More About Coach Paige
I have over 8 years of coaching experience in three different states. I have coached for a 3A high school team, as well as three A-Level 14u travel ball teams. Being able to learn from a variety of other coaches and young women has given me a great advantage in learning how to best instruct my girls. I have had the privilege of coaching and forming strong bonds with over 200 athletes and their families.
I started pitching when I was 14 which some may argue is quite late. I was a very determined and hard working athlete in high school. I played high school ball at Belleville West High School, select ball with the Midland Magic organization, and I am fortunate to be able to say that I did earn a full ride scholarship to play softball at the University of Illinois Springfield. In my career, I was the winning pitcher at the Illinois ASA Class A State Championship in 2015. At the end of my junior year we won the regional championship where I was voted first team all-conference and second team all area. My senior year I was voted first team all conference and first team all area. In both my junior and senior years I was voted to participate in the ASA Metro St Louis Missouri vs Illinois All Star Game.
In my sessions, I hit mechanics HARD. Whether it is pitching, fielding or hitting, I will always adjust my girl's mechanics to ensure that they are getting the most out of their time spent with me. Before all lessons, I like to start with a bit of cardio to get the athletes blood moving. This helps them psychologically to understand that it is time to work. We spend typically the next 10-15 minutes doing mechanics drills, breaking down the smallest movement, then graduating once they have mastered that skill about five times into the next mechanical drill. After this, I will typically work on power, speed, or accuracy, ensuring the girls understand why they are doing something so they are able to work on it at home. All of my girls receive homework to do during the week. This may consist of a drill, research of current collegiate players, or some sort of workout.

Paige has been really patient with my daughter getting started with her fast pitch. I can’t express enough how great she has been with her. She has been able to break every step down for her to get it in pieces and mold it together so she gets the right motions going!

My granddaughter has been to several hitting coaches, but none have broken it down piece by piece the way Paige had the patience of doing.
It was great working with someone who played the sport, coached the sport and knows the sport. We definitely felt her passion for it by showing how the mechanics should work and emphasizing on what needs to be worked on.
Even better feeling when we were done for the day and my granddaughter immediately said she really liked here teaching and wants to return for another lesson!!
Maria (CoachUp client)
I absolutely love Coach Paige! She is so warm and funny and such a great batting coach. I like her teaching methods, my daughters hitting has already improved tremendously and she has only had two sessions so far. Coach Paige knows her stuff! Book her!

Coach Paige was fantastic! My 9-year-old step-daughter was so nervous going into the lesson and didn't want me to leave. By the end of the lesson, she was saying that I CAN NOT come back. lol. She was raving about how nice Coach Paige was and how she felt so comfortable right away. We practiced at home later the same night and the improvement was palpable. The small tweaks to her technique in batting and throwing in literally just one lesson were remarkable. We are scheduling weekly lessons. I cannot recommend her enough!

StefAnnie Marie (Testimonial)
Paige is a spectacular training coach. She is very approachable & has a great training method. Her personal softball experience has gained an amazing skillset of drills that's beneficial to instill in her players. She is very kind & positive. After each session she makes it a point to have my daughter speak on what drills & tactics were practiced so that she feels empowered & responsible for her progress. My daughter has learned a great deal from her sessions & continues to be encouraged. Thanks for all you do Paige! Lexie & family appreciate you!
Ofelia Mallari (Testimonial)
Coach Paige is wonderful! My 12yo daughter started playing softball this year and immediately fell in love with the sport which led to her desire to become a pitcher ASAP. We got in touch with coach Paige and we are so happy with our experience and results so far. Within 6 months of playing softball and 4 months training as a pitcher with coach Paige, we have seen tremendous growth for our daughter. Her confidence is through the roof. Her coaches and teammates all believed she had been playing for much longer. Coach Paige is kind, patient, friendly and very encouraging. She does a great job of making her lessons an uplifting experience. She prioritizes mechanics and form which is ideal especially for a beginner softball athlete. She does a great job of explaining the importance of each drill and why they help down to the smallest detail so her students understand the results they’re looking for during their drills, practices and within games. Coach Paige makes very good use of her time training her students. She packs in a significant amount of useful information in a way that’s easy to remember and understand. I highly recommend coach Paige for any young softball athlete that wants to explore their passion for softball and have the sense of accomplishment from seeing their own growth within a positive learning environment. It’s also very fun as a parent witnessing our daughter have many big and small victories on and off the field since she began her weekly lessons with coach Paige. We are so grateful to have coach Paige be apart of our daughter’s softball experience.
