Introduction: My Experience and Coaching philosophy

 

 

     I would like to Welcome you to the Fresno Force Hartsburg.  My name is John Hartsburg and I have been coaching for nineteen years.  I have played baseball most of my life. But having two beautiful daughters, I have transitioned to softball.

     I graduated from Lemoore High School and played baseball for Reedly College for 3 years.  I transferred to Fresno State where I earned a B.A., Teaching Credential and a Master's Degree in Education.

     I started my coaching Career at Riverdale High School where I was an Assistant Football Coach and Head JV Baseball Coach.  After 2 years I had the opportunity to take over  struggling Baseball Program.  In my 4 years as Varsity Head Baseball Coach, our team improved from 4-22 to 17-10 making the Playoffs for the first time in 20 years.

    After 6 years at Riverdale, I transfered to Central Unified where I taught 4th, 5th  and 8th grade.  I Coached Baseball, Basketball, Football and was the Athletic Director at the Elementary level.   I also became a Catchers Coach for Central High Varsity Baseball Team for two years.  I also Coached the Central Grizzlies 10U B travel ball team, Liddell Soccer, and Central Rec. 

    We then moved to Clovis, and started teaching at Clark Intermediate. I became a Coach for the Clovis Bullets.  In my two years as a Coach for the Bullets, I became the Vice President and President of the organization.  I took my Clovis Bullets 12U team (33-11 Record) and placed 17 out of 52 teams at Western Nationals.

   As a coach, I believe in being Positive with my players.  The game of softball is a game of failure.  The game beats you up enough.  I hold the girls accountable, while instructing them on how to fix their mistake the next play.  I believe that softball is great opportunity to teach our players how to work hard, overcome adversity and be good teammates.  

    My goal for this season is to create a Family of players who will continue through high school as a team.  I am in this for the long haul.  I am highly invested in the team and will do my best to make sure your daughters have the best opportunity to reach their Softball and College Goals.  

I hope to see you at Tryouts.  

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  559-779-6968

Thank you, 

John Hartsburg
