"J.R. Castillo was my son’s coach while we were at Hill Country Baseball Academy.  In a short amount of time, I quickly recognized the good fortune of our opportunity to work with Coach Castillo and the many lessons my son would gain. I believe as a result of working with Coach Castillo, my son has developed a new and broader understanding of the game of baseball that goes well beyond the basics. Example, coaches golden rule, that prior preparation prevents poor performance.

His performance as a coach has always demonstrated a healthy obsession for success. He is disciplined, highly organized, and extremely fair. To his players he has always encouraged maintaining the fun and love of the game as well as work/life balance. Coach Castillo has a valuable skill of setting clear and attainable goals for his players and their parents, along with the ability to communicate his expectations directly giving his players every opportunity to succeed. If correction and criticismis warranted, he captures his players’ attention respectfully, explains clearly the fault, followed with instruction of correction, and closes with genuine encouragement of their ability to succeed. If the situation repeats itself, he always makes certain to offer the player his congratulations of making the correction. This is a methodical process that I have witnessed repeatedly.​

His past experience of coaching offers a wealth of knowledge and opportunities, as he is truly a student of the game and an individual that always works towards perfection. His experience has resulted in a development of a method and process for building strong players and successful teams. J.R. Castillo has a passion for providing a level professionalism and work ethic that result in a dependable and loyal to his clients. He is a tremendous example to all those he coaches and their families.

As a parent, I have grown to respect Coach Castillo for the leadership he has provided my son. I have witnessed a number of players grow in their desire “to work with this coach”, one of which is my own. His demeanor and connection with his players is truly a treasure. I have considered our opportunity to work with Coach Castillo as a unique experience and will continue to turn to him for baseball advice when making decisions concerning my son."
