Pitching Lesson Testimonials

"Jesse Cole proved to be an invaluable coach to my two son's this summer. Jesse taught my son's the rudiments of solid baseball, always focusing on proper mechanics to avoid injury. He stressed conditioning, exercise, and daily practice to maintain what they learned the week prior. He challenged them to perform with increased accuracy, determination, and strength every week. My son's overall baseball performance improved so dramatically that one son was elected to represent our home town in a Cooperstown, NY tournament, the other son was recruited to play in a mostly varsity based fall baseball program.

   

Jesse is not only an extremely talented player; he is a natural teacher, communicator, and mentor. His enthusiasm for coaching was evident every minute of every lesson. He truly was the best coach my son's have had and they continue to reference their time with him this summer. Jesse demonstrated a rare combination of natural baseball talent, intelligence, energy, and he had an amazing ability to communicate positively with his students. We wish him all the best with the Grizzlies! They are very lucky to have him."

“I did lessons with Jesse two summers ago and it really helped to get training from someone who had a higher level of experience at both the mound and the plate. This training allowed me to succeed in my baseball career. For example, I made my first AAU team the same year I had received all this training. Even today, I still use the same techniques and fundamentals that Jesse taught me.”
