Stop Winging It.Start Coaching.

I played baseball through college. Coached high school teams. Spent years as an instructor at All Star Baseball Academy. I've been around the game my whole life.

But when I signed up to coach my 8-year-old son Charlie and his rec team? That was different.

Six, seven, and eight-year-olds are... a lot. The attention spans are short. The skill levels are all over the place. And you're trying to keep twelve kids engaged while also teaching fundamentals and—oh yeah—making sure nobody gets hit in the face with a baseball.

I'd spend hours the night before practice searching for drills, trying to piece together a plan, worrying if I was even doing it right. And I had the advantage of actually knowing how to coach. I couldn't imagine what it was like for the other parent-coaches who'd never played past Little League themselves.

But here's the thing—I also wanted a better way to work with Charlie individually. Team practice is great, but as a parent, you want to help your own kid progress too. I needed something that could work for both: planning team practices AND tracking Charlie's personal development with drills we could do in the backyard.

My day job is building software. So I thought: what if there was a tool that could help with this? Not some generic drill database, but something that actually understands your situation—whether that's a full team or just your own kid—and builds on what you worked on last time.

I built Bench Coach for me first. To help with Charlie's team AND to help Charlie get better. To have a way to plan practices, track progress, and always have a next step ready to go.

But then I realized—if this makes my life easier, it'll help every other parent and coach out there who's just trying to do right by their kids.

You don't need to be an expert. You just need the right tools. Let me help you be the coach—or parent—your team or your child deserves.
