Coaching starts at the individual level and based on the current skill level.
However, my overall coaching philosophy uses a Double-Goal approach, where the focus is on hard work, fair play, teamwork, resilience, gratification, and how to compete fiercely and with class. While understanding that words and actions - even a single word or single action - good or bad, might be remembered for a lifetime.

Coach Bob was fantastic with Leila, I already saw improvement in her first lesson even with the heat being 118 degrees. I am excited to see what she can do after she completes her other lessons. He is very patient and easily demonstrates the proper ways of playing.

Within 5 minutes he had identified my 11 year old daughter's mistakes and began drills to improve. 10 minutes in she was throwing and catching like a different person. Her confidence went through the roof. Definitely worth the time and money. We will continue to use Coach Bob!

Coach Bob gave our daughter some great instruction on her throwing and hitting.

Awesome coaching! My daughter learned a lot!

Awesome Experience.....

Coach Bob was great right from the beginning I seen we made. A great decision for our daughter...he is great and would recommend him to everybody...

We’ve only had one session with Bob, but what a positive one! He is encouraging and mild mannered in the best coaching way. My daughter is very timid and took to him easily. We look forward to more sessions.

Great coach. Breaks everything down into steps

Great coach, knows his stuff! Really helping my daughter in multiple aspects of the game, and an all around nice guy.

Great first impression! Willing to listen to the player but at they same time give them the direction they need.

Coach Bob is phenomenal! He has the passion for softball and I appreciated his approach with my 12 year old on our first session. She wanted to listen to every pointer he gave her, on the way home she bragged about techniques Coach advised for her to follow and can't wait for future lessons. I wish we didn't wait so long to reach out and schedule our lessons.

Coach Bob is doing an excellent job building strong fundamentals for my 9 yo old.

Coach Bob was awesome. He fixed some bad habits my daughter picked up somewhere along the line. He explained everything in a detailed manner that she could understand. I am very impressed with his knowledge and the fact the he is able to have the athlete apply it in a practical manner. Kaylee is looking forward to many more sessions with coach Bob in the future!

Coach Bob responded quickly and professionally. He was able to meet with my child within our scheduling needs and he was very helpful. His coaching is very detailed, he is very patient, and he is very knowledgeable. We look forward to working with him again.

Coach Bob IS a fantastic coach! We selected Coach Bob from a number of Personal Coaches for our 16 year old granddaughter, looking to improve in her game and prepare for the next step in her softball experience. It was the BEST decision for all. He is extremely patient and balanced in his program, balances each session with all aspects of the game. I would highly recommend Coach Bob, for all ages of athletes looking to improve their performance and knowledge in the Softball world. Did I mention he's a great guy?!

To say that Coach Bob is amazing is am understatement. Our daughter transitioned from recreational ball to fastpitch club softball about 5 months ago. She was struggling with batting and was a little intimidated by the speed of the pitches. In a matter of just a couple of sessions with coach bob, her batting improved drastically! She has been making contact every time and hitting them to the outfield. Coach Bob is patient and just a great instructor overall! My daughter looks forward to every session with him and leaves every session saying that she learned so much. I 100% recommend Coach Bob to anyone looking to learn, improve, grow, and just become a better athlete overall! THANKS COACH!!

Bob has a process when he coaches which seems to work with my daughter.

I'm amazed by the improvement after just one lesson! We left our initial lesson and my daughter said she felt more confident and learned so much. She can't wait till her next lesson!

Coach Bob was great with my daughter. The way he breaks down the steps for hitting and pitching are great. Its very easy to understand and my daughter is super excited to be working with him!!

Best decision hands down. Coach Bob has in two sessions significantly improved my daughter's game. So glad we took the chance to meet up with him for private lessons as it's paid off 10 fold.

Very instructive and helpful. Easy to talk to.

Coach Bob was quick to address issues that I had and immediately offered ways to improve those areas. In one short session I had tools to improve my game. Not just talk, but physically put me through paces and evaluated what I was doing. Will happy to schedule more time with him to further improve my game.

I highly recommend Coach B, his instructions where clear and precise. Also, he was able to show us drills to help my daughters batting and throwing. Within minutes he was able to show my daughter the correct way to throw the ball and catching techniques. My daughters told me when we got into the truck that Coach B was nice and he explained things well. We are difinetly using him again and highly recommend him..Thanks Coach B!

Coach Bob is a very knowledgable coach answered all of our questions and very easy to understand thanks coach.

Currently playing coed softball for fun, but hadn't played in 20 years. Bob took me back to the basics and helped me develop into a better player by teaching good/proper techniques, step by step. I get compliments all the time from fellow players on my growth and improved skills.
