MBM Baseball Training is Coach Myles Berniard-Mendez's own coaching business, not a multi-coach academy. Every private lesson is 1-on-1 with Myles himself. Coach Myles's full profile →
Lakewood is a baseball town. Between Lakewood Little League and the city's own Lakewood Youth Sports program, there's no shortage of kids playing ball here — which means your player is competing against a deep field every season. Private lessons are how a lot of them find another gear.
We coach the whole game — hitting, fielding, throwing, pitching, and baseball IQ — but we lead with development and mindset. The aim is steady, healthy progress that holds up under game pressure, not a quick fix that fades by the next weekend.
Coach Myles travels to you. We'll pick a field nearby and build the session around exactly what your player is working on, whether that's tryout prep, a swing fix, or first-pitch confidence on the mound.
