More About Coach Emily

I am a multi-sport coach for kids of all abilities from the ages of 5-18+. I have coached high school soccer and softball for the past couple of years, drawing upon my D1 athletic background.

I was a D1 college softball player at the College of the Holy Cross. I was a 4 year starting center-fielder and specialized in hitting. I was a triple-threat lefty hitter who could hit for power or for finesse depending on the situation. I hold the record for career batting average and single season batting average at Holy Cross and was named 3rd Team All-Region as a Junior in 2015.

My sessions focus on fundamentals of hitting first, breaking down each athletes swing into the tiniest of components to make sure we have a good base to work from. Then our sessions move on to achieving power as a hitter by making tiny changes to their approach and load. From there, we work on identifying pitches out of the pitchers hand and learning to control the direction of the ball off the bat.

Client Reviews

Great Coach!!! My daughter picked up the lesson very quickly and was able to apply the changes to her swing in a tournament the next day. We will continue to work with Emily to hone my daughter softball skills.

Emily has helped my daughter improve her hitting throughout the summer softball season, and we will continue to attend sessions with her this fall.

Coach Emily helped our daughter with batting. She was making contact fairly consistently, but she was having a hard time getting it out of the infield. After a couple sessions, we saw a difference, as the tweaks Emily taught our daughter were effective. Thank you for improving her game!

My granddaughter had her first session with Coach Emily today. She was able to address issues with my granddaughter's swing that she discussed after the session. I look forward to additional sessions with Coach Emily tweaking my granddaughter's swing and unleashing a more powerful swing. Of course, it helps that my granddaughter likes the coach. We will be requesting more sessions after summer vacation.

Coach Emily was great working with our daughter. She worked on her hands/grip and gave her a good idea for a new stance to help her make more consistent and powerful contact. It was great for our daughter in her swing and psychologically (to get out of her slump).

Great coach! One session in and Emily quickly diagnosed problems and in my daughters swing. She helped see what she was doing wrong and how to fix it. Saw improvement in my daughters swing and saw her excitement come back. Definitely seeing her again.

Coach Emily was able to quickly identify some subtle flaws with my daughters swing and came up with drills to help her address them. We saw improvement in just our first session. My daughter is excited to keep working with Coach Emily through out her high school season.
