Private Lessons & Coaches in Chino Hills, CA

I have been passionate about baseball since early childhood. I especially enjoy sharing my love for the game with other players, coaches, parents, and fans. I believe in positive reinforcement through encouragement and instilling confidence. Every player is unique, so I take time to understand each player’s personality, strengths, and overall learning goals. I was born and raised in Houston, TX — a city with many opportunities for competitive youth baseball. I began playing travel ball at age six and soon played on multiple teams year-round. It became more than just a hobby for me; I realized that I wanted to pursue baseball professionally in some capacity. After lettering three years at Bellaire High School in Bellaire, TX, I was recruited to play shortstop for Trinity University in San Antonio, TX. I was one of the few players who made the travel team as a freshman. In my sophomore year, we went on to win the NCAA Division III National Championship. As an upperclassman, I took on a leadership role, honing my skills as both a player and a teacher of the game. Coaches and teammates labeled me as a cerebral player, and coaches trusted me to assist them with game strategy, player management, instructional work, and recruiting. After graduating with a B.S. in Geoscience (‘18), I earned a Masters degree in Geology at UC Davis (‘20). I currently work as an environmental geologist at a consulting firm, where I manage environmental cleanups, investigations, and property assessments. My passion for baseball remains unchanged. I continue to play competitively in a men’s league on the weekends. Baseball has shaped me into who I am as a person and a professional. I hope to use my experience to help players pursue their dreams. Whether you want to play competitively or just want to have fun, sign up for lessons and we can enjoy the game together!

"The lesson with Kurt went quite well, I’d say. I appreciated how he focused on my serve technique, which has definitely improved a bit, though I still need more practice. Still, it's pretty helpful to get specific tips instead of just vague advice. If he could maybe include more drills, that’d be a plus.

"I’ve asked Jay regarding one review that’s gotten 1 star rating… Not to badmouth anyone here, but it’s very misleading to just hear one side of the story so I’m putting down a review so you guys can decide. What Jay told me happened was that this particular student told through the app that she never needed equipments. So then, of course Jay or any instructor will come empty handed. Then first thing she told him was “I don’t have any clubs” and that’s how their lesson started off. After one hour, she told him how willing she was to take two instead of one lesson a week so she can develop faster. So Jay planned her curriculum accordingly. But at the end, she didn’t explain her text thoroughly regarding getting lessons and he ended up preparing as if he would see her. And then the rest happened. My personal experience with jay is just like the rest of the people here. Absolutely amazing of a coach!

My passion for basketball has only grown in my 10 years of coaching. I thrive on cultivating young talent and helping players reach their full potential, both on and off the court. Let's connect and elevate your game! If you are willing to put the work in, I will get you there I am a history teacher and Varsity Head BBall Coach. I am 6'5" and specialize in helping kids with size learn how to move their feet as well as how to take advantage of their size, both popping the tre and putting it on the floor and finishing over smaller players. On the flip side, I have also mastered how to teach ballers lacking in size to find space and see the court to open up the midrange game and the tre, or just dribble hesi and finish through the big with contact. If you want to learn how to ball with the toughness of the old days mixed with the new beautiful game of logo shooters, then let's get you there. Grit, tenacity, dropping that 3 ball, grabbing boards, running transition.....all really important skills that I can help you with! I played bball and football in HS and in the Marine Corps.....as well as in leuges and on A courts in Newport on 32nd street, Milesquare, Venice, the Arc at UCI, etc. I attended UCI on a full ride academic scholarship and was approached by the head coach as he wanted me on the squad to help his 7 footer develop. I declined but still played with them often. If I want it more than I do, there is a problem....how bad do you want it? I can only show you the path. You have to walk it!

"This is from my shooting guard....I watched this kid go from playing bball because his friend asked him to, to dropping 3's on bigger, stronger kids. "To be honest I think your a really good coach if it wasn’t for you I would not learn the stuff or be who I am today I probably would not have the scoring capabilityI now have ( shooting 3's), you lead us to an undefeated record of 11-1. I still remember you teaching me how to do a layup. To a little dog to a big dog.😭 I would like to you have you for a aau coach 💪💪 sincerely Devin 💪💪
