Private Lessons & Coaches in

For two decades, I've been sharing my love of baseball and helping players reach their full potential. My coaching style emphasizes strong fundamentals, strategic thinking, and most importantly, having fun while improving your game. Let's step up to the plate together!

COACHING EXPERIENCE: I have experience coaching boys and girls ranging from 4-40 years old. I was a coach in San Francisco for an organization called SF Glens FC, and then I started coaching private lessons in Orange County after playing college soccer at BIOLA University. I also coached a girls Chealsea OC soccer club in Orange County Southern California in 2024. But my passion is being a private coach, which I have been for 5 years now. I love watching people progress quickly and seeing their confidence boost as a result of it. ATHLETIC HIGHLIGHTS: I played 4 years of collegiate soccer on scholarship. I played 1 year at Academy of Art University from 2014-2015, and I played 3 years at Biola University from 2015-2017.

"Coach Samuel is really professional.

If you’re serious about getting better, really better, I’m here to help you get there. I’m Coach DJ Foster, a former Army service member, collegiate athlete, and experienced football coach who’s passionate about developing athletes who compete with confidence, discipline, and control. My coaching background includes serving as a Defensive Coordinator for youth football, Head Coach for middle school boys and girls flag football, and Defensive Backs Coach at St. Frances Academy, experiences that have shaped my athlete-centered, development-first approach. My training philosophy is built around the Long-Term Athlete Development (LTAD) model, meeting each athlete where they are physically, mentally, and emotionally to help them progress the right way. Every session is designed to improve movement efficiency, decision-making, and football IQ while reinforcing character traits like focus, accountability, and emotional discipline. Parents can expect a structured, safe, and positive environment that prioritizes steady improvement over shortcuts. My goal is to develop complete athletes, skilled, confident, and resilient young people who are prepared to excel in sports and in life. “Discipline beats motivation when motivation isn’t disciplined.” That’s the mindset I build into every athlete I train.

I've always been a teacher. From 8th grade golf class, calibrating students swings to personal training in my college years. I have enjoyed tennis since I was 12 year old, I played Division 3 as a college player. Now, i'm a boring tax accountant looking for more fun sidework! My coaching blends technical skills, with unorthodox fitness teachings for injury prevention, raised fitness, and a holistic outlook on improvement.

I help people find success, confidence, and joy in their pickleball game. Tailored to each player's game knowledge, athletic ability, and personal style, I provide personal guidance to level up your game every time you play. My background is in tennis, volleyball, martial arts, ballroom dance, and drumming. Over the past year I have transitioned into pickleball as my main sport and I love to help others learn the game and go from beginner to breakout player.

I provide quality coaching experience. I teach extremely fast and you will get better 100%. I coached Frances Tiafoe from age 8 to 18 to become youngest Orange Bowl Champion in history. He is now ranked top 10 ATP.

With a single-digit golf handicap rooted in multi-generational experience and a deep passion for the game, I bring 40 years of golfing expertise, honed from my time as a multi-sport athlete and Captain of a men’s regional golf team. I'm dedicated to helping golfers elevate their game with personalized instruction and a touch of fun, with a special focus on beginners and intermediate players. There is no “right” way to swing — my expertise is helping you hone skills in every aspect of the game, from tee to green, with a consistent focus on pure contact for your swing arc and making fewer putts!

As a former Tour Pro with 45 years of golf instruction under my belt, I am dedicated to helping players of all levels reach their full potential. My passion for the game, combined with proven techniques, ensures an enjoyable and effective learning experience.
