Jared Gaynor

Founder

There are 2 important lessons I have learned in my career:

1. Working hard is not enough

You have to work on the RIGHT things.

2. You have to go after what it is you say you want

Make the call, go to the tryout, invest in your training.

My baseball journey started like most kids. I had a burning desire to become a Major League Baseball player. 

While I may have fallen short of that dream, I have been able to accomplish many great things that have molded me into the coach and person I am today.

I was never the biggest or strongest player and I had to constantly prove that I was good enough to be on the field.

This underdog mentality instilled a strong work ethic and a desire to find any edge I could over my opponents.

I have taken this same mentality into coaching.

My mission is to help players realize they are capable of far more then they think.

My approach to development is having a long term vision with short term processes to help you get there.

Thank you for letting me be apart of your development.

Let's get to work.
