Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
First time students , are given a Eval/ assessment test on the skill that is being Taught.
Then a couple of drills to work out the kinks
and sent home with Homework to help build and drill the Muscle memory
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
i have studied baseball for over the past 27yrs and was invited to work in a facility after bringing my team and my nephew in. I have worked as a full time coach and instructor for the facility for 8yrs
The facility was wheelhouse academy of baseball but is now called 365 academy
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
My Normal updated rate is $75 per student per hr and $50 for half hr
How did you get started teaching?
I got started by going into the facility with my little league team , and the owner saw my passion and my ability to teach.. and asked me for a meeting, in this meeting he asked me if I ever thought about being an instructor, I was like, I just do it for the kids. He went on to say , I’ve been watching you and you have a way of teaching/coaching that I would like to bring in to my facility... I have been instructing since that meeting 9 yes ago
What types of students have you worked with?
I have work with as low as 4yr old
and workout with some prospects and pro guys
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
funny that you asked this question, as I just left an event in Atlanta Georgia MVP mentoring viable prospects Lots of AC MlB guys run the tournament with a lot of coverage from colleges and pro scouts
I’m also fond of Perfect game events
And also the Norcal World Series or there’s tons of coverage from division one schools and pro scouts
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone that can relate, that has passion and not in it for the money
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Depends on the age of the student and the skill level
Younger kids don’t understand the many components of a swing , so it would be hard for them to fully understand what they’re looking for
An older guy that has experience , can’t come in and say I’m wrapping too much or i’m not tracking the ball And we can work together to figure it out
