Because it’s not about us, it’s about them — the people we train.

Before PPA, the main problem was with my daughter's swinging mechanics, impacting her performance and potential negatively, as she wasn't hitting up to her capabilities. The standout quality was not only fixing her mechanics but also providing valuable mental coaching for in-game scenarios. Since working with Rick, her batting average has risen to around .350, her slugging percentage has doubled, and she's hit 25 home runs. She is just a sophomore in high school. These results have significantly boosted her confidence and overall performance. Rick is a mentor and guide, providing not only technical but also emotional support to both the player and the parents. If your kid has the desire and is willing to work and listen, Rick will improve their game.

Before PPA, our son struggled with a long swing, improper fielding technique, and a weak arm. He recognized the need for improvement but lacked the guidance to make significant progress. We chose PPA for its competitive atmosphere and the push it provided for our son to play at his full potential. Rick's dedication to the kids stood out, ensuring a positive environment focused on player development. PPA's specific approach involved breaking down the swing, throwing motion, and fielding stance to make our son a better player. Since working with Rick, our son has improved his swing, become more proficient at backhands, ball transfers, and developed a deeper love for the game of baseball. These results have positively impacted his life by instilling a strong work ethic and teaching valuable in-game strategies. As a parent, I have learned a lot, too.

Both of our boys struggled with different aspects of baseball, leading to a loss of confidence in their abilities and a negative spiral effect on their performance. We started working with Rick at age 9 and were impressed with his evident care for the kids and extensive baseball knowledge. PPA helped by teaching the basics properly, providing ongoing support and coaching, and offering private lessons to address specific challenges. Our older son struggled to find his position but eventually fell in love with pitching under Rick's guidance, becoming the main closer for his college team. Rick is the first person he will reach out to when he needs a tune-up. Both boys have gained confidence in themselves and their abilities on the baseball field, positively impacting their lives. Rick's patient and supportive approach has been instrumental in their development, allowing them to progress at their own pace and find success in the game they love.
