Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
When starting with a new athlete, I like to learn as much information about them as possible. What makes them tick, how are they best motivated, where they are currently, where do they want to end up? With this information we work together and create a plan to work towards what they are looking to do.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I earned both bachelor's and master's degrees in exercise science from West Chester University where I played baseball and ran sprint events (set a few records) on the track and field team. The time I spent time working with both the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Texas Rangers as a minor league strength and conditioning coach were tremendous learning opportunities and awesome experiences that have helped with the work I do today.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your lessons? If so, please share the details here.
I typically work in one hour sessions but can customize a package or plan depending on what you are looking for.
How did you get started teaching?
I got started in coaching while I was recovering from a shoulder surgery about fifteen years ago. I wanted to remain around the game while I did my rehab and I have been coaching baseball and speed training ever since.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with athletes across a wide range of ages, abilities and needs from 5 years old through college. I have experience running large group/camps and team activities, but also enjoy small group and individual sessions as well.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My daughter recently came home with a picture she made for me at school and I loved it. It made my day and was just awesome to see how proud of her work she was :)
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
1.) I believe that making a strong connection with whomever you choose to work with is incredibly important. Will they take the time to get to know you, find out more about you and what makes you tick? Figuring out the best match for you and how that person can help you.
2.) We cannot turn you into a big league prospect overnight. Realistic expectations and goals are important for both sides to have a grasp on so that everyone is on the same page
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
Think realistically about what your goals are for where you are at and then what your expectations from a coach will be
