“With an energetic attitude along with undeniable charisma, John successfully transmits all of his knowledge to his students, helping them become better players after just the first session.”

“Since my son has been training with you I have seen a great transformation in him both physically and mentally. He has regained a confidence that I am not sure was ever as strong as it is now. His coaches feel that he could quite easily be the best pitcher in the league this year and can not believe the power he has. Watching him in his practices and scrimmage games it is hard not to see how advanced he is for his age group. His transformation has inspired everyone in our family to step up and be more active. I am very happy to see his dedication and I am extremely happy that we were able to connect with you. I do not think we would have had the same results with another coach.Again, I truly appreciate your work and energy and I thank you greatly for
helping.”

“Ryan's first season of organized baseball has been a great success with the help of Coach John. Supplementing his team practices with one-on-one personal instruction, Coach John's instruction has dramatically improved every aspect of Ryan's overall level of play from fielding/hitting to balance and getting his young body in position to make the play.
Seeing the great improvements in Ryan's play every lesson, his overall attitude, and most importantly the fun he is having, I highly recommend Coach John’s lessons.”

“I am so glad we found you to show my son that there is a lot of work to get to where he wants to go as you and your father did. I only wish I would have scheduled more lessons while we were in town giving you more opportunity to spread out the instruction. You covered a lot of information in a short 3 hours. I think you are doing a wonderful service for the game of baseball and your location could not be any better. Your ability to spot flaws in a player and convey proper techniques is a gift many people do not have, Including a lot of coaches! I would highly recommend your instruction program along with your presence at any spring training program to not only help the players but to help the coaches in their ability to do a better job.
I look forward to having you work with Chad more in the future and hope to see him follow in your footsteps.
Thanks again John.”

“John is a quality human being with a both a passion and a real gift for communicating the game and motivating performance. Last night my son was talking about him on the way home from school and he said “I really like Coach John. He made me feel special. He made me feel proud to be a baseball player.” I’ve seen a lot of guys do this stuff…John is the most all-around gifted individual I’ve seen. And he’s been around a lot quality baseball in his life; He has a heart for passing those experiences on to kids willing to receive them. Just a great human being.”
-Rich Bradley
“Since I’ve started working with John there has been a huge difference in my batting average. I had developed a lot of bad habits that I couldn’t pinpoint on my own and John, who knows what to look for because of his extensive experience, has corrected my swing and my stance and has given me a much better chance to succeed on the field. Working with him is a great opportunity.”
-CD
“My son has taken lessons from other instructors before but has not come away with the understanding and knowledge of how to implement what he’s learned. Just one lesson from John has helped. We plan on taking a full course of instruction from John. John likes baseball and knows how to convey this to his students, so they have the confidence to go out and perform at a high level. Thank you, John.”

“We have been spreading the word about the fabulous job you did with Brooks and Zach. My sons have never been THIS excited about spring coming.”
-Bob Hardway
“MY SON THIS WEEKEND PLAYED HIS FIRST AAU GAME. THANKS TO YOUR INSTRUCTION HE PLAYED PRETTY MUCH FLAWLESS BASEBALL. HE WAS ASKED TO PLAY 5 DIFFERENT POSITIONS IN THIS GAME. HE PLAYED THE OUTFIELD WHERE HE MADE 2 CATCHES, INFIELD HE PLAYED 3RD BASE AND SHORTSTOP; AT SHORT HE MADE A CATCH GOING BACK OVER HIS LEFT SHOULDER. HE ALSO PITCHED 1 SCORELESS INNING AND CAUGHT. JOHN HAS INSTRUCTED HIM IN ALL OF THESE AREAS AND WITHOUT HIS INSTRUCTION I FIRMLY BELIEVE HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE CONFIDENCE OR THE KNOW-HOW TO PLAY THIS WELL. HE ALSO WENT 2 FOR 3 BATTING WITH 2 HARD HIT LINE DRIVES TO RIGHT CENTER. IF YOU WANT YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER TO IMPROVE THEIR GAME JOHN CAN GET THEM THERE... I'VE SEEN THE RESULTS AND THEY ARE ASTOUNDING. MY TWO BOYS CAN'T WAIT UNTIL THEIR NEXT INSTRUCTIONS. THANKS JOHN.”
-Steve Norris
Excerpts from e-mails:
“[My son] went 3 for 3 last night and I can tell he is on Cloud 9. I see a huge difference in his attitude and obviously in his performance. You’re the man!”
“My son can’t wait for his next lesson. His coach moved him up in the lineup for the third time since we’ve been working with you.”
“I am throwing strikes much more consistently. I can tell my control has really improved along with my speed. Thanks for helping me out so much.”
