"His positive attitude really stood out in the lesson, and I appreciated how approachable he was. Though better serves and backhand technique could improve my game, I left feeling more confident. Still, I think with focused practice, especially on those areas, I’ll see even more progress. If you want a laid-back, encouraging lesson, Rich might be worth trying.

Hi! I’m a former D1 pitcher with a passion for helping the next generation of players find their rhythm on the mound. I played my high school ball at O'Dea, where I was named Metro League Pitcher of the Year and set the school record for the lowest ERA in a single season. After a major injury, I had to work my way back to play five successful seasons at the University of Portland. That experience taught me everything I know about mechanics, recovery, and staying positive when the game gets tough. Whether you are just picking up a ball for the first time or looking to sharpen your skills for high school, I’m here to help you build confidence and have fun while doing it. Let’s get out there! I specialize in pitching and infield defense, but can also coach hitting. I love teaching kids of all ages at any skill level!

I’m Wayne Mendezona, Head Men’s Basketball Coach at Corban University and founder of Quick Handle Basketball. I’ve spent over 30+ years developing athletes and have trained more than 50,000 players—from youth to college and professional levels. I specialize in ball handling, scoring, and game performance—helping athletes build confidence, decision-making, and real in-game results. My training is not just drills—it’s about developing complete players who can perform under pressure, think the game, and separate themselves from the competition. I don’t train average. I train athletes who are serious about growth, discipline, and competing at a higher level. If that’s you, let’s get to work.
"My son said Coach Mendo was far and away the most effective coach he's ever worked with! His knowledge, tools, and willingness to share wisdom are incredible. I've never seen my son so impressed by a coach or heard him so enthusiastic about what he learned in a session. Very grateful!
