My name is Joel Belk and I am a Pitching & Throwing Coach, Performance Fitness Trainer & Athletic Mentor. For the past seven years, I have been dedicated to seeing athletes of all ages recognize and reach their potential.

My focus for the last few years has been helping professional athletes such as Joe Kelly (Dodgers), Josh Staumont (Royals), Tyler Wells (Orioles), and Daniel Robertson (Brewers) with their offseason training. I have learned from Dave Coggin (former Phillies pitcher), one of the brightest minds currently in baseball who is on the cutting edge of throwing mechanics to keep athletes healthy and to maximize power, speed, and velocity.

I attended Azusa Pacific University where I received my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and a Master’s Degree in Leadership and Development. After playing 5 years of baseball at APU, I played a season professionally overseas.

My approach has always been to provide the highest level of instruction, but also invest into helping athletes develop their character and confidence. I believe my role expands beyond the game of baseball as I hope to encourage, support, and coach all of my athletes to the next level of their game.
