Jon Heiderscheit

"Backstop is extremely useful for any coach or player looking to begin or increase their catching performance and knowledge. We feel much more comfortable with coaching the position."

Tim Stewart

"I have grown tremendously as a catcher not only with my physical abilities but how I can control the game. Backstop taught me how to consistently be the best catcher I can be."

Zeke Nachtigal

"Backstop Catching fixed my bad catching habits and replaced them with new proper ones. It showed me that catching is art form. Nolan is the best catching coach I’ve ever had."

Adam Jones

"This course was perfect for me. I have been a catcher all of my life and thought I knew it all. Sometimes you just need an expert to help show you the best way of doing things more efficiently. My performance and health have never been better!

Steve McGuiggan

"We knew that having an elite level catcher gave us the most success on the national stage. The drills, mindset, and leadership we have in our catchers thanks to Backstop is giving us a competitive edge over our competition."

Connor McCallum

"The only program that offers a deep understanding of the catching position is Backstop Catching. As someone who enjoys learning and coaching the position but has never played it, I have found this program immensely useful and informative!"
