D1 Instruction

About

I am a U.S. special operations veteran and former collegiate baseball player. I played at the Division 1 level at Saint Joseph's University prior to enlisting in the Army and becoming an Airborne Ranger. I have a passion for teaching both fundamental and advanced baseball methods while simultaneously encorporating mental toughness and leadership lessons learned through military training and experience.

My LinkedIn profile can be found at: https://www.linkedin.com/in/douglass-licitra/

I specialize in hitting, infield, and baserunning technique with players ranging anywhere from little league to professional skill level. The facility that we will train at is state-of-the-art and will provide a great experience for both player and parent(s). I believe that it is important that all clients have tangible goals in order to aid in the player development process. I look forward to aiding all players achieve their fullest potential both on and off of the baseball field!

Doug coached my son in travel ball this summer. In the short time he worked with my son I noticed a change in his approach to the game as well as how he grew as a young man off the field. I believe Doug’s work ethic had a large part in my sons growth this summer and I would highly recommend him to parent who wants there child to grow both on and off the field. An experience I’m sure this years travel team will always remember him.

I liked that Coach Doug did not sugarcoat anything. He is straight to the point, and gives clear directions. He is supportive and pushes athletes to their full potential. His energy is infectious and is a true leader. Overall, Coach Doug is a very good coach and understands the limits when coaching an player.

Doug was my assistant coach for our 16u team, he was the best assistant coach I have had since I started coaching 7 years ago. He was very helpful with organizing the team schedule and managing communication from coaches to players and coaches to parents. He was a fan favorite with the players and parents.
He also brought a very effective practice plans that help developed sports specific skills, team building , and overall great team atmosphere.
There’s much more Doug did, overall he’s going to impact any player who he coaches, and he will bring the best out of them.

My son had the pleasure of playing for and learning from Doug this past summer (2021). He took over a team that in the fall was scattered and disorganized. From day 1, we knew it was going to be different. He was organized, ran excellent practices and demanded the best from my son and his teammates. I watched my son improve both on and off the field. My son left the summer both a better player and a better leader. Doug was always available before and after practice to work on things he had noted during the course of the season and I saw this both with my own son and with other kids on the team. His communication with myself and my son was second to none and I always heard back from him without delay. We are lucky to have had him this past season and would highly recommend him to anyone

Frequently asked questions

The most important aspect of a first session with a new client is two-fold. 1) Get acquainted with each other. Learning environments are most productive when both teacher and student are relaxed and understand each other's goals for the process. 2) Observational. Players are not going to become more talented simply after one training session. I will observe the current skill level and technique of the player prior to correcting or drastically altering anything. Improvement is a process!

From an academic standpoint, I have a Master's degree from Georgetown University in Sports Industry Management.

Athletically, I played collegiate baseball at the Division 1 level at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA. I have also been employed as a baseball coach and instructor by numerous organizations. 

I offer both 30 minute and 60 minute lesson plans. 30 minute training sessions are forty dollars, while 60 minute training sessions are discounted at seventy five dollars. As an extra incentive, clients who elect the 60 minute session will have the opportunity to incorporate a workout session inspired by workouts created by Army Rangers.
