More About Coach Heather

20 years of Divison 1, High School Varsity, and Elite level ASA Summerball. I have worked at Texas State, West Albany High School and Pleasant Hill High School and have won conference titles at all three. I have coached two all Americans and numerous all state and all conference selections. I typically work with players from 13 years old to college. I have been extremely lucky to learn from numerous pitching coaches growing up (Michelle Smith, Terri Carnicelli, and Cheri Kempf).

*Please include a profile picture related to your sport if possible that clearly shows your face*

I was an All-State Catcher at Thurston High School, but would consider myself a utility player. I played wherever the team needed me. I have played all positions except centerfield. Played on 4 different ASA teams that qualified for Nationals and one that won the prestigious Colorado Fireworks Tournament.
I was an All PAC-12 Catcher at the University of Oregon, All-PAC-12 Academic selection, and All Region 8 Selection. I broke the homerun record at the Unviersity of Oregon my senior year, 1997, as well as leading the team in most offensive categories. I was drafted by the Tampa Bay Firesticks out of college. Our team made it to post season twice during my time there. My high school teams were consistently ranked top 5 in the state and I was Coach of the Year for PAC-West in 2014.

Confidence is created by competence. My athletes need to understand that proper mechanics and basic fundamentals are the building blocks of great swings and pitching motions. My athletes are taught from the ground up, just like a house needs a solid foundation so do athletes. Likewise, my goal is for my athletes to get better everyday and to learn something new everyday. If the movement is not perfect we will not advance. I BELIEVE IN QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. We improved with focused practice with a purpose and an athlete understanding why we do what we do. I have coached un athletic players and Division 1 athletes and we all learn differently some are audible, feel, or sight. I can access how an athlete learns and DO SIMPLE BETTER. It's not rocket science its softball!

Client Reviews

Coach Holte was very easy to talk to and listened. Evaluated my 10u daughter for both hitting and pitching, and gave us valuable tips to add to our toolbox and use in the future. Very positive engagement, and my daughter really liked her. Will book another session in the future.

Had so much fun learning new techniques to better my daughters mechanics, thank you and look forward to the next session!

We have had 2 sessions and learned just the right fixes to get our daughters pitching on track. She is more confident and it definitely shows! Looking forward to a third session to set her up for a successful season!

Great coach. Provides great feedback and makes great adjustments.

We just feel so blessed to have you helping her. Seriously we are blessed! We loved you coaching the pleasant hill girls, wish you were still there. Thankful that you have such knowledge, and that you can explain to Harmony in detail what she's doing wrong and how to fix them. You could have girls scheduled all night every night if you ever wanted to, lol. Gifts like yours are precious and priceless and especially your way with the girls!
