Coach Andrew has been working with our son for two years. He has been instrumental in developing Cody’s mechanics; as well as his mental game. Coach Andrew is an outstanding coach and mentor! The digital analysis and virtual lessons are really cool! Coach Andrew gave Cody specific and clear visual step-by-step feed back. His ability to break down Cody’s transfer and throw downs with constructive feedback and positive reinforcement was extremely beneficial. He also sent us videos of personal drills to practice and example videos of professional baseball players. Cody can refer to the videos and assessment anytime he needs a refresher! Thank you Coach Andrew!

Extremely valuable. Andrew does a great job at making the adjustments easy for my 10 year old to understand and put into practice. Great having an outside voice, as my son listens with great detail and responds accordingly. Thank you coach Andrew!

Coaching Philosophy

I believe that it’s important for the player to think for themselves and come to their own conclusions. Catching and Hitting training is a calculated process that takes precision and focused repetitions. To attain greatness in sports, players must learn to love the process of practicing tediously to improve their game. I believe all athletes need to prioritize their health and wellness to avoid extreme asymmetricals in their gait cycle (walking and running mechanics). Recovery is just as important as speed and strength training. I have been teaching individual/group baseball lessons and functional movement for over 10 years. I specialize in working with youth hitters and catchers. I have learned that you must be extremely careful what information is shared with younger players. They are super impressionable and one cue taken out of context can really mess with a child’s natural movement patterns. My goal is to provide feedback in a clear way so that the player understands the WHY. I am consistent on my journey of improving my movement mechanics and daily habits to strive for a pain free and surgery free life! At this point in my coaching career I feel confident in my ability to communicate what priorities are best to tackle first when it comes to working with athletes. Send me a message if you have any questions or would like to schedule a free 15 minute call.
