Private Lessons & Coaches in Pittsburg, CA

Baseball is more than just a game; it's a lesson in strategy, perseverance, and teamwork. I've spent the last 21 years sharing my passion for this sport, fostering a love for the game in players of all ages and skill levels. I still currently play competitively! Let's step onto the field together and unlock your true potential.

With 16 years of baseball instruction, I cultivate players' potential through personalized coaching. My passion is fostering skill development while ensuring a positive and enjoyable learning environment. Let's work together to elevate your game!

With 30 years of experience nurturing voices, I empower students to unlock their full potential. As a concert performer, I bring a wealth of knowledge to help you achieve your vocal goals, fostering both skill and artistry. Let's embark on a journey of musical discovery together! Meet Anna Lissa Jack, a talented singer, songwriter, musician, producer, and engineer and sometimes vocal coach from the San Francisco Bay Area. Anna has been singing and writing songs since she was a little girl. Her musical journey started at the Ephesians C.O.G.I.C in Berkeley, California, where she was pastored by the late Bishop EE Cleveland.  As she grew older, Anna developed a deep passion for harmony and experimenting with different vocal styles and musical genres. Anna’s talent really shone when she joined Castlemont High School’s Castleer’s. Under the guidance of the late great Phillip Lee Reeder, the Castleer’s became more than just a regular high school choir. He inspired many famous recording artists, who all credited Mr. Reeder for their musical journey. Some of Anna’s early musical influences include legendary artists like James Taylor, the Andrew Sisters, Bing Crosby, Danny Kaye, Andre Crouch, the Matthew Sisters, Walter and Edwin Hawkins, the Jackson 5, Emotions, Carpenters, Carol King, Natalie Cole, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, The Beatles, Doobie Brothers, Bee Gees, Fifth Dimension, Switch, and many more. A close friend and brother, Larry Batiste, helped Anna get into AFTRA (American Federation of Television and Recording Artists) and introduced her to professional studio backup singing.  Anna has had the pleasure of working with many talented artists and has made a name for herself as a go to background singer.

For a quarter-century, I've not only graced stages as a concert performer, but have also guided countless individuals on their own vocal journeys. My coaching blends technical expertise with a warm, supportive environment to help you unlock your full potential and find joy in every note.

For three decades, I've had the privilege of sharing my love of baseball with aspiring athletes. My coaching philosophy blends time-tested techniques with modern approaches to develop well-rounded players and ignite a passion for the game. Let's step onto the field together and swing for the fences!

"Training with Coach Joe was an incredible experience. His knowledge of the game and the ability to break things down made everything easy to understand. You can tell he really cares about his players on their success on and off the field.

After playing for over 10 years, I've had many opportunities to coach youth all the way through high school. I've worked each summer as a coach for my local club, working alongside great coaching staff my whole life to coach the younger players. In high school, I ran my own clinics two years in a row for both men and women that led to the beginning of the Del Oro Lacrosse Team in Loomis, CA. As a defender, my coaching specialties include footwork, body positioning, stick skills, field vision, and defending from both the wings and from X. Our first session will focus early on understanding exactly which fundamental areas you need to focus on, then giving precise guidance in those areas. I focus on building a strong foundation, where players can perfect the basics so they can stack more advanced topics as they progress.
