More About Coach April
I have 10 years of coaching experience at the high school level (5A and 6A). Coached Division 1 athletes and many more over the years. Playoff experience. I have also coached an 18U Gold Select team. Experience coaching all ages in hitting and fielding.
All State Shortstop, Offensive and Defensive play of the year, Wise county player of the year. Played at the collegiate level in the Lone Star Conference. Lone Star Conference All-Conference 1st Baseman.
Fundamentals, Fundamentals. I start with the bare basics to build from. Once I can see where your athlete is I will continue from there. I believe in a very game style approach. Athletes have to be able to see the pitch to hit the pitch and be able to understand the game when it comes to playing in the field. I will build on their knowledge and run drills that help excel their thought process of the game.

Client Reviews
Brandon (CoachUp client)
April, did a great job with my daughter. I’m excited to see what a difference this will make.
Chris (CoachUp client)
Great Coach. Explains the reasons for movement, feet positioning and proper adjustments. Very knowledgeable in all areas of softball. Was a little nervous at first with the CU app but after our first session. Feel a lot more comfortable with April. The Best coach I’ve had since my little one started Softball. Will be returning for future sessions. Thanks!
Dillon (CoachUp client)
Another great session. My 7 year old daughter is making huge strides in only 2 sessions. Drilled the fundamentals, which we love! Watched her get better over the hour. Highly recommended.
Katherine (CoachUp client)
My 8 yo loves her and can’t wait to see her each week.
Devin (CoachUp client)
My daughter LOVES going to lessons with Coach April. April is very good with her and explains things to her so that she understands. (She is 8) I saw changes after just 1 lesson. I HIGHLY recommend April.
Nick (CoachUp client)
Set up lessons for my 8u. She took to her right away. Fielding instruction was explained and demonstrated in a way that made sense for her. It came together after a few reps. Bat swing is already looking more fluid. Looking forward to our next lesson.
Les (CoachUp client)
I thought Coach April did a great job of connecting with my daughter. She worked several aspects of the game which kept my daughter engaged (despite it being nearly 100 degrees).

Cheryl (CoachUp client)
Coach April has done a great job with my 9 year old twin daughters. They have never played and she’s teaching them the basics. We’ve had 4 sessions and I already see a big impact!
Brandon (CoachUp client)
I saw improvements with my 8 yo daughter’s pitching on the 1st day! The next session, she was successfully laying down bunts. I can’t wait to see what she does with her block/flip skills at the catcher position next.
Kayla (CoachUp client)
Knew what she was talking about and picked up some bad habits I’ve been doing over the years with technique within 5 minutes. Great coach n definitely coming back
30 Year Softball Coach (Testimonial)
Coach Mandel is able to break down skills for younger athletes and new athletes better than most. The athletes are really able to relate to what she is instructing them to do.
