"Great coach. Takes the time to explain the rules and fundamentals.

Throughout my coaching experience, I have focused on delivering personalized instruction that meets each athlete’s unique goals and skill level. I design structured yet adaptable lesson plans that strengthen fundamentals, refine advanced techniques, and build game intelligence. Beyond physical development, I emphasize confidence, discipline, and a strong understanding of the game that makes for qualities that help players succeed both on and off the field. I saw 7 of the kids I coached play DI baseball and one get drafted - 13th round of the 2025 MLB draft.

I’m a former professional baseball player with 5 years in the Washington Nationals organization. I specialize in strength & conditioning, speed, and performance training. I help athletes improve strength, mechanics, and mindset to reach the next level through discipline, consistency, and real game results.

"Training with Coach Amparo has helped me improve my game in every way. His experience as a former professional player shows in every detail. He helped me get stronger, faster, and more disciplined. My mechanics and overall performance have improved a lot, and I feel more confident every time I step on the field. Coach Amparo pushes you to give your best and train like a professional, and that has made a big difference in my development. — Isaías
