Player Testimonials
As a young pitcher, I couldn’t have been more fortunate to have Coach Christenson as a pitching coach. Each year of High School, Coach Christenson improved my velocity, accuracy, and helped me become a smarter, more consistent pitcher. Today, he continues to travel the United States to learn new strategies as to how to make a pitcher more successful. It has been a privilege to have him as a coach and a friend. I strongly recommend Coach Christenson to any pitcher who wants to fulfill their potential.

I am pleased to write this testimonial for coach Ryan Christenson. I have known him for 7 years now, and he has always helped me push myself into working hard and achieving my goals. He has been my pitching coach for 4 years now (2010-13) and he has helped me become not only a much better baseball player, but a better person as well.

Parent Testimonials
My son has attended a number of pitching camps “across the river” and not one of the instructors talked about arm care. With my son starting traveling baseball, I began looking for someone to teach him how to keep his arm healthy. That’s when I found Ryan Christenson. Our discussions started with the Velocity Program. Ryan talked about the research and science behind the Velocity Program. I wasn't looking for something to make my son throw harder, I was looking for something to keep his arm healthy. And that’s exactly what this program does. Ryan has taught my son the proper way to warm up, provided drills to work on for proper pitching mechanics, along with the individualized velocity program. Ryan is providing my son with, as he puts it, “tools for his tool box”. Ryan’s ability to work with young athletes is outstanding. His use of cutting edge technology and providing feedback to the athlete in a way they understand is amazing.
Ryan is always available for questions at any time. He shows the athlete and parent that he truly cares. I am truly pleased with the strides my son has made, not only in his mechanics and his overall arm strength, but most importantly, his ability to stay healthy! I would highly recommend Ryan to any parent looking for help with their child’s throwing, whether it be mechanics, arm strength, and most importantly arm care!!

Ryan began working with our son when he attended a local camp. He has gone on to do several group and individual sessions. The two have developed a relationship unlike any other coach/athlete bond I've seen. Having watched him teach lessons to several others, I feel confident in saying other parents probably feel the same. Ryan takes the time to truly get to know each player, their strengths/weaknesses, how they think/feel about baseball and their performance goals. It's not unusual for him to drive to watch a game on an off day, just to see one of his players in a game situation. We've watched our son make tremendous strides in mechanics and velocity all while strengthening his knowledge and love of this great game. If you're searching for a coach for your child, you can stop looking now. You've found him.

If you are looking for a pitching coach, Coach Christenson is the coach you’re looking for! What I like most about Coach Christenson is his ability to communicate and his attention to detail. Coach Christenson evaluated my son, had him work on specific drills for what he needed to improve his skill set and used his own back ground of pitching experience to help train and coach him. Coach Christenson is an asset to his team and to Field of Dreams!

We came to coach Christenson to help with our 11 year olds control. Coach Christenson took time to do video analysis to identify mechanics for him to work on. Immediately coach Christenson developed a great relationship with our son. Our son understood right away that coach Christenson cared about him improving and truly was committed to helping him get better. Coach Christenson identified three areas to focus on each week and each week our son became more confident on the mound . By the end of the six sessions our son was 100% more confident and showed amazing improvement. We plan to continue to utilize coach Christenson's coaching services and look forward to our son developing more confidence and advanced pitching skills. As a parent I appreciate the follow-up after each session and availability for any questions we had at any time. Coach Christenson responds immediately to our email or phone messages. We would recommend coach Christenson to anyone looking for help improving their child’s pitching skills.
