MaKalyn M.

I have experience coaching softball players through team camps, where I assisted with drills, workouts, and on-field instruction. I’ve also led daily workout sessions while serving in the military, and played on intramural and slow-pitch teams, giving me perspective on both training and teamwork. I’ve mainly worked with youth and high school athletes, focusing on developing fundamentals, and conditioning. While I do not currently hold industry certifications, my years of playing experience and hands on coaching have given me a strong foundation for training athletes effectively.

I have been playing softball since the age of five, competing for years in both recreational leagues and on a competitive travel ball team. In high school, I earned a varsity spot and gained extensive experience at multiple positions, contributing both offensively and defensively. During my time in the military, I continued to stay active by playing on slow-pitch softball teams.

A typical session with me starts with a dynamic warm-up to get athletes physically ready and prevent injury. From there, I focus on age- and skill-appropriate drills such as fielding fundamentals, throwing mechanics, and batting techniques, while also incorporating conditioning and strength work. I emphasize correct form and attention to detail, while also keeping the sessions fun and encouraging. I tailor workouts to each athlete’s goals, whether that’s improving hitting power, sharpening defensive skills, or building confidence on the field. Sessions wrap up with feedback and reflection, so players leave knowing what they did well and what to improve next time.
