More About Coach Chris

I believe in developing fundamental skills in baseball. Having a solid foundation early on in the sport not only provides players with an advantage over others who have raw talent, but it also serves as a great base for highly talented players that are looking to further their game.

My approach to coaching has always been to provide constructive criticism. There is no need for yelling or public humiliation. I am calm and level-headed with my players and feel that having an open, trusting, and respectful environment is what players respond to the best.

Each player is different so every session is tailored on what the player wants to improve on and what position they are in. An outfielder working on getting faster will have a very different workout than a catcher working on blocking.

I started playing baseball when I was 7 in 1993 and haven't stopped since. I've played at the high school level and continue to play to this day with an amateur adult team - Windy City Stars. I have experience in every position and a great understanding of the game because I've coached a little league team for 2 years and have been an umpire for ages 6-18 year olds for 5 years.

My son loved him and keeps asking when he has another "meeting" with him. My husband thought Chris had really helpful insights.

My 6 year old really enjoys working with Coach Chris and I saw improvement immediately.

Coach Chris did a fantastic job with my 12u son!! Chris straighten out his swing and showed him tips on playing 1st base. My son learned and enjoyed Chris' lessons! Looking forward to the spring to do another 5 lessons!!

My son really liked Coach Chris. We met up at a local park near our home and he was on time, brought his equipment and very attentive and listened to my son. He tightened up my son's swing, and introduced a step in his swing to help him swing his hips. He also straightened out my son's throwing motion to get more velocity and I can already see the difference. I wish we would have signed Chris up during the season because while his coaches were great, these small improvements would have really helped during the season and our Coach had 14 kids to coach so some of the little things were missed. We have Coach Chris for a few more sessions so plan on working on the things he taught during the summer and bring Chris back for next season. Thanks Coach Chris.

I'm speechless! There is just too much that I want to compliment Coach Chris on! My son loves baseball but has lost some of his skill and confidence. When the two met, I could feel the baseball passion they shared between them. Thanks Coach Chris!!

Coach Chris is great. He is approachable, patient, knowledgable and enthusiastic. My 7 year old learned new skills out of the gate with Chris's approach and feedback. Chris follows up immediately with feedback from each session. His assistance is definitely helping my son with his game. Would absolutely recommend Chris!

Coach Chris is not only an excellent coach but great with kids and getting them very comfortable with him. I'm extremely happy we found him!

Coach Chris was awesome with our son! Explained step by step what he was teaching.

Coach Chris is a very great and thorough coach. After just one lesson, my son learned how to improve his technique and gain confidence. He is highly recommended!

My 9 year old grandson just had his first baseball coaching session with coach Chris on the way home he could not stop talking about how much fun he had. He has been playing football for the past two years and this was his first time playing baseball. Coach Chris was energetic, humorous and very knowledgeable about the different mechanics of playing, in our case hitting and throwing. Needless to say we will definitely be back for more coaching.

Coach Chris has been a big help in getting my son, who is new to baseball better quickly. He is quick to spot fundamental errors and fix them right away. Good with kids too.

Felt that Coach Chris has a good knowledge of baseball and is positive and encouraging and will make a difference in my sons game.

Coach Chris is an excellent coach, he really got my son excited about baseball. They worked on everything together including terminology. We're really excited about our next session

I have dealt with many coaches in the last five years or so but coach Chris sets the bar high. Coach Chris is knowledgeable, patient and relentless. he instills new good habits and helps to get rid of the flawed ones. after few sessions with my son I noticed a dramatic change in my sons skill level and his attitude toward the game. Thank you Chris.

Chris is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable coach. After the first session, I saw an immediate improvement not only in the tactical skills he worked on with my son, but more importantly, in my son’s confidence. My son really likes the way that Chris teaches – concrete advice, the interaction, pointers and “he’s a lot of fun, too!” He coaches specifically to my son on his level, teaching him fundamentals for success in an extremely positive environment.
I appreciate the one-on-one attention to skill-building and the positive and constructive feedback given. My son has so much fun and looks forward to the sessions with Chris. “How many days until my coaching session?” is a frequent question in our household. I would recommend Chris quite highly.
