Client Reviews

Very impressed with Courtney. She understands how to teach/instruct which is not something every competent instructor knows how to do. Little key things about teaching - like saying what to do, instead of what not to do are big and Courtney clearly understands applies these methods of instruction. She also is comfortable and enjoys (another big factor) working with pre-teen girls - a difficult age to coach. Definitely will be booking more lessons with her.

Courtney worked with my daughter Megan on her hitting. She worked on her stance, timing, loading up and many other techniques and by the end of the session she was consistently hitting hard line drives. Megan really liked Coach Courtney because she also made it fun for her. Megan can't wait for her next lesson.

Courtney has been working with my daughter for over a year and the progress Gretchen has made during that period is just astounding. Courtney understands the absolutes of a good swing and she has an uncanny ability to convey technical skill points in a clear and age appropriate manner. She focuses on the mental approach to hitting just as much as the physical and it pays dividends for her students. Most of all she is a tremendous role model for these younger players and instills toughness and self confidence in the students. As a former coach I am grateful that my daughter has a mentor like Courtney to help her on her softball journey.
I had the fortunate pleasure of helping coach this young lady in travel ball... And it was most unfortunate to see our team play against her in High School.... I would highly recommend you introduce her to your daughter if she wants to play at the Next Level.... All aspects of the game, especially hitting!!
