Trusted by Athletes and Coaches at All Levels

We're proud of the results our athletes and coaches have achieved. Read what they're saying about their experience with Blake's training and see how it can help you reach your baseball goals.

My Dude is a magician with hitters! If your kid is struggling at the plate or just looking to take that next step, you need to get with Blake Trahan and The U! Halfway through last season, it just didn’t look like things were linking up for Hunter, and I couldn’t quite figure it out. He was hitting for descent contact but didn’t have much behind it.

I called Blake up, and he and Hunter did a little video hitting session right there in the driveway at like 9:00 at night. Made some adjustments, sent videos over the next few days, and made a few more adjustments, and just from that, the results were evident:

1st 14 games of season: (Avg- .383, SLG- .308)

Last 14 games of season: (Avg- .500, SLG- .750)

That’s all the proof I needed! Made a believer out of me! Thanks for taking the time with him, Bro! ✊🏻

Shoutout to coach Blake at The U! I tell people quite often how blessed we are to live only 20 minutes away from The U.

The U isn’t just where we take lessons. It’s a home and safe harbor we can count on when the road gets rough.

She may do what I say because she has to, but she does what Coach Blake says because she wants to!

Thanks for all you do. Not only for Kinley, but for all of these kids you pour into! Keep moving the needle!

Parent

My son struggles with confidence more than anything. He's always been a naturally talented athlete, but never more than mediocre performance for his age groups due to his lack of experience and development.

Blake hyped him up and pushed him on day 1 and I can already tell that he's going to grow athletically and personally during his time at The U.

Jordana M.

Parent

Bri likes the way hitting is explained and the approach that goes into being an elite hitter. Blake goes above and beyond teaching the fundamentals at any level and also the way he explains, that any age can understand.

Very pleased at results!!!

Go see Blake Trahan at The U in Kinder to see results in your work.

You have to put in the work, but he gives you the work, tools, and the motivation to accomplish your goals. But, you have to do the work.

Brayden has been in The U 2-3 days a week for almost 2 years now. The results are clear.

Eric K.

Elite infield camp at The U. Great instruction, Blake Trahan broke it down perfectly and really challenged the kids both mentally and physically on getting their footwork right so they can flow smooth like butter.

10/10, recommend!

Chad A.

Parent

Unique approach to hitting both mentally and physically, not cookie cutter approach. Never heard a coach ask the questions that Blake does!
