Private Lessons & Coaches in Derby, KS

I played collegiate golf and am a PGA Certified Coach. I enjoy working with beginner to intermediate players and helping them build solid fundamentals, improve consistency, and gain confidence on the course. My goal is to keep things simple, positive, and easy to understand so players can actually enjoy the game while getting better.

With 18 years devoted to shaping young baseball players, I cultivate a passion for the game while fostering essential skills. I have pitched for the Newman Jets for the last 4 years and am about to start a 5th. I will coach wherever. Recently I have developed my knowledge in the likings of pitching mechanics and Rapsodo/Trackman data thanks to working with the Minnesota Twins minor league pitching coordinators. My tailored approach ensures athletes reach their full potential through focused training. Join me in elevating your baseball journey!

With three decades around the diamond as a player, coach and manager, I blend proven techniques with an individualized, player-first approach focused on personal growth and developing a passion for the game and success. Let's get to work!

After a long season of pitching at the professional level, I get right in to my off-season training. Part of which consists of identifying things I did well, and things I can work on to make myself better. When I give lessons to aspiring pitchers, that focus is the same. I work consistently with parents and kids to develop a goal that we’re all confident in and push towards making positive changes that will help them in the future. I take pitching lessons very seriously because I know that what I’ve learned has greatly helped me in my career, and I want to pass it on to the next generation of athletes.

"I’ve worked with Coach Engler for years, and I can say confidently he’s one of the best pitching coaches out there. His background as a professional baseball player shows in everything he teaches. He breaks down mechanics in a way that’s simple to understand, and He helps you build on your strengths with adjustments that feel natural and easy to apply. What really sets him apart is how well he teaches. He’s patient, clear with his explanations, and knows how to communicate with pitchers at any skill level. Every lesson feels intentional, and you walk away actually understanding WHY you’re doing something, not just what to do. If you’re seeking true development, a coach who knows the game, and someone who genuinely cares about helping players get better, Coach Engler is the one you want. Highly recommend.

With a decade dedicated to the gridiron myself, my goal is to now preach the game to athletes with the same dedication to unlock their full potential on and off the field. My coaching philosophy will blend strategic and motivator together, with a versatile training in a positive and engaging environment for nothing but growth. I want to be the coach to really make an impact on these players, boosting their skills and dreams whether it is playing at the next level or just becoming the best they want to be.

I've been working in the field of education for the past seven years, starting when I homeschooled my son for three years, for kindergarten through second grade, then as a reading support paraprofessional working with students from kindergarten through fourth grade for about a year, and then as a special education paraprofessional for seventh and eighth grade students. I'm finishing my Master of Science in Elementary Education and will graduate in May '27. I specialize in teaching ELA.
