“Sam is the definition of a true competitor. Not only from an aspect of wanting to win but doing all the work necessary to become a winner. He’s very meticulous and driven to be the best at what he does and is able to pass that on to athletes. Aside from that, he truly cares about those he works with. You won’t get anything but honesty and useful information from him when it comes to what can be done to succeed on and off the field. He’s able to get messages across in a way that is effective for each individual in what they need to feel supported as well as motivated. Absolutely would trust my son with Sam. I’ve seen him grow through many years of life as an athlete, student, friend, and father. He wants to help athletes succeed as he has and will always go about that the right way."

"He helped transform me from a heavy pull hitter to someone who can drive the ball with power to all fields..."

"Sam has been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals by offering guidance and personalized programs that made me feel in control of my mechanics. He helped transform me from a heavy pull hitter to someone who can drive the ball with power to all fields, while also improving my ability to recognize and hit off-speed pitches. His approach, which focuses on preparing for failure, gave me the mental toughness to embrace setbacks and attack challenges with confidence. I've worked with him since my freshman year, and he has not only fixed issues in my swing but made my strengths even stronger."

"My freshman year I hit about .150 and started only half of the games... I hit .320 sophomore year and started every game that year and junior year."

"Sam helped me improve both my hitting and pitching by focusing on specific drills and fixing problems before moving on. I went from hitting .150 as a freshman to .320 by my sophomore year, starting every game and earning a scholarship to pitch in college. My mindset has completely changed—I now have full confidence in my abilities, both at the plate and on the mound. Sam's guidance and constant support, along with his ability to explain the 'why' behind everything, made me a much better player. I highly recommend him to anyone serious about improving their game."

"Sam helped me transform my swing by focusing on each part that needed adjustment, which led to a huge improvement in my power and balance. He also helped me mentally, giving me the tools to stay relaxed and focused during games, which made me a better player overall. My stats doubled after fixing my lunging issue, and I became much more confident on the field, focusing on the game situation instead of just trying to hit home runs. Sam is always available for advice and makes even the smallest adjustments that have a big impact, and his encouragement and dedication have been key to my success."

"... my confidence has skyrocketed because I trust my hands and mechanics during games."

"Sam has helped me greatly improve my timing at the plate and focus on keeping my hands through the ball, whether it's inside or outside. His drills have also taught me how to reset when I’m not swinging well by stepping out of the box and adjusting my bat path. Now, I can push the ball to the opposite field much easier, and my confidence has skyrocketed because I trust my hands and mechanics during games. I appreciate how knowledgeable and chill he is, always knowing the right drill for any problem I bring up."
