Private Coaching
Infield
The infield is where games are decided on routine plays. Coach Myles builds clean footwork, soft hands, and an accurate throw across the diamond, so a player can be counted on to make the play every time it matters.
Good infield play starts before the ball is hit. Coach Myles teaches the pre-pitch read, the first-step quickness, and the footwork that puts a fielder in position to field the ball cleanly and throw on balance. Soft, confident hands and the right glove angles turn hard chances into outs.
From there it's about the throw and the situation. Accuracy across the diamond, the footwork on the double-play turn, and knowing where to go with the ball before it's hit — Coach Myles works the physical skill and the decision-making together, because an infielder has to do both in the same breath.

Common Questions
Infield — Common Questions
What positions does infield coaching cover?
First, second, short, and third — the footwork, glovework, and throws each demands. Coach Myles tailors the work to where a player plays and where they want to play.
My player has trouble with ground balls — can that be fixed?
Yes. Clean ground-ball fielding comes down to footwork, hand position, and reps — Coach Myles breaks it down and rebuilds the habit so routine plays become automatic.
