Best 100 coaches for lessons near Aliso Viejo, CA

I am a current college athlete at Concordia University Irvine with over 20 years of experience in the game I love. I specialize in all infield positions, while also bringing knowledge and instruction across every area of the field. Offensively, I focus on hitting and helping players develop strong, consistent approaches at the plate. Baseball has been a part of my life since I was young, and my goal as a coach is not only to develop players’ skills but also to teach the valuable life lessons the game provides. Whether it’s building confidence, discipline, or a team-first mindset, I strive to prepare athletes for success on and off the field. I teach all levels of play! Reach out to me and we can talk more about details and lesson plans. Looking forward to getting to work with you!

I’ve been playing tennis since I was 15 and have remained passionate about the game for over 40 years. I played varsity high school tennis for a top CIF team and started working in tennis clubs at 18 — first at the front desk and maintaining courts, and eventually moving into full-time teaching by my mid-20s. I’ve competed in A and Open-level tournaments and played beach paddle tennis daily for years. I’ve run adult and junior clinics at public courts, city recreation centers, and private clubs throughout Orange County, including Mission Viejo and Laguna Woods. While I later completed my degree at Cal State Fullerton and built a career outside of tennis, I’ve never stopped playing — currently twice a day — and I’m ready to return to coaching. Whether you’re just picking up a racquet or you’re an experienced player looking for feedback and improvement, I’d love to help you grow in the sport of a lifetime.
