More About Coach Jay
I am currently the head varsity baseball coach at Bellevue High School. This will be my fourth year at the helm. We have won double digit games in every year. I love what I do and love having the opportunity to teach the greatest game of all on a daily basis. I work with players of all ages and can provide perspective as a former college player and now high school baseball coach.
As a four year starting pitcher at Olivet College, I won awards such as team MVP my sophomore season and Rookie of the Year my freshman season. Before reaching the college level, I played on several travel teams in the southwest Michigan and northwest Indiana area. I understand the importance of individual instruction and how it can help you achieve your dreams.
Warm-up - Dynamic stretching, conditioning & agility drills
Throwing/Pitching - Short-work sequence for pitchers, long toss, PFP's & technique drills
Fielding Drills - Specific to position
Hitting Drills - Mix of soft toss, live batting practice, situational hitting drills, technique drills and tee work
We will also work on mental approach, scenarios, and intangibles included in becoming a better baseball player.

Ben (CoachUp client)
Strong first session with Coach Jay and my son, Troy. Coach Jay quickly identified focus areas and kept a nice flow to the session. On our way home Troy chatted about the session, asked to hit more at home and has been motivated to work on his game each day. Strong start!

Coach Jay worked amazingly well with my son. After our first session, my 10 year old had learned some great techniques and got excited about baseball again. It was great to see him smiling about ball again. Highly recommend coach Jay- very knowledgable.
Susan (CoachUp client)
Awesome session with my 13 y.o.- Jay is knowledgeable and my son found him easy to understand and felt immediately comfortable-
Deb (CoachUp client)
Coach Jay has been such a tremendous help to my son Jace. We are amazed at the improvements in his skills and love that he is also learning strategy and the mental side of this sport. Jay's coaching methods and encouraging words to Jace are motivating him to be the best he can be. We look forward to future sessions.
Hogan (CoachUp client)
Coach Jay did an amazing job working with my 10 year old son Hogan. He coached in a way that my son really understood what they were trying to accomplish. Hogan worked on hitting, fielding and pitching with coach Jay and you could see that my son's balance, technique and confidence got better in all three areas.
