TESTIMONIALS

Cam & Kerri - HS Parents
“We feel so fortunate to have found someone like Will to mentor our son, not only in helping him improve his technical baseball skills, which help him gain confidence on the field, but more importantly, training him for the mental aspect of the game that translates into life lessons. One of the most memorable lessons with our son was one where he had been recently injured and instead of picking up the glove to practice pitching for 30min, Will empathetically sat with him and shared his life experiences on how to be patient & care for an injury and how to work through it to heal and come back stronger. Will is an individual with strong character and a great role model for our son. He cares about each of his students and has a heart for wanting to help them reach their full potential to be a more competitive baseball player and continue to find joy in a game they love to play.“

“We have been bringing our son to Will since the beginning of the 2020 season. Will was able to correct some bad advice about mechanics, and prevent probable arm injuries. Will stresses the Big League conditioning which helps improve our son’s readiness and well-being. Speed has increased about 25% over. the last year and a half, first. pitch strikes are now common, and our boy is confident on the mound.
We continue to visit Will for tune ups prior to important pitching events, and our only regret is that he is so far away from our home field in Santa Clara.
Will remains a valued resourced to our son to help navigate the game with three really good pitches, growth in his understanding of what pitch to throw when, and mater his approach to the count and the player.“

“Coach Will comes highly recommended. From the very first workout, my son would return with added confidence & an increased excitement to play. Coach’s accomplishments as a player provides instant credibility and chemistry with his students. It is clear that, not only was he successful as a pitcher, but he understands why, and can clearly articulate those fundamentals in the sessions. The mix of improving physical technique & strengthening the mental game was exactly what we were hoping to achieve. These lessons made a big difference in my son’s freshman season and we look forward to more in the coming year.“

“In the time that Coach Will has been working with my 15 year old, my son has shown a notable improvement in his pitching mechanics. Coach Will knows the game well. He knows how to teach it to kids. He knows how to break down the instruction into smaller, more identifiably easier steps and in just a few classes my son has found it easier to put into play what was taught to him. With every completed pitching session, my son has taken away another tool to add to his toolbelt. Coach Will is a tremendously positive teacher that puts serious effort in giving his students the best learning experience whilst developing their love and passion for the game.”

Tom D - HS Parent
“We discovered Will fairly recently, and his teachings have already made an impact on my son’s pitching. Will is able to identify problems I didn’t even know existed in my son’s mechanics. It all starts with a proper warm up procedure, which includes arm care. I can see where Will takes his experiences and passes them down, including the ‘Mental“ aspect of baseball which is a huge part of the game!
Will is also very encouraging. He wants to see his students succeed. He has the tools to make this happen, as he’s been there at a top level. I am very pleased that my son is a student of his and looking forward to many lessons going forward.”

ALEX M - 13U Parent
“My son Ethan had a big desire to pitch during his Minor A season, he showed some natural skill and was given some time on the mound and did ok. However he had lots of room for improvement. I found Will and started taking Ethan to see him, Ethan showed significant improvement on the very first lesson. Will's teaching methods combined with his support and constant encouragement really helped Ethan's development. His first season at the Majors level he was one of the starting pitchers and was one of the top performing pitchers in the TOC's. Now he is ready to move onto Travel Ball and will be starting for a 13U team in the fall.“

“It is my pleasure to highly recommend Will LaMarche for baseball lessons. Will has been working with my grandson - 12 years old - for a few years. He was having some control issues with his pitching and Will was recommended by a friend. Will identified some mechanical issues in his delivery, made the corrections, and gave him drills to reinforce the corrections. We have been seeing Will on a regular schedule, through his instructions my grandson’s accuracy and velocity have dramatically improved. I can also recommend Will for hitting lessons.“

Paul M - 10U Parent
“My 10-year old son came to Will summer of 21’ needing help with his pitching. He was mostly throwing & not pitching, so really needed to start from the beginning. Immediately, Will provided my son with warm-up drills, arm strengthening exercises, and pitching workouts, that greatly aided with his strike throwing while not overworking the arm. Now he drives off of his legs much better and with better balance and control. Will prepared my son physically and mentally & continued to progress the more we worked out together. We continue to see Will whenever we have the chance.“

Ryan D - HS PITCHER
“Coach Will gave me the mental & physical skills necessary to pitch at a higher level. He helped me improve my velocity & accuracy easily - without changing any of my core mechanics. Additionally, he implemented new pitches as we continued to work together, and in turn, he helped me learn which pitches I should throw, and when.”

“Will is a highly skilled baseball coach with professional experience & training. Both. my sons ages 9 & 12 took pitching lessons with Will. He is great with kids and is able to explain the game in a way kids can relate to and understand. My kids were able to learn the fundamentals, gain confidence, and develop different types of pitches during our lessons with him.“

Sara M - Parent
“As the start of my twin boys baseball journey has just begun I couldn’t have asked for a better coach who is encouraging, patient and makes my boys feel confident and ready for a new challenge every session. My boys are only 5 years old and to say they have excelled so much with the help of Will is an understatement. He is definitely creating future stars no matter what age. I would highly recommend him to any family who is looking for an experienced coach.“

Jen S - 12U & 8U Parent
“My two boys have been working with Will for a few months. Both of my sons have improved tremendously and have a much better understanding of the expectations of the game and themselves as athletes. My boys have written phrases in their gloves that Will speaks that help them focus and stay tuned into what they have learned. Will is a true leader and has been such a positive influence on both my boys. We are very blessed to be working with him. What they have learned from Will has not only grown them in sport, but as young men.“
