My hitting sessions focus on developing the proper body mechanics necessary to be a successful hitter. My human movement swing development program breaks down the principles of hitting and builds a swing from its foundation. My swing program will allow hitters to revisit their swing at anytime for maintenance or build a solid, elite level swing from scratch.

Client Reviews
Steven (CoachUp client)
We just finished a session with Coach Chris and we couldn't be happier. He did an excellent job of explaining things to my 8 year old. More importantly, my son very much enjoyed the lesson with Coach Chris. Highly recommend!
David (CoachUp client)
Over the first two lessons, I can see Coach Chris adapting his teaching style to my 8 year old. Coach knows what he’s doing and is implementing it so a young baseball player understands and learns. He’s great. I’ll be updating this review throughout my son’s progress.
Angela (CoachUp client)
Coach has been a pleasure to deal with and responds to messages quickly and answers all my questions. My 10 year old son felt he learned a lot after just one session and is looking forward to continuing his training with him. Coach was friendly, knowledgeable and patient.
John (CoachUp client)
Excellent Coach! Coach Waye really has a talent of explaining and breaking down the techniques and instructions in such a way that it was easy for my 7 yr old son to grasp. My son really enjoyed the lesson as is looking forward to his next scheduled session with Coach Waye!
Milton (CoachUp client)
Had our first session with coach Waye and he was awesome! Going to continue getting instruction from him.
Nancy (CoachUp client)
Very patient coach who clearly knows softball. Easy to talk to. Would definitely recommend.
Karen (CoachUp client)
Coach Wayne was patient and knowlegeable and my daughter felt she got better with every swing. They connected right away and she is looking forward to more lessons!
Tina (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant with our son. He offered plenty of tips and tons of feedback in just one session. He was able to keep our 7 year old engaged in the session and had him swinging harder than we've seen him swing before. We look forward to future sessions.
Jesus (CoachUp client)
Great coach , in a session he helped me practically fix one of my major problems looking forward for more lessons!
Anna (CoachUp client)
We are very impressed with Coach Waye. He's incredibly responsive, professional, accommodating, and friendly. But more importantly, he is terrific with our young son - so patient, enthusiastic, and encouraging. We've been trying to introduce beginner baseball skills only to be met with frustration and whining. What a difference to see our son's happy face, motivated by his progress, after his first session with Coach Waye. It is obvious that Coach Waye is passionate about the game, and has the experience and skill to meet a child at her/her level. We will be signing up for more 1:1 lessons to help teach our boy that the game should first and foremost be fun!
Lawrence (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris was great. He worked with my 10-yr old son on pitching mechanics and how to protect his arm as well as hitting fundamentals. He was very knowledgeable and personable. My son was really excited about everything he learned and could not wait to go practice everything the very next day. I highly recommend Chris as a coach.
George (CoachUp client)
Coach Waye is very knowledgable- particularly in advanced hitting. I never realized the amount of mechanics that went into the perfect swing. The bottom line is I learned more things in my first 1 hour session than I ever did playing pickup games as a kid. We even bonded over the neighborhood we both grew up in. Looking forward to my future sessions!
Selene (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris was great with my 8 year old son. He brought a ton of equipment with him and was really sweet and encouraging. My son picked up a lot in just one hour. I highly recommend him!
Anthony (CoachUp client)
Coach Chris was a pleasure to have as a trainer. My son really had an easy time understanding the teachings and techniques that were being used. I would highly recommend Coach Chris and will be booking more sessions. Two Thumbs Up!
Bruce (CoachUp client)
I knew that Chris was going to be a great coach for me when I first signed up for a pitching lesson through CoachUp. Chris made sure that our scheduling was carefully coordinated, and he provided me with a list of expectations for our lesson. When we met for the the lesson, Chris helped work on my off-speed pitches: the change-up and slider. He was able to help me cultivate these crucial auxiliary pitches by introducing two main tips: finger pressure and arm alignment. Chris has the rare and incredibly beneficial capability to explain baseball in an intelligible and simple manner. Having played and studied the game extensively, Chris was able to answer all of my technical questions in a clear and straightforward fashion. Chris Waye is encouraging and effective in making a difference in one's game; even during a single hour-long session. I highly recommend scheduling a pitching (or hitting) session with Chris Waye. 10/10!
D. Aronica (Testimonial)
If you can have Chris Waye as your coach, you are extremely blessed to have the best coaching you could ever hope for. I wish I knew them when my older son first started travel baseball. Besides being a ball player himself, his knowledge, skill, experience, and passion to develop kids the right way is like nothing we have experienced before, and we've had a lot of coaches between my two sons. My son is so happy and dedicated to learning everything he can under him. I have seen him develop so quickly, and he has become a smarter player, quicker on his feet, faster hands, much better baseball IQ, and a better hitter. Chris is the best on the Island, and you will not find a more devoted coach to work with to develop your player.
