More About Coach Lara

My coaching and instruction experience started when I was in college. When I graduated college I assisted my college coach for a couple years. I have given private pitching, fielding and hitting lessons for 10 years now. I have coached at a local high school for 5 years at the Varsity and JV level.

I have experience at the collegiate level, high school level, middle school level, and travel ball (also little league). I have played softball since I was 4 years old and have loved it ever since. My specialties are short stop, first base, catching, pitching and hitting. Although I do know how to play every position so that would not be a problem. I would encourage athletes to try and master more than one position because you never know where you will be needed on the field to help your team. In college I played short stop, second, first, and catcher. In high school I played short stop, outfield and pitched. In middle school I pitched. In little league and travel ball I played every position.

A typical session would be based on what the specific skill ares being asked. For batting, I would start out to see where you are, then move on from there working on the basics to better improve the swing of the player and the overall hitting ability. For fielding I would again focus on basics and begin to show the athlete what she is doing wrong and go from there. I will always ask the athlete question and expect them to ask me questions back as to why we are doing a certain drill or movement. If the athlete doesn't know why we are working on something they will not fully understand the drill or lesson. My goal is to make sure the athlete not only improved her physical skill but also improves her knowledge of the game.

Client Reviews

Coach Lara rocked! She prepped my daughter for tryouts and was more affordable than the overnight camps we looked into. My 15 year old said the one on one was more effective for her and That Lara's recommendations were an instant bonus to her fundamental skillset!

I can see a difference in my daughter after just one session. Coach Lara did a great job with her skills, but also her confidence. My daughter was comfortable with Coach Lara right away. I would highly recommend her.

Lara was quick to respond and flexible to accommodate our lesson requests. She did an excellent job with my daughter who was very nervous about her first lesson. Lara picked up on this and met her where she was - she did an awesome job of making my daughter feel confident. Her teaching style was non judgmental and all positive which translated to my daughter wanting to practice to ready herself for her next lesson with Lara.

Coach Lara was great!! After one session my daughter was serving much better, my daughter is excited and looking forward to the next sessions

Coach Lara was great! Patient, funny and knowledgable! After one session, my daughter was excited, motivated to keep practicing and confident! I would highly recommend Coach Lara!

I spent 3 years working with Coach Krygier and myself, my staff and players had a wonderful experience. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable, but she is a great motivator and a great educator. She really is a strength and conditioning “coach” and a great educator. Our coaches and players learned so much from her and I still consult with her on strength and conditioning matters.
