I like to focus on a players RAW ability at first to get an idea of what feels the most comfortable for the athlete. We then incorporate some drill work, flat ground work and mound work. Not every session will include pitching off the mound (this is to help the athlete develop off the mound). I believe the mental side of the game can help elevate any player at any level. At the end of the lesson we will go through an arm care program. This is to help educate the athlete on how to take care of the prized arm and what the purpose of it is for.

Musa (CoachUp client)
Best coach ever, very experienced and talented. Every session is worth it.
Andrew (CoachUp client)
Coach Hansen was very easy to work with...in my first session, he was able to check out my delivery and start working on drills to get my velocity up. He has a lot of experience and knows the game at a really high level. I look forward to working with him and getting to the next level in my development.
Nestor (CoachUp client)
Very helpful know how to create a work method will go to again well worth it.
Janice (CoachUp client)
This was my 9 year old sons first time with a one on one coach and he loved it it. I really liked that he showed my son easy stretches and exercises that he can do at home daily to improve and strengthen his arm. My son left counting the days to the next session . An easy decision to book again! Thanks Coach!
