About
As a former college player, successful HS coach, & Associate Scout w/ KC Royals, our training sessions will prepare you physically & mentally to take your game to the next level!
I have coached high school baseball for 20+ years, 12 as a head coach, in TN and AL. As a head coach, my teams have made multiple playoff appearances and had student athletes move on to play at every level of college baseball as well as professional baseball. I work mainly with middle school and high school players and above, to teach needed basic skills to advanced skills that will allow the student athlete to take his game to the next level.
I played college baseball at Samford University and the University of Alabama at Birmingham, as a pitcher and third baseman in the late 1980's.
I hold most of my lessons at Shades Mountain Park, in Hoover, or at Brookwood High School, in Brookwood, AL.
I am only available on weekends through Sunday, May 19.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
A new client session begins with a discussion of the athlete's goals and ambitions followed by a basic skill evaluation. I want to ensure that the athlete's goals are realistic and then create a plan to build the skill levels required to match his goals.
I believe in the power of fundamentals and the value of doing the little things correctly! Whether it be pitching, fielding, throwing, or hitting, we will work to establish sound fundamentals that will progress to intermediate then advanced skills.
Throughout our training sessions, I will stress the importance of a great mental approach to the game. I feel this is one of the most overlooked components of the game of baseball. I will teach you how to play the game in your mind and prepare yourself before it ever happens on the field!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I played college baseball at Samford University and UAB in the late 1980’s. I have coached high school baseball for over 25 years and serve as an associate scout with the Kansas City Royals.
