About

At age 8 years old, Coach Bennett was denied the opportunity to pitch for his Little League team. This lit a spark of determination. He spent several months throwing into a pitch net from sunrise to sunset. Youth baseball success followed from this experience and led to all the fun things baseball can bring. Coach Bennett was hooked.

But, new obstacles appeared. As a freshman at Fairfield College Preparatory School, he tore the growth plate in his elbow. After missing the season, he was no longer considered a high performing youth pitcher. He was cut after a cautious, injury-conscious JV team tryout. Undeterred, he practiced with the team as a non-roster player, enduring plenty of skepticism while learning the true meaning of perseverance.

Mid-season, an injury to a roster player gave him his shot. He threw 5 innings of no-hit ball and earned the win. The next year he made the Varsity squad and, by his senior season, was dominant, representing his school as CT High School All Star and receiving a Division I scholarship to pitch for Siena College.

Like many hard-throwing pitchers of his generation, he relied on arm strength and high volumes of throwing without proper mechanics or arm care. That approach eventually led to Tommy John surgery and the end of his collegiate playing career. The lessons from this journey are the foundation of his coaching philosophy today. Coach Bennett is as obsessed with the game as ever but the obsession has evolved. He has immersed himself in modern biomechanics, arm health science, and mental performance training.

His mission is clear: Help every athlete he works with develop the skills and self-awareness to become their own best coach — while remaining a lifelong mentor and resource in their corner.

He doesn’t just teach mechanics. He builds self-aware, mentally tough players who understand their own bodies, trust their process, and can perform when it matters most. His commitment is all-in: he shows up at games, notices what others miss, and stays invested in “his guys” long after the formal lessons end.
