Coach EJ
Coach EJ built TOA Athletics around a simple idea: young athletes get better fastest when they can see their own progress. Every session is hands-on, every swing is on video, and every player leaves knowing exactly what to work on next.
Training happens in the cage and on the field in Surprise, Arizona, with baseball and softball players from youth leagues through high school and college development.

Athlete success stories
What TOA families say
My son used to dread hitting lessons. Now he asks to go. Watching his swings at home and seeing the exit velo climb changed how he practices.
Coach EJ fixed my load in two sessions. I'd been fighting it for a year.
It's not just softball. She carries herself differently now, and the mindset work shows up at school too.

FAQ
Questions parents ask
Who do you train?
Baseball and softball players from youth leagues through high school and college development. We coach hitting, fielding, catching, and the mental side of the game.
What happens at the first session?
An evaluation. We watch your athlete hit, field, and throw, film it, and take baseline numbers. You leave with a plan for what to work on first.
What should my athlete bring?
Bat, glove, helmet, and water. Catchers should bring their gear.
How does the player portal work?
After each session we upload the swing videos as private (unlisted) YouTube links and add the numbers. Your athlete logs in, picks the workout day and the swing, and watches it back with the stats on the side. The videos aren't listed anywhere public, and the links only appear after login.
What is Rapsodo?
A launch monitor that measures every batted ball: exit velocity, launch angle, distance, direction, and spin. It turns "that felt good" into numbers you can track week to week.
