In fact, several of the drills that I do on an everyday basis with the Miami Marlins' coaching staff were drills that were originally introduced to me by Coach Gurney." - Tom Koehler, Pitcher- Miami Marlins
 "Coach Gurney has been a great resource for all things baseball. Through his years of working with players of all ages, it is easy to instill all of your confidence in Coach Gurney."

 "The insightful hitting and pitching feedback has already led to a vast improvement for Alex during games. What we love most about the virtual experience is that we are able to reference the virtual training session video recording as much as we like. My wife also liked that Alex got professional instruction with just an iPhone and batting tee in our backyard!” Chris Busch (Parent of Alex Busch, 8) Pleasantville, NY
"My 12 year old son Ryan loves baseball. Recently Coach Gurney did an amazing side by side video analysis for him against an MLB pitcher. His analysis were very thorough and extremely helpful. He broke his pitching down to 4 steps and gave a key information to help Ryan prosper further. This is something no other coach has ever done. Ryan worked on the tweaks Coach Gurney suggested and able to pitch much harder. He had his first no hitter game and pitches with great confidence. I can’t thank coach Gurney enough for everything he does."
Faisal Akram (Parent of Ryan Akram, Age 12) Putnam Valley, NY
