Client Reviews

First time using coach up and really impressed. Mark is a true professional and great with kids. My kid is 7 and just learning the game. Mark knew what to do. Excited to keep using this service. Thanks Mark for being passionate at what you do.

Mark was able to quickly and effectively form a rapport with my 12 year old son; this made it easier for him to be honest about the issues he’s been having up at the plate. Mark is super knowledgeable, and his easy going personality allows for constructive criticism and encouragement. My son said after our first session, ‘Mom, I’m not just saying this-that was really helpful!’ He’s given my son tools to use and, most importantly, confidence in himself and his form/ability to fix what’s not working!

We had a great batting practice with Coach Mark! My 15 year old son easily connected and understood the adjustments he had to make. We will definitely be back for more lessons! - Kristina-

Great with kids of all ages, highly recommended

Great first lesson on fundamentals. I would recommend him to anyone with young children just getting started.

After just 30 min with Coach Mark he was able to identify a few key changes to help my son improve his swing. He is already improving on getting consistent, powerful contact. Looking forward to watching his progress continue.

Coach Mark packed a lot in the 1 hr session with my 14yr old son. He is very knowledgeable and pin pointed the issue with my son’s hitting within the first few minutes. My son is looking forward to more sessions and working with Coach Mark.

Coach Mark did a great job in our initial session. With a few minor tweaks in only 30 minutes my 9 year old son is more balanced, getting better extension and feeling much more confident. Looking forward to continuing our his sessions and seeing my sons growth!

Mark packs a lot of value in a short amount of time. He can quickly diagnose issues and make gentle suggestions that make sense and build confidence. He asks his young athletes to verbalize what they think success would look like and guides them to their goal with a wealth of experience! Seems like a really nice guy from the very first encounter.

my son couldn't wait to go back to see him

Coach Mark is a great coach and trainer. He took time to get to know my son and understand where he needed help. He helped to correct and refine my son’s approach at the plate. Unbelievably after just a few sessions we saw improvements at the plate and on the field. Most importantly though, he’s built my son’s confidence, he’s better able to enjoy a sport he loves. I’d definitely recommend Coach Mark.

Great 1st session - my son loved it and learned a lot of stuff he can apply immediately! Look forward to many more sessions. Thanks Mark!

Our initial session was great. Mark taught my son a few techniques to help with pitching and fielding. Mark’s seems very knowledgeable of the game. Looking forward to a few more sessions.

Mark was absolutely AMAZING with both of my boys! He great with kids! Was positive and encouraging- they already want to schedule a next session!

Great coach…knowledgeable, active and knows how to train kids. If you are looking for a coach, your search ends here.

Coach mark was great. Him and my son connected very well my son thinks he’s a great hitting coach very nice and straight forward guy. Really recommend him!!

Mark was great working with my 8 year old. Really helped with the fundamentals.

Phenomenal experience , my 9 year old was very happy with the way coach Mark explained the technics on batting. Not only did he interact with him but also with us explaining every single step he was teaching him , I definitely recommend coach Mark . Looking forward for more sessions.
Thanks Coach!!!

Coach Mark was fantastic with my 11 yo son! He was excellent at deconstructing the pitch to explain various mechanics throughout the lesson. My son left excited about all he had learned & the changes he was able to implement immediately. As a youth athletics coach myself, I loved his positive coaching style & attention to detail. Overall a great educational experience that provided results within one lesson! I highly recommend Coach Mark.

As a parent without a strong fundamental knowledge of the game - with a kid who is loving the game - Mark was incredible in filling in the gaps and building my son’s foundation while showing me what I can focus on at home to support him too. It is absolutely money well-spent. As a teacher & coach myself, WOW Mark uses best practice methods to get kids to gain his trust, remember fundamentals, uses supports at first and then eases off quickly to make the kids accountable for their learning... can’t say enough!!

Mark is amazing. He helped my 15-year-old son prepare for his upcoming season as an outfielder. He is super knowledgeable about tracking and reading high-school level fly balls. My son was able to get in a lot of solid reps within a single session. Looking forward to more sessions!

Very good practice session. I think Coach Mark brought information from a lens that my son hadn’t seen yet. He builds confidence and teaches in a very interactive way. Very happy with the takeaways from the lesson.

Coach Mark did a fantastic job with our 9 year old. He was a bit nervous for his first session, but Mark found a way to connect and bring him out of his shell. We only signed up for one class, just to see how it would go, but we already booked another 5 sessions. Can’t wait to see the progress that I know our son will make under Marks coaching!

My son love the way he detail every mechanic & fundamentals. I highly recommend!

Coach Mark was outstanding with my 9 year old son. He was patient and took the time to explain what he was teaching and my son picked it up very quickly. He is an excellent pitching coach and my son is excited to work with him again, not only on pitching but hitting as well. I highly recommend Coach Mark!

Mark quickly developed a rapport with my 9 year old son and corrected some fundamental issues with his swing resulting in immediate improvement! So far we are pleased with Coach Mark!

Coach Mark is very patient and made the session fun for my son who learned so much in just one hour! Coach has a great way of teaching and discussed progress and informed me what he was doing and working on. My son loved his first session so much and is looking forward to the next one. He asked if we could add more!
Highly recommend Coach Mark!

Fantastic session! Jake connected with Coach Mark and responded well to his guidance and instruction! Great experience!

Incredible luck finding Coach Mark. We went to Mark initially to clean up some throwing mechanics for my 15-year old son but got a lot more in return. He quickly assessed my son’s performance and had him working on improved techniques for throwing, fielding, and batting all in our first session. By the second training session we were seeing a notable improvement. You can tell he knows both the practical application and physics behind what he is teaching. Not to mention, his relatable and honest demeanor put my son at ease, which always helps the training process. We would highly recommend Mark for all things baseball. Thanks Coach!

Today was my sons first session with Mark. Even though it was first day was a noticeable difference from the start to the end of the session. He also made it fun for my son which was a big plus, he had a blast!

Mark was excellent with my 12 year old son with great patience, insight and relevant recommendations. I appreciate the way he begins with work from a tee, progresses to flips and finishes with live batting cage work all the while keeping a dialog running with my son to get into great habits. My son is already asking to go back and when your son wants more practice that’s confirmation that Mark’s methods are having an impact.

Mark is great. He really knows what he’s doing and he made my son’s first lesson a lot of fun.

Coach mark was amazing with my 5 year old son. I was impressed with his ability to teach him at such a young age.

Coach Mark was Great. My son was very nervous going to the session but he made him feel very comfortable and excited to learn.

Coach Mark was really awesome my son like him a lot.Definitely top notch given the opportunity for my son who is 8 years old to work with a professional.It going to make the world of difference for him in the pursuit of being a baseball player.I will continue teach my son the training and techniques my son learned from Mark.THANK YOU

My 10-year-old son just had his first batting lesson with Coach Mark and I noticed a huge improvement. Mark was very knowledgeable and gave him great tips to practice at home. I would strongly recommend him!

Coach Mark really listened to my son's individual needs and walked him through everything he was working on with him and most importantly why. He was patient yet firm and honest. It was a top notch session. Will definitely recommend to anyone looking for individualized instruction.

Without your help over the past few years my dream of playing at the college level would have not been obtainable. Thanks for all your help
