More About Coach Tony
Took my daughter,Shanita Black, from average to one of the best slappers at the Div.1 level. She broke 12 Georgia Southern U. School records, and was 2006 Player of The Year in the Southern Conf. Saw girls quit because they could not hit at that level. The reason is that they don't have a good timing technique. Because of my hitting ability, I have created a great, simple pre-load technique, for hitting and slapping, that I teach. With this technique you will be able go with the pitch, hit to all fields, a must to be successful at the D1 level. Will get your daughter hitting/slapping at a very high level, and my daughter will use her reputation to market her to college coaches. LEARN TO HIT IN ONE SESSON!
Played 4 years of high school baseball, basketball, football. Played 4 years of college baseball at the shortstop position. Have been involved in softball for 20 years coaching and training. Coaching done at lower levels. Still do lots of hitting at the batting cage, training myself to be great, to get outside the box. The slap technique my daughter used to be successful, I created. It is different than the traditional. Teach the hard slap, the soft slap and 3 different bunts, including the drag. I've incorporated some Asian style in my hitting technique, which has to do with footwork and bat speed. My specialty is teaching to hit the long ball. LEARN TO HIT IN ON SESSON!
Most of the teaching of hitting/slapping has to do with the fundamentals,teaching the parts. I take it to another level by demonstrating and teaching the how to. How to get timing on the ball, meeting the ball at the contact point. You can know all the parts, but if you have no good timing technique,will not be successful at the higher levels. I teach by giving you visuals of me hitting and slapping 70 mph baseball off the machine. Practice consist of a lot of hitting from my pitching from different pitching motions and from the machine. LEARN TO HIT IN ONE SESSON!

Coach Tony , is a very professional and patient coach. He has been working with my daughter for couple months now and she has been improving very much on her hitting . I intend to keep coach Tony for a while because I want my daughter to learn the proper technique and fundamentals from Coach Tony .

Coach Tony was very informative and took the time to demonstrate every process. He was very patient and very knowledgeable on the problems that I was having and has followed up with me and encourage me and for that I'm grateful and I look forward to our next session.
Shay (CoachUp client)
Coach Tony is amazing! He explained what we'd be doing, demonstrated, and so I'd really understand we watched videos and looked through pictures. The videos and papers helped me to see what my form should look like and to really see the positioning of the body. Also, Coach gave different options and ways to do things like throw so I could get a feel for it and practice at home too. Flyers, personal experience, helpful tips, expertise, Coach Tony has it all! I highly recommend him not only for his knowledge and experience; he's a great Coach because he's patient and passionate. Instead of feeling anxious or not good enough, you'll leave Coach Tony's session with a desire to grow and improve once he breaks it down and you can see yourself doing better after just one session. I know I'm rambling on but I read others review and take it into account so I wanted to give the reader an honest, thorough one. I hoped this helped and if you're still not convinced just book one session and you'll see for yourself.
Bethany (CoachUp client)
Coach Tony really took the time and worked with my daughter. He was very knowledgeable! He had his work cut out trying to break bad habits and mistaught techniques. I will be having another session with him after my daughter finishes her "homework" from him. I also will have a session for my younger one so she can learn the correct way the first time.
