Bio
Austin Lescanec
Bruce has been contributing to our coaching staff with data and analytics by creating the scouting reports before each game. These scouting reports are helpful not just to myself, as the pitching coach calling pitches, but also the rest of our coaching staff and players with defensive alignments. Having Bruce’s scouting reports eliminates a good chunk of the amount of research and time I have to dedicate to creating my gameplans because I have all of the aggregated data right in front of me. I am very appreciative of the time and effort he has taken to provide this valuable asset to our coaching staff.

I've been lucky enough to work directly with Bruce for the last year. Bruce is a joy to work with and always brings a positive attitude and he always provides strategic value to his clients. With an ever-changing industry, Bruce is constantly changing and he is always eager to learn a new skill or new offering. I can't say enough good things about Bruce! It's been a delight to work alongside him.

Bruce and Lauren addressed the issues in our SEO through a multi-pronged approach (including Google Ads, Google My Business, Blog and Social Media recommendations, and more) and now our web presence on Google is significantly higher, resulting in a steady stream of new people in our programs (which was not happening at all before working with Dynamic Wave Consulting). They were flexible with their timeline and helped us to stay within our budget. Most importantly, they taught me how to do what they did so that I can maintain my web presence moving forward.
