We are thrilled that our god son has an opportunity to work with someone who is so knowledgeable about baseball. Cole was a pro, scout and is now a fabulous coach. His approach is straight forward. I feel really fortunate to even have someone with this type of background and skill set available to work with my son. He strives for the best and is always giving advice for improvement. Cole is also very involved with getting his serious players to the next level. He is committed to perfect practice which means that you have to take practice seriously, or you will not improve. He also helps players gain mental toughness and confidence which is super important for serious players. He teaches all ages and really loves what he does. He is 100% committed. We would recommend him to anyone who loves the game. read more

Cole did a fantastic job training 12 kids last week. From t-ball, pinto to bronco age groups. All kids were totally engaged (2 hours). Hard to believe that 5 year old kids were in learning mode for that long. 110% credit goes to Coles approach, kids had a blast. I am a huge fan of Cole Liniak read more

As a former MLB player, Cole doesn't just teach the skills, he coaches on the fundamentals and attitude as well.....and, KEEPS IT FUN! Cole turned my less than confident next-door-neighbor in to a shining star (which can be noticed on the baseball diamond) and helped [in turn] boost his self esteem at school. COLE IS AMAZING!! Parker looks forward to 2 BIG things week-to-week (EVERY WEEK) and that's his baseball game (and practices) and his training with Cole!! I am so glad that I referred Parker to Cole Liniak and I am very impressed with the results. THANKS COLE!!! read more

North county is home to many world class athletes, including Cole Liniak! After three seasons of lackluster t-ball (watching my son look for bugs during games), he developed a strong interest in baseball. Not sure where it came from but we were all about supporting his newfound interest. We worked with Cole for a couple of months and the improvements my son made were incredible. He's so confident with his baseball skills and is absolutely loving the game. Cole's credentials differentiate him from just about all of the options out there. My son was fascinated by the fact he played professionally. While that definitely helped him listen up, Cole is great with kids, whether one-on-one or in a group setting. Highly recommend! read more

Our family found Cole Liniak through a long time friend. He is a former Major League Baseball player of the Chicago Cubs and played professionally for 12 years. He is great with kids of all ages and really understands how to teach the game of baseball. We are thrilled to have found a coach and mentor for our son! Cole continues to explain to our son that if he wants to go far in this game, he has to be a complete player, not just a hitter. If you want to see results, Cole is your guy! read more

"Cole is the best coach around North County to help kids who play travel ball, rec ball or just have a love of the game. " That is a quote from my son who has been working with Cole for about 2 months now. He now plays travel ball and I can tell you that a big reason is because of the coaching we receive from Cole! In a short time he has turned his game completely around and my son is a new player -- he is more confident, he is more athletic and he has a comprehensive understanding of the game. If you (like us) are tired of daddy ball -- go out and hire Cole, you won't be disappointed! Can't wait for him to start a development league! read more

A lot of this was due to Cole's knowledge both as a player, a coach and a mentor to our players. He has a special way with kids at all levels and can teach all aspects of the game. I cannot say enough of the manner in which Cole teaches an approach to the game, and the mental make-up required of those who play it.......successfully. Anyone who listens to Cole, will be a better person and player. read more

My review on Cole is more of a lifetime of knowing Cole as a person and a friend for the last 15+ years.. Throughout those years of knowing each other I've always looked up to Cole for more than his abilities of being a great athlete but because he is such a solid, fair, generous person that wears his heart on his sleeve. He has always been known to reach out and help people in any circumstance. He is smart, driven and just a natural at building people up and making them feel and be better in the process. read more

My son's coach scheduled a clinic with Cole Liniak for all the players on his team and invited interested siblings as well. I was very surprised at how enrolled ALL the kids were! Cole was able to segregate the groups based on skill and focused on techniques that would benefit each group the most. I was taken aback by his supportive tact, commitment to educate, and how proficient he was at building up existing skills. I definitely recommend checking his services out. Both of my kids left with exercises and practice techniques that will benefit them for years to come. read more

Had a great experience with Cole today. He gave a 1 hour lesson to my 7 year old nephew. Cole was very professional and informative and very particular about the technique. This was my nephew's first time learning the sport and he loved it. Cole also signed his glove :) Overall a great experience !!! read more

Cole is the Man!!!!!! I brought my boys for private lessons with Cole and he started them out with the basics. After a few short lessons and some hard work at home my boys are legit ball players. I am a coach for the kids teams and I learned as much from their lessons as they did. If you are considering options to help your kids learn how to be a fundamentally sound ballplayer Cole is your man. He is very patient and makes it fun even for the little guys. read more

For my Son's birthday we gathered his teammates and had Cole take them through some afternoon drills. The kids had a blast, everyone of them learned some new tricks and looked up to Cole like a true hero. All the other parents appreciated the different approach to a birthday party. Forget the jumpy castle, video games and Ice Cream! My son came home and was immediately begging me to grab my mit and head back to the park. read more

This is my six year old son's first year of Little League and he had a rough start because he's never really even played or thought about playing baseball. He did okay at the first couple of practices, but after one session with Cole, he's gained confidence and a better overall grasp for the game of baseball. Cole was awesome. He brought a couple of his baseball cards and sunflower seeds for my son and his friend to warm them up they were immediately stoked! Throughout the lesson, Cole was very engaged with the two boys (both six years old), patient, really worked with them on the fundamentals, batting, throwing, catching, then took them in the batting cages and let them take some swings. I know first hand how hard it is to work with kids, but Cole made it look easy, and actually gave me some great pointers to take home and practice with my kid. I would recommend Cole to anybody at any skill level--Cole knows baseball, that's for sure. read more

Cole is an amazing teacher! He's an ex-MLB'er and has great fundamentals and outlook on the game. He's patient and is great with the kids and also gives me pointers on what to work on with my kids at home as a parent. He helped my 2 boys really fall in love with the game and I'd highly recommend him!!! read more

I can not say enough good things about coach Cole. After one hitting lesson with my 7 year old, his game drastically improved. He is a magic man and my son absolutely loved the time they spent together. According to my son, the only problem with Cole is that he doesn't also coach soccer. If we lived in town we would see him regularly! 10 stars!!!!! read more

Cole is highly recommended to anyone looking to improve their skills regardless of age. He coached me for three years and i learned more about hitting than i ever had in my life. Not every coach has Major League experience like Cole. He teaches about the ins and outs of the game and the intangibles it takes to become a successful player. He is great with kids and will shape them for a lifetime. He adjusts to every players style and will not dissapoint. Couldn't thank cole enough for helping me become the man i am today. read more

When we found Cole Liniak to give our son baseball lessons we felt like we hit a game winning grand slam!! Cole is an incredible baseball instructor and has all of the baseball knowledge and skills to teach kids at any level. What really separates Cole and makes him such an amazing instructor though is his ability to connect with the kids he teaches. Cole knows exactly when to encourage the kids and when it is time to push them to the next level and he does all of that while still keeping it fun. With Cole's Major League professional background he has the respect and attention of all the kids he teaches because Cole has already been where all kids dream of playing. We have seen a dramatic improvement in both our son's play and confidence since working with Cole. Whether your son is just getting started or ready to take his game to the next level I would highly recommend Cole. read more

I recently spent 4 hours observing Cole Liniak work with my 7 and 5 year old grandsons who are baseball lovers. They each had 2 private one hour lessons. They now love baseball more than ever, their confidence is soaring, and their skills are top notch. The boys want to work more often with Cole because he made learning so much fun. I am an ex-educator, a Family Therapist, mom and grandmother. I have been in sports most of my life as a participant and kids' coach. I recommend Cole because he is a natural teacher. He is positive, gives great models to follow, is sequential in his instruction, and adapts seamlessly to the developmental level of the child. Cole is having fun and relaxed, continually focused on the child. My grandsons were captivated by Cole's dynamic personality and positive encouragement. Cole never over-corrected, a common flaw in working with kids. Instead, he built on a foundation of demonstration, explanation, and breaking skills down so the child could succeed to mastery. Cole is an awesome instructor. read more
