Hart To Heart Coaching / Private Instruction
About
I have Coached for over 32 years in football basketball and baseball.. I am currently the head baseball coach at Burbank high school In Burbank California I am entering my 14th year as varsity coach.. I have current first aid and CPR as well as live scan clearance.. I have received instruction in coaching philosophy as well as administrative and coaching responsibilities .
The most rewarding part of coaching is watching young people develop confidence and understand that what they put in is what they get out of it.. the ultimate satisfaction for me as a high school coach is graduation.. as well as players that come back to me later in college and after that alumni games and communicate to me the lessons learned .. so for me it’s the love of the game but it’s also about developing character good work habits and a good sense of team
