Coach Joe is one of the reasons I am still playing baseball to this day. I am a 23 years old college catcher and have been playing under him since I was 11 years old and he has helped progress my career to what it is today. From his coaching to the tools he uses like the PTWeb, to technology put into place to test your mental game like Blink Challenge, Joe has been instrumental to not only my playing career, but to my life as well. I owe a lot to this man and I would not be anywhere near the college level if not for his teaching. I would highly recommend him for your son's and daughter's baseball needs.

My son Chris has been going to Coach Joe for over a year now since he was 11 years old.
There is a reason my son continues to go to Coach Joe and to sum it up in one word ” RESULTS!” Every time my son needs tweaking with his mechanics, either with hitting or pitching, Coach Joe brings to the table a professional baseball background, teaches and talks from personal experience, and truly cares about the players and their development. I can only say nothing but positive things about Coach Joe. If you want your son to improve their baseball skills, I would highly recommend that you reach out to Coach Joe Ferrerra.

During my sixteen years of playing baseball at a multitude of levels ranging from
t- ball, to little league, playing at a competitive level of travel baseball, as well as playing all four years at the high school I attended. With these experiences and overall time, I’ve played the game I have had many coaches ranging from fielding coaches, hitting couches, strength and conditioning coaches, and overall player-based coaches. But in my career, I have never come across a coach as dedicated, experienced, and overly committed to his players as Coach Ferrerra. He speaks to you as a friend and he treats you with a tremendous amount of respect and care. He puts his heart and soul into all of his players and wants every single one of them to succeed in what they set out to do. I had the pleasure of having Coach Ferrerra as my coach for just over two years, and everything he taught me changed the way I played the game making me a better player and overly a better person and individual I could ever ask to be. Even setting aside the factor of being a Coach, Joe has been an amazing friend that truly is always there for me at every call or text, whether that is to come out and help players or just to talk and check in on life. Coach Ferrerra puts so much time into his players and makes each and everyone feel thought of and valued for the player and person they are. Coach Ferrerra builds not just a player that can conquer the baseball field but he builds a community of great players and treats each of us as his own family. His knowledge of the game of baseball is jaw-dropping, he has techniques and styles that can change a player's play style and make them an outstanding athlete, he doesn’t just change a player's swing or fielding techniques he helps that player mold their techniques into an outstanding and
flawless action, that player than can handle any situation or circumstance they are put in on the ball field by just having Coach Ferrerra work with them on their skills. Coach Ferrerra is an outstanding coach and an even better friend that is always there for his players. Coach Joe is by far the best coach I’ve ever had, and He is truly an outstanding individual that has changed my life. Coach Joe trained me and gave me the confidence to be successful and told me that I was a great baseball player and showed me how to view myself with the proper confidence and respect I needed to see in my skill. Once again, an absolutely amazing person that has not only changed my life but so many others.

My son and I met Joe about 12 years ago at a baseball practice. My son is now playing in college and still works with Joe when he is home during school breaks. I've watched him work with hundreds of kids and families over the years and have never seen a better coach. His has a wide range of skills to work with including baseball, football, conditioning, physical therapy, etc. He understands how the body works and how the mind can help develop it. The PTWeb is an excellent extension of his knowledge and allows my son and I the ability to get work in even indoors during the rain. We can work on catcher drills, ground balls, etc, all with resistance. And BlinkChallenge is an awesome tool for challenging your mind and making quick decisions. He's used it for many teams and players over the years. You can watch a game and see which players use the tool. They are constantly watching every pitch to find the smallest advantage for the next at bat.
Finally, though, I have to say that one of Joe's best traits is that he give his full attention to every person he works with. It doesn't matter if you are a beast, underweight, tall, short, fast, slow, experienced or brand new to the sport. Everyone gets coached, and everyone gets challenged with game-time experience. Joe treats every player like they are his own child. Full attention. Full corrections. Full commitment.
My experience with Joe is nothing less than life changing. When I first met him I was struggling. I had made the all star team but when we started practicing I hit a huge slump. I tried everything but just couldn’t get out of it. Finally I heard about coach Joe, I had seen him before practicing with kids along the street but really I knew nothing about him. He helped me get out of my slump and I have been going to him ever since. Thanks to coach Joe and his amazing coaching I am now still playing baseball and with his help have excelled and have become a great batter. One of the greatest things Joe has introduced me to is his PT web. It’s all around a great investment because you can do almost anything you can imagine with it. You can stretch and get loose with it but you can also get a great workout in with it because of how great of a tool it is. I personally own one and I use it to get loose before my workouts and I use it for some finisher workouts once I am don’t with my workout. Thanks to Coach Joe and his love for us I am happy to say I have become not only a better player but also a better person. Thank you coach.

Coach Joe is one of the greatest coaches I’ve ever had the chance to play for. He knows more about the game than anyone and knows how to train a players mind and body. He is one of the few coaches that loves what he does and that’s what makes him the best. Off the field, Coach has incredible ingenuity. I’ve used both blink challenge and PTWeb. Blink challenge really helped bring up my baseball IQ and helped me understand what I need to be doing on the field. It’s format is simple and easy to use which is incredibly important these days. PTWeb is an excellent tool to gain strength through baseball training. It is the only tool I have ever used that can help me better my strength and my skill as a ball player. You need to hit the ball farther, throw harder, and/or a quicker pop time, this is the tool.

Alex G - Los Gatos High
There are endless good things to say about the way Coach Joe coaches, but one aspect that sticks out more than the others is how involved he gets when he's teaching. I've had countless coaches over the years, and most if not all of them just talk their way through a workout. When Coach Joe runs a workout he is moving non stop, he's going from station to station helping as many players as he can. That's a way he earned my respect. After saying all of that, one thing that goes without question with Coach Joe is he's in it to help YOU get better. He's not in it for the money, he's all hands on deck to make you a better ball player AND a better person.

I didn’t know what to expect when I first went to see coach Joe. Hitting was just see the ball and hit the ball. What I’ve learned over the past 2 plus years has changed not only how I look at hitting and baseball, but all the sports I play.
​
Our first workouts were him just letting me swing and us talking, about lots of things. He was getting to know me and my swing. As we got into the workouts he began explaining my swing to me. Making adjustments to the swing I already had and letting me know why we were doing it. Coach Joe works hard on the mental side too, he really wants us to be aggressive at the plate and gives us keys to get into that frame of mind. After a few weeks the results started to really show and my confidence skyrocketed.
Over the years I can hardly believe how much better a hitter I am. I’ve even got a friend or two to start seeing coach just based on my improvement. I plan on contouring seeing coach Joe throughout high school.

PTWeb is a life changing Fitness and Health must have!! I am 37 year old man, that at one point in my early adult years was very athletic and cared about my healthy and well being. With life and kids in the picture my drive for wanting to re-submerge myself with getting back to where I used to be with Fitness seemed far and away. I was never the type to want to stay 1-3 hours inside the gym but instead be able to workout anywhere anytime. This is why PTWeb was the clear choice for me! PTWeb allows me to set up virtually anywhere. I carry my PTWeb with me all the time! I am able to fit the system in a small sleek bag provided from the company, this allows me to easily wear to a park, hiking, or just while I’m out and about on a bike ride. I can set up in a matter of seconds and get a top quality workout in a matter of minutes. I keep the PTWeb in my car so even while I’m at work I can set up and get a workout from my office! I love this system because it is so versatile and literally adapts to whatever workout I want. Lastly my son is a high level baseball athlete and I am able to workout with him with baseball acclimated sessions that are Top notch!

Overall PTWeb has changed my life bringing Health, Fitness and Balance back to me and my family.
Thank you so much!
Richard O, Coach
When I first went to coach Joe’s I had a weak all arms swing when batting. Very quickly after few weeks doing the Pt web at Joe’s and doing my own things at home I had developed a strong full body swing. Coach Joe helped use my whole body when doing things and not just a little bit of it. He also helped with creating a strong work ethic when doing baseball. He stressed the importance of caring about the game and caring about getting to the next level of play. Before working with Joe I had been struggling making a travel ball team. After working with Joe I made a travel ball team.
Billy B - Best Speed
Coach Joe is an inspirational and one of the most hardworking coaches I’ve worked with. At his workouts, you will rarely find people standing around doing nothing because he always has something for you to do even if it’s just throwing a ball against a wall. He created this device call the PTWeb and you can hook it on to fences or doors. It really helps with your upper body strength and with your swing. I use this almost every day and I love it. Joe also likes to make jokes about others at his workouts but in a fun way. He would never make you feel like you don’t belong. Never rely on him to remember your name though because most of the time he will call you a completely different one.

Preston - GB High
Ever since a young age I struggled in trying to become a better, more
efficient, and more in tuned baseball player. Each day I would work hard yet, at a
certain point I couldn’t seem to get past a wall I had built in my mentality, form,
and physical strength. Coach Joe is one of the biggest reasons I was able to get
past these problems, not only on the field but also throughout my personal life.
What made Coach Joe stand out from other coaches is for the fact he would
never put us down and tell us what we did wrong, instead he took his time to
analyze his players and get to know them better in order to show us what we
could work on in our form and mentality. Through his style of coaching and
optimistic attitude, each person he taught became strong, successful, and
confident players on the field and in life. If it weren’t for Coach Joe, I wouldn’t
have the strong build of perseverance and optimism I do today.
Cade H- Grunts 2017
I started working with Coach Joe when I was about 8 years old. I was on his Oorah Grunts team and I participated in hitting and catching workouts on a weekly basis for several years. Even as a high school graduate entering college baseball, I am still reaching out to Coach Joe to help me fine tune my swing.
Not only did Coach Joe help me with baseball fundamentals, he helped me on a personal level. He helped me come out of my shell and believe in myself. It’s an environment where players want to give 100% no matter what. He helps me build the confidence that I need to be successful on the field and in life. Coach Joe has the ability to really understand my game, my skill set, and he is able to adjust his message in a way that is easy to understand.
His knowledge of the game is top notch and he makes every moment a teachable moment. I feel like he has my best interest in mind. He pushes me to be the best player that I can be! I feel fortunate to have Coach Joe guiding me through my baseball career for the past decade. I will always look to him for development and inspiration.
