“Ed's lesson was quite good overall, especially since his advice was really helpful and to the point, which I appreciated.

Still, I’ll probably try Ed again because his straightforward guidance feels quite practical.”Amy C., student

“Nick was extremely patient and kind! I had a very specific thing I was looking for coaching on, and he was super knowledgeable. Despite it only being an hour, I felt like I walked away for sure with tools to help my throw! He had super useful exercises ready to run, and was nothing but encouraging and patient even as I fully made him run a ton/overthrew/poorly threw the ball. Would highly recommend!”Miya K., student

We host youth baseball camps with the players on the Los Angeles Dodgers. 2 years ago I also took up coaching with the Angeles as a youth baseball instructor.
