Zach Perez

Ryan (CoachUp client)

The highest praise I can give a coach as a parent is the ability to relate to a young player. Zach brings knowledge, skill, experience, and a positive attitude, and he can connect with the player. What struck me most in Zach's approach was his willingness to listen to my son. So many coaches talk at players, but the best coaches not only instruct but listen and then correct. There were several moments where Zach would say something along the lines of, "I hear you and that's great, but I would challenge you to try it this way," or "I would challenge you to take this approach." To me this is a sign of a great teacher, mentor, or coach. As we left, my son's first unprompted words were, "That was awesome." In a single session, he already has some new concepts to help progress his game. We plan to schedule more sessions with Zach.
UPDATE: More great reviews for Zach. My son is off to a great start to his fall season. He's more focused, more positive, and even more engaged with baseball (and I didn't think that was possible for an eleven-year-old). Wish I could give more than five stars.

My son had his first coaching session with Zach yesterday and it was a great experience. Zach is very engaging and in a short time was conversing and getting my some what reserved son out of his shell. Zach's approach in the initial session of evaluation and feedback seems very effective and gave me as a parent reassurance that there would be real progress made and not just random drills and BP. Zach provided relatable examples that helped Devin grasp the tweaks and adjustments that were being suggested. Looking forward to future workouts and seeing the progress unfold.
Thanks Zach!!

Had our initial session with coach Zach this week. Zach has obvious knowledge of the game and an impressive ability to connect with our son. I really appreciated his approach and how easy it was to understand his direction. We can absolutely see why he comes so highly rated and will be back learning again with coach Zack!

Greg (CoachUp client)

Zach is an outstanding Coach! If you are looking for a coach that really knows the game and knows how to explain it on a level where your young athlete can understand and relate to then Zach is the perfect choice. We signed up for just one session with Zach and after our first practice we immediately signed up for a second. After finishing our second practice my son is already asking when we can work with Coach Zach again. Glad we found him.

We were on our annual visit to the Phoenix area this week and as our son suddenly took an interest in playing baseball this year and we have a very limited playing season back home, we decided to give him an opportunity to have a lesson while we were there. We found Zach and are so thrilled we did! He made an instant connection with our son and was able to provide him with several valuable pointers both as a pitcher and a hitter. Zach is so positive and encouraging and we could tell he was genuinely vested in helping our son even though he knew it was only going to be for one lesson (this summer 😊). Matthew is excited to practice what he learned from Zach and listed his lesson as one of the highlights of our trip and can't wait to see him again on our next visit! Zach is patient, knowledgeable and a fantastic coach - all of this very evident from just one lesson. You will not be disappointed booking a session with Zach!

Coach Zach is awesome! Just after 2 sessions, we can see our son has already taken the lessons he has learned to heart. He is crushing the ball more consistently with the tips Zach has given him and he looks more confident playing defense.

Lindsey (CoachUp client)

Zach has an uncanny ability to get the most out of your kid. He quickly identifies their strengths and opportunities, and leverages them both to make your kid incrementally better every session. I highly recommend Zach!

Brian (CoachUp client)

Zach possesses all the skills of a great coach: knowledge, great communicator/motivator, and teacher. Baseball is obviously in his blood and his passion and positive attitude rubbed off on my son from minute one. If you are looking for a coach that will show your child the proper fundamentals and mental mind set, then Zach is the right coach for you.

Coach Zach was great with my 12yr old son. Zach explained at a level that my son, Taylor understood. Taylor had fun and is now working at home with the drills Zach has given him to improve his hitting. By the end of the hitting lesson Taylor was feeling more comfortable at the plate and starting to understand how to adjust his swing depending on the pitch.

Amanda (CoachUp client)

Coach Zach worked with my 8 year old son on baseball fundamentals. He was not only an excellent coach, but is also motivating and inspiring. His upbeat demeanor and emphasis on having fun, while also improving was just what my son needed! Thank you, Zach!

Thomas (CoachUp client)

We had a great batting session with Coach Zach. I saw a huge difference in the way my son hit after one lesson. We will continue to book him. When we left, my son said" I think we found a good batting coach." Thanks Coach.

Dan (CoachUp client)

Max enjoyed working with Zach. We are looking forward to our next session.

Kelli (CoachUp client)

Coach Zach is an amazing coach! He worked with my 8 year old was able to motivate him and explain things to him in a way he understands. My son LOVED his session with Coach Zach and looks forward to another session!

Dominick (CoachUp client)

Great session of fielding and batting! Can't wait for the next tournament to see the kid out it in action!

Jeff (CoachUp client)

We came to Phoenix on vacation and found Coach Up. We searched coaches and found Coach Zach and booked him based on all the great reviews. After booking Coach Zach he quickly replied to confirm our session and location, he was very prompt. We used Coach Zach for training prior to our sons baseball tryouts, it was a great workout. He did infield, outfield and batting during the session and provided some great tips and techniques for tryouts and our sons overall development. Coach Zach was great with our son, who is 12 years old, he provided great feedback and encouragement. We highly recommend Coach Zach and will be booking more sessions with him when we return next year for spring break. Thanks Coach Zach

Todd (CoachUp client)

Excellent experience with Zach. He took time to get to know my son and really worked to connect with him.
He built very good rapport and communicates easily with the kids he's coaching.
I was impressed with his attention to small details and how he directed his observations into actionable, coachable directions.
Highly recommend his coaching.

Gabe (CoachUp client)

I love working with Coach Zack. He's a very nice guy with a great knowledge of the game. He's helping me with my swing right now and I feel a lot more confident and am really hitting the ball hard.

Wanda (CoachUp client)

Great coach. Understanding of my needs and how to talk me through the process of fixing things. Highly recommended.

Greg (CoachUp client)

Coach Zach is absolutely amazing! He has greatly helped my son improve as a player. He is now the top player on his Little League team. Coach Zach explains baseball to him as a player so my son understands why he's teaching him this way. I would highly recommend Coach Zach to anyone looking to fine tune their skills in baseball.

Mike (CoachUp client)

Zack has utmost patients and love for the game. In our first session with my son (10) (with no prior baseball background), Zack was amazing. Went over some basic fundamentals and ran some drills. Zack was very polite and showed passion for training! Pushed the kid as far as he could, without breaking his sprit. Very happy with our first session and looking forward to the next.

Lori (CoachUp client)

Coach Zach was great with our 13 yo old son. Working with him on fielding and hitting. He had some good drills and was very engaged. Looking forward to our second workout tonight!

Coach Zach really related to Caden. They went through multiple drills, but kept it fun by turning some of the drills into a fun game. Caden can't wait until his next lesson.

Josh (CoachUp client)

Coach Zach has had 6 sessions with my son (8u player). In a short time I have seen improvement in skills and attitude from my son. Practicing with dad can be a little overwhelming and sometimes it's easy to be looked over during a team practice. Zach gives my son that extra attention which gets his confidence higher. Zach comes from a baseball family and I know he values all angles of the game. We are looking forward to working with Coach Zach going forward.

Terry (CoachUp client)

My son really enjoyed his first session with Coach Zach. The lesson was tailored to the areas he's been struggling with. The next day we had our club practice. I received a call from the owner to say what a great job my son did at practice. Will schedule again soon with Zach.

Brad Weisman - Parent (Testimonial)

Zach helped my sons feel more confident at the plate and they both saw great improvement working with him. He also hosted our whole family to a D-backs game in his own personal seats! He's a real class act.

Jacob Ramirez - 2B Schurr High School (Testimonial)

Zach's mentorship while playing helped me grow as a player and as a person. He's like a big brother to me.
