Hello my name is Gary Oversen and I am the Owner and Baseball Mentor at On The GO Baseball. My passion for the game of baseball started at a very early age. I formed On The GO from that passion. I grew up in Hayward, CA. My baseball experience started in Little League which was a great experience. I remember the way that it felt when the game was new to me. I was always in search of more information about the game. And baseball has such a long history, I continue to learn more about it all the time! After Little League I played in the Babe Ruth league. I got the chance to play in Yuma, AZ where we played in a former minor league ballpark for the San Diego Padres. I stepped in the same batter's box as Tony Gwynn! We lost in the championship game. But I learned how to swallow defeat. Then in Senior Babe Ruth I got to play against teams from Arizona, New Mexico, and Guam. I played four years in high school, lettering three of those years. Playing under the Legendary Coach Jim Bisenius, I split time starting at both second and third base while being the lead off hitter for the team that won the NCS Championship (which is as far as you could go at that time) in 1992. So I was able to feel what it was like to be on the field for the final out of a season. I then played a year of college before going back to become a varsity coach at my old Alma Mater Hayward High. I was was one of the few original instructors at one of the top baseball academies in Northern California, Headfirst Baseball West Coast. I have played with and against many great players over the years, some who have made it all the way to the major leagues! They all have had a hand in shaping my knowledge and love for the great game of BASEBALL!
