what people are saying

“Coach Hege is the best. plain and simple. his knowledge of the game and how to forward it through instruction no matter what the age group is amazing. my son looks forward every week to his hitting and throwing instruction. prior to my son working with coach hege, he was for most people’s views a naia or d2 prospect. since working with coach hege for the past 6 months, my son is now being looked at by mid major d1 and top tier d1 programs. we are so grateful that coach hege is in our lives. there is nobody I would trust more with my son’s baseball instruction than coach hege!”

“There isn’t one word that could describe coach hege’s coaching style. as a coach he is patient, passionate, and dedicated to his players. I know this because after he was deployed, he made constant effort to keep in touch with me and help me in any way he could. I have had the incredible experience of having him as not just a trainer or coach but as a friend and brother. his passion for the game is inspiring, and I have yet to meet a coach who wants to continue to learn the game every day. I think everyone can agree that the recruiting process can be a difficult and frustrating process but coach hege remains active in helping his athletes find the schools that are perfect for them. I was blessed to be able to train with coach hege for around ten years, and I can confidently say that his knowledge of not just the physical aspects of the game but of the mental portions as well is what allowed me to become a collegiate athlete and have offers to play baseball after college. he adapts his coaching style to the athlete in front of him and believes in his players even if they don’t believe in themselves. to a trainer, a coach, a mentor, and a brother coach hege is trustworthy and wants nothing but the best for his athletes.”
