The 402 Team
John Oltman

What parents and pitchers say
High School → Nebraska All-American → Atlanta Braves (Triple A)
"He helped me transform from a kid who was just trying to play a little in college to having some success while doing it. We worked on every aspect — velocity, arm care, mobility, mental game. Even now I still reach out if I have questions on pitching."
— Brett Sears · Triple A, Atlanta Braves · Nebraska Huskers All-American
Mental Game Transformation
"He was not only a coach but someone I could look up to and trust. I can say with ease that if I had not met John, I wouldn't be the pitcher I am today. He's helped me be calm on the mound, control the moment, and taught me so much about myself as a player and as a man."
— Dylan Johnson · Buena Vista University
Moving on to the next level
"What makes Coach Oltman different from other coaches is his approach on the mental game. He has an app where he uploads mobility workouts, nutrition goals, conditioning, and strength training — plus zoom calls on the mental side. If you're serious about getting to the next level, 402 is 100% worth it."
— Grayson Wallace · Wayne State Commit
Wholistic athletic development
"I have so much appreciation for your focus on the whole athlete and not just their physical skills. He's finally making progress in areas we've tried really hard to address without success. What you're teaching him will be helpful when he's a grown up with a real job, a husband, and a father."
— Kim R. · Parent of current athlete
