“I give Five Star a lot of credit to the player I am today. Squeeze and the rest of the coaching staff gave me the foundation to excel in this game. The facilities offered to me gave me the opportunity to get my work in to improve my game. I don’t know where I would be without them! I am truly grateful for them!”

-Adam Cootway

 

“Five Star has allowed me to have a home away from home. I have gained life long relationships with both athletes I played with and coach, as well as coaches who coached me. Squeeze and Wick have also worked with me, and allowed me to come back and train while I’m home from college. Not only did I play for them, but I now have the amazing opportunity to work alongside them and coach this 12u softball team. 5 Star is a great program to be a part of if you want to be competitive, but also close like a family. “

-Abby Robbins

 

“Playing for Squeeze was a defining moment in my baseball career. It was here that I transformed from a kid who simply enjoyed striking people out… to a ball player who learned to play the “game inside the game.” It was here where I truly learned that every detail mattered and that the best ball players were the ones who took care of the details the best. It was with Squeeze that I began to learn what it meant to play the game at a high level, and through the new level I found new depths to my passion for the game. Thank you Squeeze for everything you taught me. I am forever grateful.” - Isaac Bixby

 

“5 Star has changed my life. For the 9 years and counting, I’ve grown not only as a ball player, but as a coach, and as a person. Every single day I go into the facility, I learn something new, whether it’s hitting, fielding, or pitching. The attention to detail from the training and coaches is top notch. I’ve been able to grow so much as a player because I get 24 hour access to the facility. I was able to get so many reps in before school and after school. The best part about the place is the coaches. These coaches are different because they have the best interest in the player. They don’t tell you what you want to hear; they tell you what you need to hear in order to be the very best version of yourself. From start to finish, I was a kid who sat the bench half the game because I wasn’t good enough, and now I’m a pitcher at a Junior College in Alabama who is throwing 91 mph. The relationships I’ve made will last me my whole life.”  TJ Hauser 

 

“When I was in my youth, I give squeeze all the credit. I’d workout with him constantly, take ground balls, hit, and just better myself with the game and he was always open for feedback and guidance. He is the man and the best around! Through facility changes, team color switches, and location, he was always the same guy that was caring, genuine, and passionate about player development and building character.

You’re the GOAT, Squeeze!” -Evan Bohman

 

“The coaches at Five Star have played an integral role in shaping me into the player I am today. The moment I walked into the facility, I felt welcomed and at home. The staff took the time to get to know me as both a player and a person and provided me with instruction that was detailed and catered to my needs. What I loved most about practices was that the coaches encouraged us to be genuine athletes. We spent time breaking down mechanics but also had moments where we got to try making some pretty cool plays. These were the nights I gained the most confidence as a player because I was able to prove to myself that I was capable of more than I had originally thought. Overall, I am extremely grateful to have played for an organization that gets to know its players and cheers them on during every step of their journey.”- Morgan Hansel

“Five-star has been a game-changer in my career. The training I’ve received there is high-level and always pushes me to improve every day. The facility is top-notch, providing everything I need to stay sharp and perform at my best. What sets Fivestar apart is the genuine relationships—they truly care about your goals and growth. Being part of that environment has helped me stay focused, motivated, and ready for any opportunity. “

-Zak Vanlerberghe

 

“My time with Squeeze & staff was a huge stepping stone to my career. Coming from a small town, I did not have access to any facilities and the program allowed me to have access year-round to help me hone in my team and individual skills. Without proper facilities, dedicated coaches & staff, and the overall social network and baseball exposure, it would be safe to say I would have missed out on an opportunity to play Division 1 baseball and go on to have a career in the MLB.” -Shane Ryan

 

“Five Star provided me the opportunity to play at the collegiate level by instilling the foundation of a strong work ethic and the desire to grow as a player. The passion and commitment of Coach Squeeze and Coach Wick allowed me to get the most out of my training while also building meaningful relationships along the way.” - Ryan Mesa

 

“The Five Star program and coaching staff has had a highly beneficial impact on my baseball career. I joined the program during my 12U season and have been with them ever since. As a late bloomer, the coaching staff stuck with me and believed in me all the way through. They helped my physical strength, baseball skills, and mental side of the game. The coaching staff also helped me navigate the recruiting process connecting me to college coaches. These skills have helped me make an impact during my first two years at the collegiate level.” - Ryan Csida

 

“What makes 5 Star stand out goes beyond just baseball. The knowledge of the coaches, the energy in the facility, and the guys you’re around every day create something special. Coach Squeeze played a huge role in shaping the foundation of my game, and I truly wouldn’t be where I am today without his impact. This program challenges you not only to become a better player, but a better person. The culture that Coach Squeeze and Coach Wick have built over the years keeps people coming back. Whether it’s current players or alumni training over winter break, it’s a place where guys show up to compete, hold each other accountable, and get better. Every player should experience that kind of environment at some point in their career.”  - Jaden Hackbarth

​

“Five-Star provided me with top tier training. Only though I played 1 year they have taught me how to play the game, while also teaching character, strong work ethic, and mental toughness. Watching my brother grow up and go through the program has helped me become the player I am today. I'm excited to become a collegiate student- athlete this Fall. Coach Squeeze and Coach Wick have created a strong foundation that I am proud to say I was a part of.” - Hannah Stellmacher  

 

“As a parent of 2 kids that have gone through the program, I can’t thank everyone at Five Star enough. Top notch faculty. The training is 2nd to none. Preparing them with the ups and downs of the game with metal toughness. But the real reason for 5 Star is they make you feel like family. Even after one of our kids graduated from college and played college ball, our youngest starting college ball they have stayed in touch with our family, also they let them use the facility when they are home on breaks. 5 Star is a family, and they truly care for your kids.” - Jon & Sarah Stellmacher

 

“Five Star is truly a family that will push you to where you want to be. Coach Squeeze and Wick have helped me immensely throughout my journey. Both bring tons of knowledge about the game to take your game to the next level. What separates them the most is that they genuinely care about each athlete at Five Star. They just want to see you succeed. Many times, they would even stay late after practice to help me with my swing. I am so grateful for my time with Five Star!” - Annika Dugenske

 

“My time with 5 Star Wisconsin, Coach Squeeze, and Coach Wick has been nothing but amazing. Playing for 5 Star has truly built me into the player and person I am today by teaching me hard work, discipline, and that nothing is guaranteed in life. You’re not just another player at 5 Star you’re your own player. They understand not every player is the same and will put in additional one on one work to help you. Coach Squeeze, your guidance and support throughout the entire college recruiting process were also an immense help, and I can’t thank you enough for that. I cannot thank 5 Star enough for everything they’ve done for me and I’m very thankful to be a part of it!” - Quinn Ludvigsen
