Coach Jake - Private Baseball Coach For Individuals, Groups, Or Teams
About
First Session is an evaluation, mixed with drills and game time situations to begin improving right from the start. A discussion with the parents/players will help customize the session plan(s) to the individuals certain needs and goals. From there we progress aggressively into catered session plans that utilize traditional and non-traditional practices per individual. I prefer to not waste time and get right to the point in our sessions.
My favorite thing about coaching is watching the students develop and grow. Really getting a chance to learn and put it to work in a game situation. Its really rewarding watching the "light bulb go off" when teaching to new students. I love helping people accomplish their goals.
