Meet Our Coaches

Learn From Lived Experience.

Every coach at The Training Camp HQ brings collegiate and/or professional playing experience to the athletes they train.

There is a difference between knowing how the game should be played and having lived the preparation, pressure, routines and demands that come with competing at a high level. Our coaches use that experience to teach mechanics, fundamentals, baseball and softball IQ, athletic performance and the habits that help athletes continue developing.
