About Derek
I have been coaching for 21 years. Formally on staff at Azusa Pacific University, where I served for 5 years (2007-2010, 2013-2015). While on staff I coached the Outfield (2008) as well as the pitching staff (2009, 2010). My time of service at APU were credited as the most achieved in University program history. The program was nationally ranked #1 or #2 (2007-2010) and participated in the College Baseball World Series 2x (2008,2009). I also oversaw the year round strength and conditioning for the baseball (2007-2010, 2014, 2015), Men's and Women's Tennis (2008), Women's soccer (2009), and consulted for women's Track & Field and football programs.
I graduated with a BA in Physical Education from APU that included emphasis in Kinesiology, sport psychology, and coaching. My Graduate studies are in Theology and Apologetics (MA) from Veritas International Seminary. I hold certifications as a Certified Sports Medicine Specialist (CSMS), Certified Performance Flexibility Specialists (CPFS), Certified Master Personal Trainer (CMPT) and Strength and Conditioning Specialists (SCS). Continuing educational units (CEU's) encompass a variety of interests in human performance but included youth Strength training as well as performance and fitness nutrition from the IFPA.

I offer athletes elite performance training programs that derive from scientific based principles. Using a musculoskeletal assessment your individual needs for stability, mobility, flexibility, muscle function, strength, and ability to produce will be analyzed and trained with the required specifics of your goals. The methods used have been proven effective at the University, professional, and international level.
Athletes receive performance training and skill instruction at locations in San Bernardino, and Orange county. Locations offer private 10k square foot training facilities fully equipped for athletic development. Batting and pitching instruction are also offered at private 5k square foot indoor facility equipped with throwing and hitting tunnels

Coach Derek structures every workout to the specific needs of our teen. Coach is very mindful of what our son needs in order to be the best athlete he can be. We appreciate that he shares the amazing way that God created our bodies to move and function. Coach Derek has taken time to come to games, watch videos, and give feedback on what he sees, as well as using that to adjust future workouts. Our son truly enjoys his time with Coach and we feel it has made a big difference for him.
I have had an amazing experience. My coach has fought me many different things through this program to make me an overall better athlete.
Coach Derek has been a great Coach for my son. My son responds well to Coach and loves working with him. My son has become stronger all around and gets complimented on the mound for his improved mechanics. Derek has definitely shown my son how hard work pays off. Highly recommended if you are looking for an all around physical and mental Coach with great knowledge of the body and the game.
Derek has been working with our son for several weeks now. He has worked with his natural skill set making the necessary changes to refine and improve his pitching and hitting. He is patient, methodical and really knows baseball.
I learned a lot about baseball and how my muscles work together to help me perform at my best. This program helped me with arm care and arm strength. Also, it made it so I was more explosive and had a faster first step. I have grown a lot through the program and now I have a better arm and more velocity on my throw.
I liked working at life performance enhancement because I did movements and exercises my body has never done which helped my strength and flexibility. It pushed me to my limits and I became stronger and more physical.
I have had the privilege of training with Derek for my upcoming baseball season. I have played professionally for 7 years and have been using my time with him to further progress my skills. He is training me to be able to maximize my body all working together. I highly recommend him whether you are an athlete, rehabbing an injured y, or looking to get into the best shape possible.
