Great coach and has a lot of patience

We had a great introductory lesson with Chris. I'm looking forward to having him continue to work with my son on a regular basis

(no details provided)

Coach Chris has been beyond instrumental in our son’s growth in baseball. Jameson started with coach Chris in October of 2023 & not only has his skill developed beyond our expectations, but his confidence has increased ten fold. He absolutely loves going to each lesson & coach Chris has taken him from being a middle range player to being in the top parameters while still instilling fun into each lesson ensuring our son loves going every week. Beyond 5 star experience.

Coach Chris is an excellent coach and mentor. He has practically transformed my child’s throwing technique making him much more accurate and most importantly he has helped my child develop the mental strength needed to overcome all that pressure when he is on the mound.

We’ve had two sessions with Coach Chris so far. He’s kind and patient with my son, and has already fixed a number of issues with his technique. This is helpful for his ability but also, as Chris pointed out, important to prevent injury to his arm in the long term.

Coach Chris was awesome! My son is 8 and has been playing since he was 3. Chris really improved his swing and taught me the drills I need to work on with him. Highly recommended!
Thanks coach! - Bob

I would have to say Coach Chris is an incredible coach. He has broken down everything with extreme care to make sure you know what you need to fix and what to keep the same. Even though you are practicing, he tries to get to know you while ensuring you are still learning. He is very calm and does not get angry or frustrated at all. Coach Chris is also very good at what he does, whether it be pitching, hitting, or fielding. You will notice your skills start to improve after that first lesson. Overall, Chris is one of the best coaches I've had, and I highly recommend going to him. Whether you are a fantastic player or a starter, he will improve your child's baseball skills.

Coach Chris has been an incredibly positive, inspiring influence on our son. His coaching style, results-focussed approach and methodology are exactly the right recipe for success. He loves the game of baseball, has vast experience and knows how to connect to get results. His knowledge & strategy of arm care alone is priceless and incredibly important to a pitcher starting high school baseball.
Our son looks forward to every lesson (and so do we)! Keep up the phenomenal work Coach Chris!

Coach Chris is an amazing coach! After the first lesson we were impressed. Our son asked to continue seeing Chris for additional lessons. We’ve been taking our son for pitching lessons for a few months now. The time Chris spends working with our son has been invaluable. He has worked with our son on pitch selection and pitch location and have noticed tremendous improvement in our son’s pitching game. Also, our son sometimes doubts his abilities as an athlete, but Coach Chris has been kind in offering advice when it comes to the mental aspect of baseball and have noticed a boost in our son’s confidence. We’ll definitely be booking future lessons as our son continues HS baseball.

Coach Chris is an excellent coach for my 13 year old son. He is teaching him how to play third base and is starting to get some pitching lessons in. My son says that Chris is patient and very detailed when practicing. My son is playing his position with a better understanding of where to be and how to approach any given play. Coach Chris is very knowledgeable and knows how to get the most out of his players.

Coach Chris is an outstanding baseball coach. He worked with my 9 year old son on getting his arm throwing motion to a stronger and more healthy position. His pitching velocity has increased by 3-4mph and his accuracy is improved. thanks Chris!

We are extremely impressed with Coach Chris. We actually had a recommendation from a friend of ours to use coach Chris. We started a few weeks ago and have already seen a huge improvement with my son. He makes sure our son understands and he is very patient. He is very responsive and we are very lucky to have found him.

Our experience with Coach Chris has been fantastic. His ability to develop young athletes is remarkable, and he is able to evaluate and correct mechanics, while reinforcing positive behavior. We highly recommend Coach Chris to any youth baseball player looking for a dedicated and skilled coach.

Coach Chris was great taught my son may new skills on the field.

I can only say great things about Chris I’ve gone to a couple of different coaches. Chris definitely shines in his role. Not only does he teach proper mechanics he also teaches your child how to properly warm up which is huge to prevent injuries . In just two sessions I’ve seen such a huge improvement in my son and look forward to doing more sessions. I highly recommend Chris for his work ethic and patience.

I want to express my awesome appreciation of my experience with Coach Chris with how professional and personable he was in teaching and coaching my grandson. His knowledge and expertise was a excellent experience and will recommend him and the Coach Up organization to anyone who needs there help. Thank you again

Coach Chris has been amazing! He’s both patient and skilled. Our 11 yo has been playing for a while but was lacking in some areas. He’s provided him with the tools and strategies to play more confidently which has led to a more positive mindset. Definitely recommend him,

Colton is excited to work with you more!

Coach Chris is very patient, and kind. He was able to connect with my son to help support his progress. My son loves coming to sessions. His self-esteem has really improved since coming to Coach Chris

We have twin boys in little league. Coach Chris worked with both of my boys together giving them individual tips and they are applying the things they've learned from him in their games. I have referred him to some friends. I would request him again.

Coach Chris was not only great at teaching my 10 yo the mechanics of pitching but also maintaining a positive mindset while playing! Just 1 session and I already saw my son's mental improvement in the game as well as his defensive skills on the field. Definitely recommend working with Coach Chris!

Coach Chris has been awesome 🤩 My son enjoys practice with him You can definitely see a difference when he plays he puts everything Chris showed him into play ! This was just the 3-4 sessions so far and definitely see the improvement! Looking forward to more training with Chris 😊

Coach Chris is a great coach. He is passionate about the sport and coaches everyday. My nephew is working on developing his skills in the hopes to join a travel team. He is flexible when scheduling sessions.

Coach Chris was amazing!! He made my son feel comfortable immediately and made sure he warmed up properly. Something that was really important to me is protecting my sons arm and Coach Chris showed him wonderful recovery care. My son left the session more confident and eager for his next session. Highly recommend 10/10 !

Chris is an excellent coach!

After working with Chris for a year my 14 year son has improved mechanically and mentally. Chris is a very knowledgeable coach with a great work ethic and a positive attitude. With every lesson my son walks away a better pitcher and baseball player. It has been a pleasure getting to know Chris and working with him to help my son achieve his goals. We always enjoy his feedback after every lesson as he follows up to ensure my son understands what they covered. We plan to work with Chris throughout my son’s high school years and would recommend him to anyone.

Chris has been a great asset for both of my kids (ages 8 and 11) .. from the basics of throwing mechanics to the complexities of the pitching motion Coach Chris has been able to keep the kids focused and having fun.. All told we have had more than 25 lessons from Chris over the past year; throwing mechanics and consistency have improved dramatically. While our hour is typically evenly divided between throwing, fielding, and hitting, I particularly appreciate Coach’s willing to divert time to other focus areas such as quickness and agility. Most importantly, my kids look forward to each lessons and Chris makes the scheduling easy with his weekly messaging ..
I highly recommend lessons from Coach Chris for players of all levels ..

Coach Chris has become an essential part of my son’s baseball training. Not only has he helped him improve on his pitching mechanics but he works with him on the mental aspects of the game as well. He has become a great mentor to my son and it is evident that he truly cares about his success. I highly recommend Coach Chris to anyone looking for a coach that is professional and passionate about working with young players to improve their skills and confidence.

Awesome coach! My son enjoyed his first session workout and is excited to keep going. Chris has knack for explaining basic fundamentals and mechanics that my son seem to absorb quickly and enjoyed learning.

Coach Chris had 5 sessions with my 8 year old grandson. Taught him proper throwing form, footwork for ground balls and fly balls, catching, and even a little pitching. More than happy with the entire experience. Highly, highly recommended.

Coach Chris was awesome we’re excited to schedule our next lesson !

Great coach, wonderful feedback! My son is 8, won’t stop talking, and is in his first year of playing. Coach Chris was patient, kind, caring, and effective. Can’t wait until next session!

Coach Chris is the real deal. He's super easy to work with and our son really looks forward to their sessions. I can already see a difference in just the first 3 lessons.
Thanks Coach!

Our kids love Coach Chris. My boys have had two sessions with Coach Chris and have learned a lot. They are 12 and 10 years old and have been playing baseball for a few years now. Pitching, hitting and fielding techniques from someone who has played for years is priceless to the kids. Coach Chris is a wonderful Coach and we highly recommend him.

Chris was amazing, really helped our kid with his form after just a one hour lesson. Amazing coach!

Coach Chris has been an amazing coach for my son.Showing him the proper way to hit a ball to different sides of the field, pitching mechanics and some fileding work. Thanks coach.

Coach Chris is great my son really enjoyed the session and I can already see the improvements and development get better and better!

Coach Chris is very knowledgeable and motivating, can’t wait for our next session!

Coach Chris is excellent! My son has no experience playing baseball and from the beginning of the session my son has no idea how to throw a ball properly. Coach Chris guide him throughout the training and just for one session, he was able to throw properly and learn a lot of fundamentals. We are excited to have Coach Chris continue training my son.

We are very excited to be working with Coach Chris. He is attentive and offers a different perspective on building arm strength and form. Based on feedback from my kiddo he is a good listener and valuable in developing confidence!

My 9 year old son really enjoys practice with Coach Chris. Coach Chris has a great demeanor with him and shows good enthusiasm. Plus my son seems to be showing improvement. Very happy.

Coach Chris is awesome. Very knowledgeable and very patient. I have a first time player, 8yr old. My player never had thrown, caught or hit a ball. Now he’s playing second base, hitting and has even pitched in a game. It’s been a lot of work, but Coach Chris started with the fundamentals and built from there.

My son enjoyed working out with Coach Chris. Coach Chris is very knowledgeable.

Coach Chris is great! Connected with my son and gave great tips and insight for both batting and pitching. Looking forward to more lessons for my son

Awesome coach

Two of my other players had raved about Coach Chris so I came in with high expectations. My son Alexander went being a thrower to a much better pitcher in the course of an hour, with greatly improved mechanics. Very pleased!

Coach Chris is amazing! He has been so great for my son, not just for his pitching but his confidence as well.

Coach Chris was great! Our son really enjoyed their first session and was given useful feedback! We feel like our son already learned so much and we can’t wait to work with him again very soon!

Chris knew exactly what my son needed to get a deeper grasp of the game, techniques, and mental preparation for the pressure to come and how to navigate that. We walked away feeling much more prepared and back on track for a successful season. Thank you, Chris!

Very happy with how the first session went.

Coach Chris has helped my son with his body mechanics which is the foundation for longevity in baseball but also to increase power and flexibility.

Great knowledge of hitting and pitching mechanics. Great patience. Very positive experience for my son. We will book again.

My son really enjoyed his session with coach Chris, he feels he learned a lot and is looking forward to more sessions.

Coach Chris is patient and explains things in detail and the reasons behind his lesson method.My son has expressed nothing but good things after his lessons.

My 7-yo hasn’t played baseball for over a year due to the pandemic, so we started working with Chris to help him work on foundational skills. Even though we’ve only had a handful of sessions so far, we’ve already seen improvement, especially with his swing. I was hoping to find someone who is kind, encouraging, and works well with younger kids, and Chris is just that. My son has learned so much already and always looks forward to his lessons with Coach Chris.

Coach Chris is the real deal. He's got the experience and credentials. He helped my son with his hitting and mental approach. Also helped him with having a quick athletic approach to his fielding. I highly recommend Chris Danielson.

Coach Chris has been absolutely amazing. My son came back from elbow injury and seems to be getting back on track. Coach Chris has helped him with proper stretches and mechanics now he’s incorporating that and the different pitches he has learned into games.

My boys were excited after their first session, both boys were talking about the methods and how Coach Chris was able to communicate with them. He made them feel at ease and they were both excited for their next lesson.

It was very nice to meet you today. Adrián felt very comfortable with you and he is looking forward to many future sessions with you. You really made an impact on him today and I’m looking forward to watching his hard work play out on the field. Thank you!

My son felt very at ease and Couch Chris went right to work with helping him. We are looking forward to future sessions. Highly recommend

Coach Chris’s communication skills and ability to break down the basic aspects of pitching really help my son understand the position.

I have been so pleased with everything Coach Chris has been working on and the encouragement he gives my son. I can not say enough about Coach Chris, Not only is he extremely knowledgeable and passionate for teaching the game, he is very professional and reliable when it comes to scheduling and communicating with me. What an awesome coach and mentor to have for my son. We will train with Chris as long as we can and anyone who is looking for a baseball trainer and mentor should do the same.

Coach Chris was able to have impact in just one session. He was able to quickly identify two areas for our son to change with his swing. This led to some hits in his games which ultimately les to increased confidence with the bat. Thank you! Our son is looking forward to some more sessuins.
