How did you get started teaching?
During my professional offseasons, being up at the cage was a daily routine so it was natural for me to give lessons. I also helped coach several select travel teams around the area.
What types of students have you worked with?
I work with all ages from current collegiate players to 8/9U.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My very first catching student signed his letter of intent Feb 3, 2021 to play at Ottawa University in Kansas. Being my first student, it was amazing to see the young man grow and develop in baseball/life. The challenges of trying to physically and mentally better another young catcher is rewarding.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
1) Find someone who has a solid baseball background and is passionate about what they do.
2) Understand that consistency and perfect practice will develop your skill set, but your effort level has to match/exceed what you think you are capable of exerting.
3) Ask questions (Who, what, when, where, and why) and if you don't understand, make sure to communicate the misunderstanding.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
What are your personal goals & what areas of your game do YOU need to improve?
