While pursuing my own softball career, I trained youth athletes in middle school, high school, and travel softball (age 13-18). I provided private hitting, bunting, and slapping lessons to help with form, preparation, and confidence for those who just wanted to get better or who wanted to play at the collegiate level.

I started playing softball in middle school and ended up playing at a collegiate level at University of Delaware (D1). I made the Varsity team my freshmen year of high school and was awarded back-to-back MVPs my junior and senior year. To stand out at the collegiate level, I learned how to slap and use my speed with the focus of getting on base (as the first or second batter up) with an above .300 batting average.

During a typical session, I'll first observe your current swing and form. You'll show me some practice swings and share with me what's been successful and what needs improvement. I'll provide some tips/tricks to boost your accuracy, power, and hitting placement. We'll do a lot of repetition together to work on your swing and I'll provide next steps (drills to help with form, drills off the tee, suggestions with practicing in the cage, etc.).
