Jadd Schmeltzer

Cathy (CoachUp client)

Jadd tutored my 9 year old son and explained the fundamentals of hitting. They did different drills emphasizing coordination and timing. Jadd’s methodical approach to hitting highlighted form and comprehension of the swing. He also explained his process to me so I can reinforce the most critical aspects to me son. I would highly recommend Jadd to any parent looking for a coach to teach or fine tune his/her child’s baseball skills.

Jadd has a great way of showing high school age kids how to better there performance via his system. Would recommend for club or high school age players.

Jillian (CoachUp client)

My son had a great first session! He really enjoyed it and learned a lot of great skills! We are continuing our training and would highly recommend Coach Jadd!

Okjoo (CoachUp client)

My son really likes to learn with him. :) He is taking total 10h lessons during staying Irvine. I believe my son can learn better technique a lot through lessons by coach Jadd.

David (CoachUp client)

Coach Jadd is great. He really knows pitching and is a good coach for my 12u kid.

Steven (CoachUp client)

Our first session with Coach Jadd was very educational and fun for my 7 year old son. My son is shy out of the gate, but Jadd communicated great with him. He couldn’t wait to start his homework (drills) and is really looking forward to his next session!

Awesome guy and teacher for my 10 year old, Jadd has all the right drills to get you in the right positions and still be fun and enjoyable in the process.

Jeff (CoachUp client)

We just had a great first session with Jadd. Jadd was very patient with my son and was very creative in his teaching methods. He really made learning the ins and outs of the game fun.

Mike (CoachUp client)

Before the first session, he contacted me to go over what our goals were and what his approach was with certain areas so that there was no confusion on his approach during the session. During the session, he explains to me why he is about to do a certain drill, what he is looking for our son to do, and if needed, why he may not be using a regular baseball for that specific drill.

Our almost 8 year old has had a couple of sessions and is signed up for more. He is a bit on the shy side when he doesn't know someone, but Jadd has been able to get him to interact and provide feedback necessary to facilitate his ability to coach.

At the second session, I shared a video of my son pitching during his most recent game, and Jadd went to work on what he saw needed reinforcement/correction and adjusted his coaching plan accordingly.

Pitching is very technical, and there is a lot for a kid of any age to try to take in. With my son, he takes time to explain what they are about to do, gives an example, recognizes the good behavior, and uses an encouraging tone when needing to correct a behavior. Overall, great experience so far.

Aimee (CoachUp client)

My session with Jadd was absolutely great. He understood our time constraints and custom build an hour to best meet my goals. By the end of the hour I was pounding the strike zone, hitting his mitt, and snapping off effective breaking stuff.

Paul (CoachUp client)

Jadd is really great to work with. We focused on the fundamentals of my mechanics and immediately saw positive results from the changes. He's very knowledgeable and understands pitching better than most I've worked with! Highly recommend.

Kelvin (CoachUp client)

Really patient. Kept me involved, making the learning process easier by retaining more information faster. Significant improvement.

Tanya (CoachUp client)

My son loved Jadd. He is talented and patient and he helped my boy tremendously. Highly recommend!

Edgar (CoachUp client)

Coach Jade was awesome with my 9 year old son. He identified areas my son needed help with right away. He definitely knows how to teach the fundamentals of pitching. My son enjoyed his time with him and he looks forward on improving his game. We will continue to work with him and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone.

A w (CoachUp client)

Coach Jadd was a great coach. He immediately recognized my son's mechanical issues (both pitching and hitting). Presented helpful ways to correct them and did so in a fun manner. He is great with kids. My son said "he was really helpful." I would definitely reccomend Jadd as a coach. Super nice guy and really effective coach.

Elaine (CoachUp client)

Coach Jadd is awesome. He is very professional and knows how to train a kid. My son made a huge progress, learned a lot of skills, and got more and more interest in baseball. As a parent, I'm very happy to have Jadd as my son's coach.

Russell (CoachUp client)

Jadd has Avery advanced approach to coaching. But he takes the time to explain the why's and how's of both pitchng and hitting. My son is starting to believe even though some of what he is learning contradicts what he's learned in the past. That's because Jadd explains everything and encourages questions. Excellent and patient teacher

Brett (CoachUp client)

This review is easy. I had shoulder pain every time I pitched, even after 2 months of PT. I tried a session with Coach Jadd, and he instantly identified issues with my mechanics that were likely causing the pain. Throughout the hour lesson, we worked on several drills to help refine my motion. The following week I applied his changes and had no pain in my shoulder when pitching in a game. Simple as that. I plan to book many more lessons.

David (CoachUp client)

Jadd was awesome. In just a few minutes he had identified specific areas my son could work on to improve his pitching. We left our first session with exercises and tips to practice during the week. We'd definitely recommend him to others!

Soumitra (CoachUp client)

Great coach. Good techniques and works well with kids.

Craig (CoachUp client)

Jadd was great with my son! His demeanor was a breath of fresh air. Very knowledgable and ready with pertinent drills to develop his game.

Lexi (CoachUp client)

Jadd was very patient and so wonderful with my son. Working with him and evaluating him to continue to improve and build his confidence. Looking forward to the next lessons and keep coming back. We walked away knowing what I can do to help and what we will work on the next lesson with Jadd! Can't thank him enough!

Alexander (CoachUp client)

Couldn't have been any better! Great person who produces great results!

David (CoachUp client)

Had one hitting session with Coach Jadd and already saw improvement with my 10 yr old son. And most importantly, he really liked and responded well to Coach Jadd who had a great attitude and the approach I was looking for in a coach for my son. Needless to say, we're booking more sessions.

Louis (CoachUp client)

Thanks coach! We had a great session with you! You quickly examined my Sons play and identified areas to work on for which we are so grateful. We cant wait to get back out on the field with you!

Jay (CoachUp client)

Coach Jadd was extremely impressive in our first session, perfect demeanor and excellent teaching skills - my son showed improvement in already, we signed up for a bunch more

Andy (CoachUp client)

Jadd had a great presence and demeanor to work with a 10 year old. He broke down the elements of pitching and worked on the components before assessing the complete package. He was very knowledgable and provided guidance in an easy to understand manner for my son.

Santiago (CoachUp client)

Jadd is a great coach and a cool guy. Really helpful in teaching me the right fundamentals/mechanics. Easy going demeanor and good at communicating how to do things correctly.

Youjong(Felix) (CoachUp client)

Coach Jadd provided clear and correct coaching. Furthermore, when I asked question, his answering was so logical and clear. After I got coaching from him, I could not feel my arm pain any more. I recommend him if you are a pitcher.

Ed (CoachUp client)

We recently had our first coaching session with Jadd. He established an immediate easy rapport with my son (7 years old) . His style is fun but focused - he is obviously serious about using the time well and ensuring steady progress. We look forward to working with Jadd over the coming months.

Jane (CoachUp client)

Coach Jadd is thorough and patient with my 9 yr old beginner. We've had 3 sessions with him and would def continue working with him but unfortunately for us, he is moving to LA. My son has already displayed major improvements in his form and technique, coach Jadd is a great coach, my son really likes him. He's also very prompt to reply and easy to schedule with.

Colin (CoachUp client)

Jadd has worked with my 12 yo son for a weeks now, and already the progress is evident.
He quickly set about showing my son exercises to improve his control, which has always been his biggest problem.
Jadd interacts really well and my son always looks forward to the sessions.
Highly recommended!!

Catherine (CoachUp client)

Jadd was great with my 7 year-old son. He not only taught him good techniques but shared some baseball trivia with him and helped him understand what kind of major league player might be similar to his style given my son's size and speed.
Highly recommend - was prompt and very communicative.

Todd (Testimonial)

My sons experience with Coach Jadd was incredible. We can see the benefits of all that he is teaching him from mechanics to the mental approach of the game. Coach Jadd not only explains what exercises to do, but he explains why they need to be done and puts an emphases on how often they need to be practiced.
