs.
My favorite motivational quote:
“It’s really hard to beat someone who NEVER quits.”
