“I don’t throw the whole kitchen sink at players when I am coaching. I may see several things to work on, but I want them to learn the right way at the right pace.”

Justin’s been with TrainRight for 15+ years. Growing up in Wildwood, Mo, Justin was playing varsity baseball as a sophomore at Marquette High School. Rick was one of the first coaches to have a huge impact on his baseball career when he reached out to him and asked if he was interested in playing the JUCO circuit.

While playing college ball at the University of Mobile, Justin gained an understanding of what preparation and competition looks like at the next level.

 
For high school players looking to play in college, Justin is a great guide. He relies on both technology and experience.He knows that HS players are looking for an advantage. He also helps HS level players understand the data behind their swing. “Knowing your numbers is important; launch angle, exit velocity, swing mechanics, etc. The older players are looking to put it all together to produce more efficient contact; I help break it down for them.”

For younger players looking tolerant and improve their game, Justin’s been a youth coach and believes that an individual approach to player development is more effective than a cookie cutter approach. “The basics are really important. Move your feet, have soft hands, keep your butt down, and get your hands out. Training, practice, and repetition helps you nail them down.” He always has an encouraging approach that reminds players not to make things more difficult than they really are.

For players and parents looking for a patient, experienced eye to help guide them, Justin invests his time in development. Reach out to him now for an assessment to get started.
