Testimonials

“I have known Dave for many years, he was raised in a baseball family, has played, coached & taught the game his entire life.

Players would not only be taught how to execute the skills of the game through drills, but gain knowledge of the proper & right way the game should be played.

This strength of Dave’s is what sets him apart from many other coaches & teachers lacking his knowledge & experience. –-Brad Mills – Houston Astros Field Manager.


Coach and Play Youth Baseball Tips “If you looking for a baseball professional to make a difference, then look no further than Dave Holt. If you’re looking for a coach that possesses never ending passion, unwavering dedication, and an all out commitment then your search will end when your hire Dave Holt.

I have known Dave Holt for over thirty years. He is a man of integrity, extremely committed, and he understands his craft like very few coaches do. His knowledge of fundamentals, fundraising, coupled with his ability to engage alumni, and handle the public relations of a program make him a powerful force who will create long term success to whoever makes the decision to hire him.

If you are looking to hire a PRO. Then hire Dave Holt , Professional Reliable and highly Organized..” November 30, 2009 Ray O'Canto, PRESIDENT, NTD MEDIA (business partner)

Top Qualities: Great Results, Personable, Expert

“Dave Holt was hired to educate two of my sons on the fundamentals of baseball - hitting, catching, throwing, and pitching. He had a mature professional approach in dealing with young adults, one that I find similar to that of a college full professor who has mastered the skills and techniques necessary to teach successfully.

I have also watched Dave teach and guide college level student athletes during his summer seasons with the Salinas Packers. He did an outstanding professional job of running both the team and the business. It was a regrettable that the Salinas area and temperature could not accommodate summer baseball. I believe Dave to be a great educator and coach.” June 10, 2010.Eugene J. Guglielmo, Ph,D. (client)Eugene J. hired you as a Personal Trainer in 1999 and hired you more than once..
