Conder Baseball
About
I have been in and around the game of baseball for 30 years. I have learned from and spent hundreds of hours with MLB players, minor league players, college players persoanlly talking about baseball.
I have studied this sport and continue studying everyday. I am more of a fielding (infield) specialist but have the ability to coach around other areas of the game. However, I am not a pitching guy beyond little league.
I have been coaching travel baseball in VA and NC the last 9 years ages 13-17. The last several years I have also volunteered for my sons little league team (he is 8). My baseball mentor is an assistant coach with a top D1 baseball program.
I offer not only baseball coaching, but strength & conditioning and mindset coaching. I am a certified personal trainer and life coach in addition to a baseball coach. I just love to coach people!
My purpose in life is mentoring young men and coaching grown men. I look forward to coaching you or someone you care about.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to schedule a 45 min phone call to get to know each student and their specific needs to make sure it's a good fit. I am not looking to just work with anyone and everyone. I want to work solely with those individuals I can make an impact and unlock more of their potential.
From there, we agree on an amount, structure and duration of contract (or pay in full, no contract-discount applies). I accept several different digital payment methods (paypal, venmo, cash app, etc).
After that, I draw up the plan and we as a team execute it. The student shows up ready to work every time we are together and I do the same. I also provide support between sessions if needed.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have studied the game of baseball and the best that have played it for 30 years. I have coached it for almost 10 years. I have been in D1 college dugouts, practices, meeting rooms. I have been in minor league clubhouses. I have had meals with MLB players.
So while my own playing career ended after HS, that is moreso my loathe of school than my ability/knowledge of baseball. Realistically, I had D1/D2 college talent but would not have gone past that. Unfortunately I didn't have college grades and I didn't want to put in the work to get them. I use this life lesson a lot in my coaching.
