Coach Bergy Yannick Bergeron
Program Director and Head Coach
Yannick Bergeron has more than 15 years of coaching experience, in both individual development and leading teams. He has served as clinics coordinator and head instructor at Centre de balle Le Sandlot, offensive coordinator and head coach (18U) at the Canadian Baseball Academy (ABC), hitting coordinator and head coach (15U AAA) for the Patriotes de De Mortagne, and head coach within the Florida program of the Canada Reds organization.
His work as an instructor has left its mark on several of Québec's top prospects. Many of his former players have earned scholarships, both at Junior Colleges such as Weatherford, Wabash, and Cowley, and at Division 1 universities such as Maryland and Texas Tech, among others. Some of his former players have even reached the professional ranks.
A player before he was a coach, Bergeron came up through Charlesbourg's Midget AAA starting in 1996, then the Alouettes de Charlesbourg at the Junior Elite level from 1997 to 2002, winning 5 league championships and 2 Canadian championships, competing at the Canada Games, being named playoff MVP twice, and breaking 5 league records — while also taking part in a few training camps with the Capitales de Québec.
The Capitales de Québec helped him continue his path to the United States on a series of full scholarships: New Mexico Junior College, then Weatherford College (Texas), where he was named to his conference's first all-star team, then St. Edward's University. His senior season at St. Edward's stood out: he was named to the Heartland Conference's first all-star team, and the Canadian Baseball Network named him to its first All-Canadian college team that same year.
Yannick graduated with honors in accounting from St. Edward's University in 2007, while maintaining one of the top academic averages in college baseball — a rigor he now passes on to his players, on the field and off.
During his transition from player to coach, he balanced coaching with a career as an accounting analyst for Bombardier Aerospace, then as a controller for Thomas & Betts — two internationally-scaled companies.
