What People are Saying About Backstop Catching!

Patrick Casey

Assistant Coach, University of Minnesota 

"What Nolan has put together with Backstop Catching is truly phenomenal. It's a first rate and detailed approach to the catching position that will give any aspiring player and coach the mental and physical edge to becoming the best version of themselves."

Adam Christ 

Assistant Baseball Coach, University of Illinois

"I had the pleasure to watch Nolan grow and develop into one of the best catchers I have been around. My time with him at Minnesota State, Mankato showed me his ability to study, prepare, and lead not only a pitching staff but a team. It will be tough to find a catcher that was trusted more by his pitching staff than he was.
Nolan’s attention to detail and drive to be the best made him and our team into a Championship team. Backstop Catching will give players, parents, and coaches a road map to the toughest position on the baseball field!"

Matt Magers

Head Baseball Coach, Minnesota State University, Mankato

"Nolan is a true student of the game, his attention to detail and passion to excel allowed him to compete at a high level consistently. His knowledge of the game specifically the catching position is tremendous, it was like having a coach on the field when he was behind the plate."

Shaun Wegner

Associate Head Baseball Coach, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee 

“I was able to watch Nolan develop and grow into one of the best catchers in the country through our time together at Minnesota State, Mankato. His unrelenting drive and focus on his game was visible to anyone who was watching. Nolan may have been quiet but his game spoke volumes for him. He was a selfless, determined leader always looking to become the best catcher for his pitching staff. His impact on catchers and a pitching staff will now be shared through his insight and knowledge here at Backstop Catching!”

Steve McGuiggan

Founder of Minnesota Mash Baseball Club & Positive Coaching Alliance 'Coach Of The Year' Recipient 

"In order to build a top level development program in the country, we knew that consistently 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 Nolan is giving us a competitive edge over our competition."

Tim Stewart

"Nolan has been my catching coach for a number of years. I have grown tremendously as a catcher not only with my physical abilities but how I can control the game. Nolan taught me how to consistently be the best catcher I can be."

Zeke Nachtigal

"Working with Nolan has improved and changed my catching skills. I thought I knew how to catch, but from the first day I started working with Nolan he brought a new meaning on how to block, catch, and throw a baseball. His coaching helped me feel more confident and comfortable as a catcher. He helped me fix bad catching habits and replace them with new good habits. He showed me that catching is art form. Nolan is the best catching coach I’ve ever had."

Connor McCallum

"I have tried many many options for quality catchers training, to me, the only program that offers a proper and deep understanding of the catching position is with Nolan and 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!"
