Private Lessons & Coaches in Hillside, IL

Hi there! I’m Aj Juarez, a 21-year-old softball coach with 13 years of experience in the sport. I started playing at a young age and quickly developed a deep passion for the game. Over the years, I’ve gained valuable experience playing on A-level travel ball teams, being a 4-year varsity starter, and playing college softball. Throughout my playing career, I’ve honed my skills in all aspects of the game, from strategy to technique. I’ve been fortunate to learn from some of the best coaches and players, and I now bring that knowledge to my coaching. My experience playing at a high level allows me to understand the mental and physical demands of the sport and how to help players succeed at every level. As a coach, I’m committed to creating a positive and supportive environment where athletes can thrive, both individually and as part of a team. I focus on building confidence, discipline, and teamwork, while always challenging players to improve and reach their full potential. I realize that every athlete is unique in their own way, and I tailor my lesson plans based on the individual I am working with to reach their maximum potential.

With 35 years immersed in baseball, I blend time-tested fundamentals with innovative strategies. I cultivate not only skilled players but also confident individuals, fostering a lifelong love for the game. My commitment extends beyond the field; I strive to mentor and inspire.

With over two decades of baseball at the D1 and professional level, I foster skill development in a supportive, enjoyable environment. Using my experience at high level baseball I will blend proven techniques with personalized guidance to help each athlete achieve their full potential. I'm committed to instilling a lifelong passion for the game.

The game of basketball has given me so much joy in life! I love the way the ball sounds when you bounce it. I love the way the net sounds when the ball goes in. I love shooting on mini hoops, regulation sized hoops, swimming pool hoops, and anything in between. If there's a hoop and a ball, I'm playing. Heck, I remember playing on crates when I was younger. I love playing inside, outside, it doesn't matter. I love getting into a stance and locking somebody up on defense. I love outhustling everybody on the other team for loose balls. I love making my teammates better and being a leader on the court. I want to share my 35 + years of basketball knowledge and experience with boys and girls of all ages in hopes of helping them become the best basketball players and human beings they can possibly be (they go hand in hand). If you bring me on as your personal basketball coach, we will spend time on the court (offense and defense) as well as break down film (watching film is what helps you pick up on new moves). I look forward to working with you!
