3 coaches for lessons in Gallipolis, OH

A former college pitcher turned coach, I bring firsthand experience and a deep understanding of the game to the players I work with. After an injury ended my playing career at Heidelberg University, I shifted my focus to coaching, starting as a student coach and growing into roles at the high school, summer ball, and college levels. My coaching style is rooted in my own journey: I emphasize the mental side of baseball just as much as the physical. I believe confidence, focus, and emotional control are key tools for success on the mound, and I work to help pitchers develop those skills alongside their mechanics.

With 30 years on the gridiron, I'm devoted to nurturing young athletes' skills. I tailor my coaching to individual needs, fostering both technical expertise and a lifelong love for the game. I am excited to work with the next generation!

I'm a 4.5-rated pickleball player and have been playing the sport for 10 years. I spent five years in Tampa, Florida, where I learned a lot of valuable skills that have enhanced my game. As a PPR-certified instructor, I'm excited to help you level up in this incredible sport!
