 I aim to motivate and teach young kids the fundamentals, basic mechanics and overall excitement of the game. I focus on hitting, catching, throwing techniques, base running, bunting and the overall attitude it takes to play baseball and softball. I believe you have to approach kids with a players coach attitude. I teach them the importance and the fun side of the game. A positive attitude is what I teach and what I expect out of any and every athlete. I have found a love for teaching the overall aspect of the game and fundamentals of baseball and softball. I enjoy teaching kids the overall game of baseball/softball and watching them excel on the field through their play, effort and ATTITUDE. From this passion for teaching and mentoring young athletes, Training Camp For Athletes was created.

 For Boys ages 8-18
Each lesson can include any of the following Fundamentals:
Bunting • Throwing and catching the baseball • Hitting • Pitching • Base running (ie: sliding, stealing, and leading off) • Fielding and all defensive skills by position
These lessons will help improve the following:
Improve your defensive game • Increase your arm strength • Increase your bat speed • Improve your hand-eye coordination • Build muscle memory • Improve speed • Practice organization • Quickness/agility • Proper preparation • Balance
Through the use of my effective drills and proper techniques, players will enhance their hitting, fielding, and all around skills. This learning experience is designed to teach each player the techniques needed to build solid hitting, pitching, and fielding fundamentals that will insure success at every playing level.
Using my expertise as an amateur baseball coach for eleven years, and seeing kids struggle with basic fundamentals I started giving private lessons. My approach to hitting, pitching, and fielding instruction will vary depending on the player's age, ability, and the improvement areas that are observed in an initial evaluation. Help is available for both individual and group lessons for boys ages 8 to 18 that want to improve their level of hitting , fielding , and pitching.
