Experienced tutor in Softball, James offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING! Coach James is the most knowledgeable pitching coach I've ever had the privilege of taking my daughter to.

He took the time to get to know my daughter, and what HER goals were. He then helped create a plan (with benchmarks and rewards along the way) for her to get there. Having already been a pitcher for a few years, she has some inefficiencies (bad habits) to overcome, James is steering her thru those while shaping her mechanics and reinforcing the foundations which are so vital for successful high level pitching.

I believe my daughters learning curve has been greatly reduced by the way he explains what "has" to happen, using a variety of examples that she understands. He also teaches her the "why" these things need to happen, so she sees their importance as a takeaway from each lesson. Additionally, he holds her accountable, which reinforces the fact that her success rests in her own hands; by means of her focus, effort, and work ethic, not only during a lesson but in her practice at home.

Above all else, his first priority has been the well being of my daughter, by emphasizing the importance of proper mechanics, he's ensuring that she'll minimize the risk of injury as she continues her journey.

My daughter started in a rut, mentally and physically. The turn around in 6 months, just going every other week, has been unbelievable. Little tweaks have made the biggest difference. She was absolutely unable to throw a change up. We had tried so many different things but with Coach's instruction she's finally able to see and feel the difference. I'm very pleased with what he's accomplished in a short period of time.

We met Coach James at a Rick Pauly clinic in Fort Wayne. She liked James so much a few months later we went to another clinic in Indiana. That sealed the deal for us to ask him to be our pitching coach. 4hrs away lol but worth every mile!

Attention to detail, too often coaches are on to the next thing. James makes sure the girls have it down before moving on. He communicates better than any instructor i have ever been around.

Really knows his stuff.
