I would like to share a recent experience working with Coach Mongero. My 15 year old son is in his
fourth year of playing competitive baseball. During this time period, he has
played in many baseball tournaments up and down the east coast and attended nationally
recognized (and expensive) instructional baseball camps to advance his skills
and knowledge of this great game. I will also add that he is committed to
working hard to improve his game.
In July of 2011, I hiredCoach Trent Mongero to work privately with my son. After outlining a four day
plan consisting of two sessions each day working with coach Mongero
“one-on-one”, the two of us flew from our home in New York to Georgia
to make this happen – I believed so strongly in what he would gain from working
with Mongero at this stage of his life (in both player and personal
development) I made it a priority to make the investment in this trip.
To say son had a great experience from these four days would be an understatement. The effectiveness
of coach Mongero’s teachings were truly powerful and meaningful. I was able to witness
my son quickly put to use what he was being taught. I was extremely impressed
with the thoroughness and extraordinary commitment to detail in each skill
being taught. Between clear and concise explanation and flawless demonstration
by Mongero himself, the teachings were very well absorbed and implemented. And,
while coach Mongero is demanding of his student he is able to balance his
sternness with compassion; he treated my son respectfully and there was always an
underlying decency in all the instruction and interaction.
I believe what makes Mongero a special coach, teacher and
mentor goes far beyond his complete understanding of baseball at the highest
level. I think the difference lies in his passion: not only for the game (one
can’t be in his presence for very long and not pick up on this) but also for
his desire for his student to firmly grasp the techniques and concepts being
taught. He is not satisfied to simply teach – he wants to see the
student demonstrate to him what has been taught to validate that it has been
properly learned and then repeat it, again and again. Also, what I liked about
Mongero’s approach is how he would converse with my son. Typically, before,
during and after working on a drill or game concept they would discuss the:
why’s, what’s, how’s, etc…. and I could tell this dialogue would
help to deepen his understanding of what was being learned. Working with
coach Mongero was very positive for my son and has had a lasting impact. From
my experiences, Mongero is a rare find.

WBA provides unmatched professional Skills training. Coach Mongero teaches
all position skills to advance a player to the next level by example
with quality repetitions, utilizing real game situations and the most
advanced equipment available. WBA also equips players with the mental
and leadership skills needed to compete and win at the highest level.
The results speak for themselves.

Coach Mongero’s camps are one of the greatest experiences a young baseball
player could have. My 13 yr old grandson went to his camp and watch his
dvd’s and could not wait to get on the ball field and use all the
teaching he learned. Coach Mongero’s camp has definately make him a
better ball player. Can’t wait to read the new book and see the dvd’s.

Coach Mongero has been a great influence in my sons life. After going to his advance baseball camps, watching his DVD’S
My son has received more knowledge of the game. Knowing what to do in
key situations is so important, understanding the game is huge, and its
the little things that can put you on top of your game!… I see such a
huge difference in my sons game, he is more relaxed and confident
because he knows what to do and where to go with the ball. Congrats on
your new book (Winning Baseball)

My son attended all three of your camps this year and received excellent
instruction. This camp was by far the best our family has every
experienced. We have been to several camps where there were 150-175
players and the instruction was good, but it was not personalized. You
and your staff gave great information, but then you took it a step
further and personalized it for each player. Not only did you take it to
another level, you provided DVD’s
for the players to take home and reference. We will continue to return
to your camps each year. You will not be able to find this quality of
instruction, at this price, any where in the country. Thank you for your
hard work, dedication.

Mr. Mongero, I am 13 and I play shortstop, pitcher, and catcher for my
middle school team. I have been watching your infield dvd, and it has
helped me improve in fielding normal ground balls on a regular basis. By
watching the dvd it has helped me to try it on my own in practice and
in game situations. Now I am adding the little things such as watching
my feet position and holding the glove properly. It has been helping me
to make clean plays instead of them being choppy. Next I want to try the
pitching and hitting dvd’s.
