More About Coach Kamakani

As the odds were staked against me because I was a shorter pitcher in Pro ball I found a way to use my whole body and get up to 98mph. All the knowledge I have learned over the years is from the many coaches that have worked with me. I want to share that knowledge with the younger generations to help them achieve their goals in baseball!

Coach Kamakani is really doing a great job helping young men like my son. My son was happy and comfortable and feels more confident after just 1 session with him. Definitely recommend him to everyone I know. Thanks Coach!

My son had a great first session with Coach K. He’s a very nice guy and my son quickly felt comfortable with his teaching style. He quickly pinpointed several mechanical improvements in my son’s pitching motion to improve upon. He did a great job of explaining the reason why he should pitch that way and helped my son understand how the motion should feel when done correctly. He’s working with my son to prepare for college recruiting. Really looking forward to our next lessons with Coach K.

Immediate improvement in my son's pitching motion. Very productive first lesson. Personable and positive coaching style. Highly recommend...

A big thank you for all the work you've done with matt. For his head coach to give him that kind of compliment makes me and mark really proud!!! :) Hope all is well in California.
Chris Pitched the whole game. 12-2 Bruins won! Mercy Rule. Thank you!! :) oops.... A BIG MAHALO TO YOU!!! Regina
BK threw a CG-2 hit shutout Frida night. Was telling me how much his lessons with you helped, esp with using the glove as a fulcrum to tilt backwards and then forward. Thank you again!!! hope all is well. Brian
Hi coach--just wanted to thank you again for your help with Peter. His middle school (Presidio) won the district championship last week and he pitched awesome thru 6 innings of the final game. We attribute to you!!! He may text you with a few questions about his offside :) Kristy
