More About Coach Rick

In 13 years coaching at Cerritos Artesia Little League ages 8 to 18 years old. I won 6 league championships and 2 time runner-up at District 29 Tournament of Champions. Three time Little League All Star manager and coach. In 2013 I taught my hitting method to the Westminster L.L. Minor B Dodgers which won the 2013 District 62 Tournament of Champions. This year 5 of my students playing for the Anaheim Nuts Pony Baseball team won the 12U 2017 Memorial Day All Star Tournament. LEARN MY SECRET METHOD IN ONE LESSON!

While playing for Downey High School in California I was selected to the Moore League’s 1st team all-league and the California CIF Southern Section 1st team as short stop. I all so played at Cerritos JC in Cerritos California.

My passion is teaching hitting. I have a SECRET TECHNIQUE FOR TEACHING THE MENTAL ASPECTS OF HITTING. I focus on concentration and hand eye coordination skills for tracking and hitting a baseball along with hitting mechanics. I focus on the mental part of hitting which is 80% of hitting. I use a batting T for mechanics and soft toss and the personal pitcher for batting practice. My mantras are, "Hitting Is Easy" and "A Coach Never Leaves A Good Hitter On The Bench". In other words hitting is the most Important attribute a player has unless he is a great pitcher.

Client Reviews

Coach Rick is awesome. He works so well with kids and made my son feel confident and motivated. My son has always had an attitude about sports that if he isn’t amazing right away, he wants to quit. We’ve tried four other sports and none of them stuck because he would get too frustrated and not want to do the work to get better. When he decided he wanted to try baseball I was worried we were going to strike out yet again, especially because at his age all the other players had been playing for a few years already. But baseball was the sport he was waiting for apparently. Despite being behind, he seemed to really enjoy it. Desperate to make this stick, we looked for some coaches that could give him a little extra help to catch up to his teammates. We are so lucky to have found Coach Rick. Coach Rick has a system for batting that really works. He also has a few fantastic mantras/sayings to help the kids remember what to do. My son repeats the mantras before every game and as he walks up to his at bat. This helps him remember the steps, remind himself to swing at the right pitches, and motivates him to swing like he means it.

Thank you so much Coach Rick!!

Awesome Coach. Has to ability to engage and teach a seven year old. Kept his attention thru drills. My son came out happy and well taught.

My sons likes his coaching. He has hearts to help little kids to enjoy baseball. He is the best hitting coach!

Coach Rick did a great job connecting with my son and explaining some of the fundamentals. He provided many tips to take home and practice. My son was a natural contact hitter and Rick improved his swing by both making sure he had the right bat and teaching his methodologies.

Coach Rick has been awesome with my son's lesson. He is the perfect coach to help perfect a kid who is in little league and needs to better their skills in hitting. After my son's 2nd lesson with coach Rick, my son nailed a grounder and got a hit with an RBI. My son who is 8, is a lefty and gets hit by pitches all the time. My son gets nervous in the box and won't swing the bat. Coach Rick is helping him overcome his fear of getting hit. My son is excited to tell coach Rick at next practice about his big hit. Coach Rick is very patient and will help your child build up the confidence to swing the bat!. Thanks coach Rick.

Coach Rick is fantastic! My boys have already started implementing some of his techniques. We look forward to their next coaching session with him.

The approach to hitting Coach Rick provided is like no other. My son swing has significantly improved after the first lesson. Looking forward for the lessons to come. Strongly recommended.

Our son had great results and new confidence in batting.

Great with kids and very patient!

was awesome 2 adjustments and i was hitting small wiffle balls.

so worth it

Coach Rick was awesome!! I promise that you have never had a hitting coach like this before. His approach is one of a kind and frankly the results speak for themselves. My son left with a huge confidence boost.

What an awesome experience we had with Coach Rick! My son Titus had been lacking true guidance on hitting and Coach Rick definitely broke it down to us! Not only did my son improve on his hitting, there were so many teaching moments that my husband and I have learned as well (Ah- ha moments). It's mostly mental! You have to have confidence! See the ball, hit the ball! These are just a few teachings I'll never forget Coach Rick saying to us. Thank you Coach for the many intriguing stories that came along with your training. Stay well and blessed. Hope to see you again soon!

I usually not able to watch my boys baseball games but this year I took some time off and was able to watch three games of the season I noticed that my 15 year old struggled to hit the ball I’m not an expert on baseball so I decided to search for private help and found Rick a coach that only teach batting and after one session the improvement is completely noticeable. this man really impact my boy’s life. God bless this man.

Coach Rick provided an amazing experience for my 8 year old. It was his first year playing baseball and coach Rick made him feel very comfortable. Rick explained everything in a very clear and entertaining manner that kept my son engaged. Coach was able to keep his attention through the entire sessions.

After the first session, my son got two hits, versus his two strike outs before the lesson. Rick has many years of experience and packages up his knowledge in a very easy format to follow.

After his third lesson, my son now has the confidence to hit like never before. He was hitting 60 mph at the batting cage on his first trip to the cages!

I am very grateful that we found coach Rick and will continue to use his services to advance my son's hitting even further!

We loved the methodology Coach Rick provided as well as the hitting instructions. I already see massive improvements in my boys' swings. If you're looking for a coach and need an edge, Coach Rick is your guy.

Rick is amazing!! He is so knowledgeable and his approach is one of a kind after one session both of my boys were able to hit in both their games. I would definitely recommend Rick to anyone that has little ones struggling with batting.

Great coach!

After only 1 lesson, our son's batting performance improved. Coach Rick made great suggestions on how to focus and "see" the ball and at the next game, he was able to incorporate those lessons and hit 3/3. Our son currently plays AAA and is age 10. Coach Rick is very positive and encouraging. It's boosted his confidence greatly and he is looking forward to other lessons to show off his new knowledge. We highly recommend Rick.

Rick is a great coach. He got a lot of patience with kids and teaches his style. My daughter had one class with him and loved it. I see immediate improvement with his techniques. We will take more classes with him, I highly recommend him for softball/baseball lessons, thanks, Ravi

Can't wait to go back for our second lesson thank you coach Rick, for sharing so much of your knowledge with us!

Thanks for your patience with my 8 yr old son. He enjoyed his session with coach Rick. Coach all so help my older son three years earlier. Thank you

He's great

Coach Rick is great! He was very patient with my son and helped him a lot with his hitting. He taught him a lot of concepts that really helped my 9 year old understand mechanics and technique. My son couldn't wait to go back for his next lesson and wanted to practice what Coach Rick taught him every day.

Coach Rick is awesome!! He is a true Instructor. By the end of the first lesson I noticed a significant improvement in my sons ability to make solid contact with the ball. By the end of his 4th lesson he can in the cages hitting 70mph+ with ease. He is 11 years old.
There is no doubt in my mind that coach Rick can help any ball player at any age level!!

Coach Rick is awesome! Highly recommend him! Teaches a different way to look at hitting. He’s very unique. My son really enjoyed his lesson. Can’t wait to book his next lesson!

My son LOVES working with Coach Rick. I’ve seen so much improvement even after 1 session!

(no details provided)

Our son got drafted up a division and is one of the smallest and youngest so he had something to prove. After the second game, he is now leadoff hitter, this is 100% due to Coach Ricks teachings. I absolutely LOVE how he approaches the game mentally so before my son even held the bat in our first session he had an understanding of the mental side. He still runs through all the mantras before and during his at bat and can't thank Coach Rick enough. Coach Ricks pure love of the game shows and couldn't be thankful enough for what he's taught not only my son but me about the game of baseball.

Coach Rick did great with my son. He knew how to talk to him and the fact that he has been doing the drills coach taught him over the weekend proves a lot. Can’t wait to schedule another session.

Did a great job with my grandson.He was patient and thorough and with a new way of teaching hitting.

Thank you for teaching concentration.

Coach Rick is an outstanding hitting coach. He gave my son advice on both the physical and mental aspects necessary to elevate from a good hitter to a great hitter. He additionally gave me (Dad) tips on coaching and drills to work with my son at home.

Coach Rick is truly passionate about turning players into great hitters! We look forward to working with him in our next session.

Coach Rick is experienced, thoughtful, engaging, and smart in his approach to hitting and also working with kids. He’s like the Mr. Miyagi of hitting.

Coach Rick was fantastic! We've only had one session but he was able to connect with my son and install immediate confidence in his approach to hitting. Coach Rick spent half the session discussing his technique and the science to his approach. He was able to explain it in a way that an 8 year old could understand. The second half of the session was dedicated to actual hitting and applying the mental knowledge that he imparted on my son. His technique and approach work and I would recommend Coach Rick to anybody that wants to improve their hitting skills!

Over the years of experience, coach Rick developed his own philosophy about hitting. I believe it is not only useful for my son's baseball, it is a valuable skill for life. I can see Rick's love for coaching youth and his care and pride for all his past and present trainees. He is very easy to get along. AND the class cost is lower than others. We are going in for more lessons.

Great experience. My son improved and wants to go back

Coach Rick has the right approach very knowledgeable and I guarantee he will make you child a great hitting in just one session. I will definitely keep bringing my son to coach Rick.

Coach Rick is awesome! After only one session he identified key areas my son needed to work on to improve his hitting. We both learned a lot and my son is excited about taking a few more lessons. Coach Rick is very friendly, motivating and knowledgeable!

Coach Rick was able to give players to look at fundamental and make it into experiencing bat skill!

Coach Rick is unlike any Coach my son has trained with. He went over the mental part of hitting thoroughly, which is where my son is struggling, and then went into hitting mechanics. We both learned a lot in just one session. Looking forward to training with him again.

Rick was very patient with my son, who has almost no experience with baseball. He spoke to him on his level and had instant success. The confidence building made all the difference

(no details provided)

Coach Rick’s technique and style was very easy for my 9 year old son to learn. My son was already a good hitter and I believe with coach Rick’s help he will become a GREAT hitter. Thanks Coach!!

Really enjoyed first session with coach Rick really shows cares for his clients and gets to know them first and a lot of patience on the drills with my son been his 1st year playing baseball! Cant wait for next session soon! Thank you

Rick has experience and a great system for teaching kids. My son is 11, and learned a lot in just one session! We’ll be going back for sure. Thank you Coach!

Had a great Time with Rick not only did he train my Boy but trained myself also. The very next game my son Hit a double and a Single... I recommend Rick to anyone looking to improve their skills

Coach is great!

My son's been playing baseball for the past 6 years. He's now on an 11u travel team and was having issues at the plate - striking out almost half the time. During our first lesson with Rick, he concluded that my son had good mechanics though wasn't "seeing" the ball. Through a few creative drills he helped him focus and see hitting from a new perspective. Looking forward to our next lesson with Coach Rick.

Coach Rick was amazing!! The way he brakes down baseball and how he explains it's mind blowing. Not only is he knowledgeable but, makes learning fun. I will definitely recommend coach Rick! Worth every penny.

Coach Rick does a great job explaining and breaking down the skill sets of batting, not only to the athlete (my 8 year old), but to the parent as well. So Mom and Dad can be better informed on how to help their child improve and enjoy the game.

Coach Rick was exactly what we were looking for in a hitting coach. I definitely recommend any new player or any player wanting to hit better to book 2-3 sessions with Coach Rick. His approach is extremely beneficial to a player of any age, yet he has also created a way to connect with kids to "get it" and be better in several ways. Highly recommended.

Wow!!!! Coach Rick is awesome!!! He is patient, and really knows his baseball! My son went to practice last night and first time up hit a triple!!!! Rick has the “secret” and now the confidence my son has is priceless!!! Thank you Rick!!! You are the BEST!!!

Excellent coach! amazing baseball fundamentals.

Rick is very methodical in his coach process. Rick has a knack for making things fun and connect with a child. My 8 years old son who has never played baseball, but has a lot of interest in it, learned a tremendous amount from Rick. I highly recommend Rick to anyone who wants to improve their baseball skills.

Coach Rick is truly a great coach.

Highly recommended coach that will hired again in the future. Very professional and patient to my five-year-old baseball player boy. Thank you Coach Rick

Rick is fantastic with my 8 and 11 year old boys. His techniques really work for young players that want to hit the ball. Many coaches expect kids to understand the definition of seeing the ball. It seems obvious but really is not. Rick defines "seeing the ball" through a series of drills and questions. Fun to watch the "light bulb" go on when the kids truly get it.

Coach Rick did an amazing job! He took the time to evaluate my son and tailored the session around his individual needs. I would highly recommend Rick to all baseball players!

Coach Rick is very knowledgeable, he took the time to explain different concepts to Aaron. He helped fix some mechanical errors Aaron was having. Aaron said he enjoyed the lesson and learned alot. Thanks coach

Coach Rick is the perfect coach! His depth of knowledge combined with his rapport with kids and parents is wonderful. He teaches all the skills needed to be a confident baseball player. My son is five and he was not only able to help with his batting mechanics but he was able to teach him the mental aspect of baseball in a way that my son could understand. Coach Rick enabled my son to feel confident and most importantly have fun! His love for the game is reflected in his eagerness to impart his wisdom on new generations of baseball players. I can't wait to see all of the progress my son will make this year.

Coach Rick is really one of a kind. He's so patient and encouraging with my year old. You can tell he loves what he's doing and truly cares about his students. After 2 sessions, were starting to see some improvements in my son's hitting so we know were on the right path. He's both knowledgeable and compassionate which is a winning combination!

Coach Rick was amazing with our son. He was patient and did a great job of teaching our 5.5 year old son on how to improve his hitting. We highly recommend Rick and can't wait for the next session.

I am so grateful to Coach Rick Hart for the kind and knowledgeable way he helped my grandson, Dayne gain confidence in his baseball hitting skills. Since working with Coach Rick, Dayne went on to play on his league’s All Star team. Dayne then played on a fall travel ball team. This spring he hit the first grand slam of his League, hitting the ball completely over the fence. Also, Coach Rick would come and support Dane at many of his games as his dear friend and coach. Thanks so much, Bennie and Dayne K.
My son Adrian had lost his confidence being up at the plate after being hit a couple times by the ball. Once he started training with Coach Rick he regained his confidence and would step up to the plate with no fear! Coach Rick has simple but great techniques. You will see Improvement within a couple of training sessions.
My son started with Rick with no previous baseball experience. By the middle of the Season Johnny was hitting the ball and last season he was the number 2 hitter in the lineup. Rick's technique focuses on hand-eye coordination and connecting positive thinking to hitting technique. He instilled a great foundation for my son to continue to improve. We are so thankful for his dedication!
