Rogue Baseball - Jordan Serena

The first session is typically free of charge and used for evalutation. I like to see if the student will fit well with our processes and assess what we think the athlete needs to work on. Each subsequent session will build upon what we decide is best for the athlete to improve. Long term development is always the goal!

I have been coaching youth and college hitters for 3 years using the knowledge and experience I gained over a 3 year professional career and 4 year college career. I played every position at the professional level and and take that experience to pass on to a younger generation of players. I also have a psychology degree from Columbia University where I graduated in 2015.

The evaluation session is free. Each individual lesson is $80. We do offer a few discount packages.

4 lessons - $300

I've been teaching young players since high school. I loved working youth camps we would run for local players. I also had a few sessions 1 on 1 at a facility my brother was working out of. The curioisty for me continues to grow as I work with more and more players. I enjoy watching players actively participate in their own development and figure out what it takes to help each individual reach their goals. 

Most of my students have been between 12 and 16 with a select few younger players and a couple college aged athletes as well. I believe the teaching points for all ages of baseball players are largely the same, the method and language used between the ages is what chnages the style of coaching required to get the best out of them. 

At the end of the summer, I took over as head coach of Colorado Rogue 16u, our club team's younger squad. After watching them and being in the dugout for a few weeks before I took over, I felt a sense of uneasiness among the players, and especially the coaches. The teams success over the summer reflected this sense as well as their record was not great. After thinking it over and taking the spot as head coach, I realized the players somehow felt as if they were not allowed to be themselves on the baseball field. Over the next couple tournaments, we talked numerous times about them playing baseball as themselves and by themselves. What I meant by that was all of the work and preparation they had done prior to gametime was over was for that day and our jobs as coaches were done. Players need to learn that it is their at bat, their outing, their career they are practicing and playing for. 

The ideal teacher is someone who continues to be a learner. these types of coaches are good at understanding what a player needs, as opposed to coaching what they want to coach. A coach who continues to learn will always be able to adapt to new information or unexpected results that comes with the process of development. Also, I always pay attention to a coaches ability to converse with a player, as opposed to preach at them. Players are smarter than many coaches give them credit for, and bringing attention to the feeling a swing or new movmement he or she has improves their body control and self awareness. The more a player knows about himself and his abilities, the better off he is going to be when I am not there to bug him.
