Client Reviews
Mayra (CoachUp client)
I really appreciate the way Coach Akeem identified the mechanical issues early and took the time to explain and demonstrate proper arm path and lower body usage to my son. His positive coaching approach and attention to healthy mechanics give me a lot of confidence in my sons development. We’re excited to keep building on the progress he made today with his guidance.
Lina (CoachUp client)
Thank you so much for the time and effort you invest in my son. It really shows how much you care, and we appreciate the way you work with him one-on-one. Your patience, guidance, and commitment are making a big difference, and we’re grateful to have you as his coach.
Thank you for everything you do.
Anderson (CoachUp client)
We couldn’t be more grateful for Akeem!—his patience, calm demeanor, and true Southern gentleman style make every lesson such a positive experience. As a former Astros pitcher, his knowledge is incredible, but it’s the way he connects with my 9-year-old beginner that really stands out. He builds confidence while teaching real skills, and my son looks forward to every session. I truly cannot say enough good about this man. Worth his weight in gold.
John (CoachUp client)
Coach Akeem takes the time to break down batting mechanics and provides an explanation of real-world game-time adjustments and strategies. He is super positive and provides understandable feedback and tips for training. As an athlete getting ready for college-level play, Coach Akeem's training style is really valuable.
Yoselle (CoachUp client)
We’ve had an amazing experience with our son’s baseball coach Akeem. For a 1st grader , it’s so important to build both skills and confidence at this age, and Coach Akeem has done exactly that. He’s incredibly patient, encouraging, and knows how to connect with young players in a way that keeps them engaged and excited to learn. Practice was positive, structured, and fun. Coach truly cares about his development and celebrates his progress. He focuses not only on mechanics but also on mindset, sportsmanship, and love for the game. It’s clear he genuinely cares. My 1st grader looks forward to his next lessons! If you’re looking for a coach who makes a lasting impact, this is the one!
Michelle (CoachUp client)
Coach Akeem is an exceptional coach for any young athlete eager to learn, develop strong fundamentals, and build a true love for the game of baseball. His attention to detail and commitment to proper technique, skill development, and injury prevention set him apart.
After just one lesson, I noticed a significant improvement in performance and confidence. I highly recommend Coach Akeem to anyone looking to take their athlete’s game to the next level.
