4 Baseball coaches & instructors for lessons in La Vista, NE

I have been around the game of baseball my whole life. From the time I was old enough to play t-ball to the time I was offered to play overseas. I have coached kids from various age ranges and backgrounds. I have learned different skills and ways of teaching from different coaches i have had throughout my life, and I have adjusted them to the type of player I am teaching. Im the type of coach that is going to push you into the best version of you that you can be. I have sent many players to play college ball, by just trusting in me, and my process, and by that I trusted in them.

Fueled by a lifelong passion, I've dedicated the last 2 years to coaching baseball. My focus is on developing well-rounded players through skill-building and a positive, fun approach to the sport while also staying competitive and focusing on the bigger picture.

For the last decade, I've had the privilege of guiding athletes to reach their full potential on the baseball diamond. My passion lies in fostering a love for the game while instilling the importance of teamwork, discipline, and sportsmanship. Let's step up to the plate together and knock it out of the park!

"Coach Will helped me develop my pitching and hitting abilities to help me advance to the next level and get me ready for High school baseball.

I have coached at many different levels (High School for over 10 years and Summer Collegiate for 2 years). Dedicated to nurturing baseball talent, I offer expert coaching for all skill levels. With a focus on fundamentals and strategic thinking, I empower players to reach their full potential.

"Losing is normally not a good measure of success. Last week, we lost to a good Lake Oconee team and unfortunately our season was over at (25-9). It's never what we want, when it ends before we want it to. Even so, this year was amazing! Two things: Your goals need to be unattainable. Your team needs to believe they are attainable. This team was pretty upset after losing out shy of their goal. What was that goal? Final four appearance or State Championship game. I didn't speak to a single person who believed that this team could do any of that. Several people said "we can make a run", but that's not a belief in what will happen. That's an open statement that leaves room for failure. I admit, I didn't believe we could win it all either. Even though people said this team hadn't played anyone or this team wasn't as good as their record showed, these kids believed it was doable. They believed with everything that they had, they were good enough. Any one who is not in pursuit of the goal becomes an obstacle. For example, me telling my son, "well, y'all probably won't go that far", might convince him that they aren't good enough. It's a mindset that negates team unity. I couldn't tell my son they weren't going to win. He knew they were going to. It became their mantra. It was their culture. You win when you expect to win. That mindset is not natural.It's developed. It takes a leader to instill that kind of confidence. Someone who has lived it and is mentally in that place all of the time. Enter Coach Seth Sitzman. I've been around baseball for 40+ years as a player, as a coach and a father of a player. I've never seen someone do it like Sitz. On the surface, he's pretty lay low. He doesn't like attention. He doesn't let just anyone in. He's hard to read. Almost everything opposite of me! Which, brings me to my point. Sitz did this far different than what I've ever seen or what I've ever done. He instilled a work ethic in every child that trusted him. (Notice I didn't just say "every child") I saw young ladies this year who didn't want to play softball in the weight room doing work. I saw those same girls in the off-season in the cages getting cuts in. Why? Sitz let them know that winning doesn't just happen because it has always happened. It takes you outworking your opponent and when your opponent is better, you work harder. In 9th grade my son was ready to quit baseball. It wasn't because a coach or what was in place already. It was because he wasn't playing. His 9th grade peers were playing and he was sitting on the bench. I told him, "Son, use the bench to make you work harder." His only thought process was, "I'll just play what I'm good at it." It wasn't about working harder. It was about being seen where he was. Where he was, wasn't good enough and that was it for him. This past summer Sitz challenged Brylan to gain 15 pounds from the weight room. Where I thought, "yeah right", Brylan thought, "Bet." At the beginning of this season, his junior year, Brylan weighed in at 20 pounds more than his sophomore season with pretty much 0 body fat. Which immediately impacted basketball as well as his year in baseball. Brylan made 1st team all region last year in baseball as a left fielder. He made 1st team all region in basketball and again 1st team all region in baseball from center field this year. I don't say that to brag on my son. I say that to thank Coach Sitzman for believing in my son. I say that to say thanks to Sitz for how he drives every single person around him to be better. My child is genuinely different because of Sitz. He loves baseball, but more than anything, he loves competing. Sitz challenged that without degrading him or embarrassing him. You can mean business and demand respect without belittling your players. I can only speak for what I've seen. What he's done for Brylan, he's done for hundreds of other kids. The smile on my son's face in this picture, is the proof of the confidence you bring to your players. I can't thank you enough Seth Sitzman for what you've done. These 2 years have been awesome! The conversations, the scheming, the memes, it's all been phenomenal. I can't imagine next year without your family in the building. You busted your tail on that field for those boys until the very last pitch! I commend you for that. I know that God will open a door at some point. You are meant to coach, so I know it's coming! My advice to you would be enjoy your family. Take in the quiet. Enjoy the peace of Jesus. The ride will sometimes be uncomfortable but it always levels out. I love you brother! I wish you well and I will ALWAYS be in your corner...
