Defenders Sport
About
As a former standout Division-I outfielder at Wright State University, I provide the resources to elevate ball players physical and mental skill sets to prepare them for in game success. I specialize in swing mechanics and teaching the mental aspects of the professional hitting approach. I have been providing private basic/expert (depending on age/skill level) instruction for athletes ages 5-18 for around 4 years and I am currently in charge of baseball operations for Defenders Sport LLC.
My passion for all things baseball started over 20 years ago when I first played the game! This passion has driven my hard work and dedication that allowed me to develop the skills and knowledge to be successful at the Division I level. As an instructor it is fulfilling to be able to provide a quality service that was not available to me growing up. I love the feeling of guiding young athletes in the quest to mold their skills the right way and reach their baseball goals!
