More About Coach Elijah
I am a meticulous, energetic and passionate professional baseball player who is seeking employment in an area that I love. I have played the game since I can walk and want nothing more than to make a career out of it. I have played four years of college baseball, two at Bakersfield Community College and two at NCAA Division I Campbell University. Additionally, I have played two seasons in the Frontier League professionally. My passion for kids and for baseball drove me to pursue private training. In the past, I have coached a fall ball travel team. More recently, I have trained over twenty clients in the past year at a private facility named The Hack Shack in North Carolina. The age range I typically train with is 8-18. I have found that using my video analysis and professional drills, has expanded my customer base.
-Gold glove recipient for my Bakersfield College baseball team in 2012.
-Full NCAA Division I Scholarship in 2012 (Campbell University).
-1st Team All Big South performer in 2013.
-First Regional win in school history and participation in the NCAA field of 64 in 2014.
-Professional baseball in the Frontier League Independently in 2014-2017 (4 Seasons).
Typically, I will assess a client on the first session with athletic ability first and foremost. We will stretch and get loose and then warm up off a batting tee. Once properly warmed up I will walk thru the dynamics of a proper swing and the main points high school and college coaches want to see from young players. I will then video the client's swing and be able to compare it to that of a professional and make adjustments. I only make adjustments that feel natural, comfortable, and make sense to the client. If they don't understand right away, we continue to work on ways to improve and drills that break down the certain function. Tee work is most important to me; I believe a hitter's best tool is a tee. A hitter can't have all the success they dream about on a 90 mph fastball if they can't perform off the tee. My sessions will also include front toss, side flips, and live batting practice. Each session will conclude with an overview and drill work for the week at home.

Jennifer (CoachUp client)
Coach Elijah was able to help my son so much with his batting in just one hour. Looking forward to more sessions!
Rebecca (CoachUp client)
Coach Elijah was great at coaching my 7 year old son just starting to be introduced to Baseball. He was patient & kind but also clear & concise in his direction. Thank you!
Philip (CoachUp client)
I am a 19 year old professional cricketer from the UK and have always had an interest in baseball, albeit from afar. I decided to take some baseball lessons when visiting Florida recently and was lucky enough to come across Elijah Trail. From the get go Elijah came across as a polite, well mannered and extremely knowledgeable coach. The manner in which he is able to impart his knowledge is a real gift, and the enthusiasm with which he goes about his business is contagious. I learned more in 2 weeks than I ever expected to and am keen to continue my interest in baseball when I next return to Florida through Elijah. Thanks once again Elijah, great job!
David Ward / Client (Testimonial)
My son began working with Elijah last season, and it was a great experience. He learned so much in a short period of time about reading pitches, fielding, and the importance of batter stance. Elijah's positive attitude and encouraging way with kids make him a great role model for baseball and for life. I highly recommend him as a coach for any age.
Rodney Swarms / Owner of The Plumbing Knight & The Hack Shack (Testimonial)
My name is Rodney Swarms and I am 51 years old living in the Pinehurst, NC area. I am a Husband, Father, Coach, Teen Youth Leader, and a Business Owner. I wanted to take a few moments and speak about Elijah Trail and who we know him to be. Our family met Elijah a little over a year ago through some mutual friends. We were immediately impressed with his manners and the way he handled himself. I believe Elijah was 22 at the time. To have a young man act the way he does is a rare treat. Elijah had come to the Hack Shack to do some personal drills and he hit it off with my oldest son Gabriel, who is 11 years old. Gabriel immediately grew very fond of Elijah and the way he talked and treated him. Elijah treated him with respect and you could tell he cared about Gabriel from the first moment. This is what impressed us most about Elijah as a person. Kids flock to him and teenagers as well. Elijah tutored Gabriel and several other young men over a 6 month period. Gabriel’s baseball IQ and skills exploded. The reason for that is that he wanted to learn from Elijah. Gabriel is only one of a dozen or more boys who Elijah worked with, all with the same results. Elijah’s baseball IQ speaks for itself with a resume of Campbell University and two years with the Rockford Aviators. IQ is one thing, but being able to take that knowledge and impart it to youngsters is a gift. Elijah has that gift. Elijah is prompt, courteous, a hard worker, and dependable. I would highly recommend Elijah for anything that had to do with kids and baseball or any other sport. We have grown to love Elijah and feel blessed to have met him and spend time with him. We consider him part of our family.
