"My 8yr old son’s confidence went through the roof after just one lesson. The first pitch , in his first game after his lesson, he pulled a hard line drive into the gap and kept hitting the ball hard in his later at bats. In three years of playing spring and fall ball, he has never done that. He’s already expressed he can’t wait till his next lesson and there will be plenty more! Highly recommend.

I’m a center back currently competing at the NCAA Division I level, with experience playing for Utah Valley University (UVU), University of Central Arkansas (UCA), and Gardner-Webb University. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of the game, especially from a defensive perspective, and I take pride in my leadership, positioning, and ability to read the field. As a player, I’ve always been vocal and disciplined — someone my teammates can count on. Now as a coach and mentor, I aim to bring that same energy to developing young players. I focus on teaching the fundamentals of defending, building confidence on the ball, and helping athletes grow both technically and mentally. Whether I’m training center backs to lead the backline or helping players understand the game at a higher level, I’m passionate about sharing what I’ve learned and giving back to the sport that’s given me so much.
