More About Coach Christian Athletixx
In my 35+ years of baseball experience, I not only learned the skills needed to play professionally but also learned what coaching tactics work with different learning styles. I know how to prepare a player to move from little league to high school ball; from high school ball to college level play; and from college level play to professional ball. I've taken this knowledge and applied it throughout the years by training high school teams, coaching travel ball teams and providing scouting evaluations and recommendations to Major League teams.
My coaching style focuses on the most important aspect of the game; the mental game. The player needs to understand why they are doing what they are doing so that they are ultimately their own hitting instructor. I not only teach them the ins and outs of how to play baseball but I also show them how small adjustments can make a large impact.
My focuses are:
* build a relationship with the parent and player. Let them know I'm here to be a resource and an advisor.
* teach the player how to be confident in his playing ability and how that confidence can help take him to the next level.
* challenge each players skill sets through drills and training sessions.
My expectations are:
* a desire to learn, build and improve upon what you have already been taught.
* to be open to new thoughts and ideas on how to play ball.
* a willingness to use the information I provide and practice it in between our sessions.

Client Reviews
Craig Griffey - Griffey International Baseball Instruction, former Seattle Mariners player (Testimonial)
Working with Eddie has always been a pleasure. Not one aspect of the game he hasn't conquered at some point. From hitting, base running, to out field play and also the mental approach has always been top notch. One of the best instructors I've worked with! Really knows the game.
Orsino Hill - Los Angeles Dodgers, Area Scouting Supervisor Northern California (Testimonial)
For the past four summers I've had the pleasure of working with Eddie Christian coaching and giving baseball lessons to youth baseball players in Northern California. Eddie has a true knowledge of the game of baseball from a mental, physical and mechanical perspective. He has the gift that all coaches need. ... the ability to relate to players. His teachings are such that players from first year players to professional players understand his message. One of the most important areas most coaches don't address is the mental side of the game. I have talked baseball with Eddie hours upon hours and he has a true understanding of what a player should be thinking. His philosophy on hitting is spot on. I was hitting instructor for the Chicago White Sox and Eddie teaches much of the same mechanics of the swing we taught our minor league players. In closing Eddie Christian has the ability and the knowledge to get players better PERIOD !!!!
Darold T. Brown - Toronto Blue Jays, Area Scouting Supervisor (Testimonial)
Coach Eddie is very talented when it comes to the game of baseball in general. He has a keen sense of when to be aggressive and when to back off. Teaching hitting with aggressive intent is what makes Coach Eddie special. With Coach Eddie's eye for mechanics and judgment on make up, each player should become more improved physically, mentally, and emotionally. Every chance I get to talk shop with Coach, I know I become a much better scout..
Ryan "Rowdy" Tellez - Toronto Blue Jays (Testimonial)
He is one of the best guys I have ever worked with. He has taught me a solid mental approach and taught me how to attack that ball on every pitch. Everything he has to offer will get you to the next level.
