About

I have over 25 years teaching both the mechanics, techiniques and the mental approach to proper pitching.

II have beenb fortunate enough to have experience working with tens of thousands of youth baseball players.

I was the provider of the official youth baseball camps of the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Washington Nationals, Chicago Cubs, and Atlanta Braves.

I played and coached at Amherst College, earning MVP honors as a two-year captain.

I had the honor of working in Major League Baseball with the Boston Red Sox and the Cleveland Indians as a scout in the Front Office of their respective Organizations.

Latly, I am the Chief Strategy Officer and on the Board of Showball Baseball (www.showballbaseball.com), the nation's #1 showcase camp and platform to help high school student-atheletes gain exposure in front of college coaches.

Lastly, I host the podcast for coaches, parents and student-athletes: Who Are You: The Life Lessons of Sports (availabe on iTunes/Podcasts App or any other podcast app). If you want to learn more about a team I have coached / am coaching please view my team goals and philosophy here:

My number goal one when working with any youth player is to: a) build a strong and trustworthy relationship, and b) build proper mechanics, strong muscle memory, a positive and clear mind, and a most importantly a healthy body (arm - especially in baseball!). c) Ensure that the player is enjoy himself and becomes a student of the game because he loves to play and learn. Lastly d) challenge players to utilize their abilities in a way where they are improving every day, practice, week, game, and overall, every season.

    Frequently asked questions

    Every athlete is different. This all needs to be discussed to effectively understand  both the mental and physical abilities of the student-athlete.

    Beyond mechanics, I work with players to establish self-esteem, confidence, and pride for the work and effort they put forth when working with me.

    It depends on a variety of variables. This is to be discussed.

    I played through college.

    Worked in MLB.

    Coached tens of thousands of kids ages 5 to 18 for over 25 years.

    Every level.

    Make sure the teacher is focused on the effort and mechanics more than the results. The results are a byproduct of focus, dedication, proper mechnics, and a great mindset and approach.

    All athletes should ask the coach two questions:

    1. What is your philosophy on teaching (not coaching, but teaching) the game?

    2. How many of your players stay in touch with you after your coaching relationship ends?
