Riley is AMAZING! Totally changed my mental perspective on softball which turned into RESULTS during my .396 hitting season at BYU. He knows his stuff, and tailors his knowledge to benefit each athlete and their specific needs. He was awesome to work with, caring.. but also pushes you out of your comfort zone. I totally recommend working with him!
