About
Focus, commitment to your cause and goals, and foremost effort. I do not believe you will find another coach that will work the way I will for you, your child, your plan.
What don't I love about it, It's doing what I love and have passion doing. There aren't many bad days. What I enjoy most though is seeing the faces of a student when things clique, it's a face that can't be faked or acted. When people learn their true potential it's magical.

Also in the same article expressing how Eaton's love for maitnance of the field was appreciated. Competing is in his blood still playing Competitive baseball, and bowling at the PBA level.

Daniel is an incredible baseball Coach. I was coached by him for more than 2 years and I would undoubtedly recommend him as a coach to anyone. His passion for the sport is evident and he keeps the sport fun but also instructive.

"Im just excited. One, to be lucky enough to work via a game I love. Second and my most important reason to help guys and girls realize their potential. Always kind of be in the guy that had to prove himself I enjoy Seeing other guys and girls excitement when that moment comes. With a little bit of a bias I usually take the side of the underdog."
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
Yes it is $75 per hour or $60 for a half hour I never charge for warm up or stretching. Only instructional times. And usually have no problem staying a little bit late.
How did you get started teaching?
Have always stayed near the game umpiring, coaching or playing. I love to see kids light up when they see their own potential.
What types of students have you worked with?
Mostly 13 to 15 year old boys and college young men. Also 10u to 12u girls softball.
For adults I've worked with all ages.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Napa Junior storm starting our new league and tournaments to give the kids a real educational and successful shot at doing something they love.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Look for someone who is going to hear your concerns and your direction. Every player is different. Not all players can be told the same tricks to help a defect or imperfection in mechanics. Some are implemented well some can’t be. So be open minded in your search and with direction they give you. Also a good teacher helps you grow as an individual too.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
A checklist of all questions so you don't forget to ask them.!!!!
