Softball has never been a hobby for me. I have always had a passion for the sport. I love coaching because I get to help other girls build their strength, confidence, and love for the game. Many amazing coaches (Mackenzie Vandergeest, Jamee Juarez, Whitney Baker, Anjelica Selden, etc...) helped me to achieve my softball goals and I am so thankful for them, I see coaching as a way to give back to the game for everything that it has given me.

    I loved how every lesson I went to I continued to see huge improvements. Katie explains things in ways that are extremely helpful and easy to grasps. She also always makes sure that you feel comfortable which I always appreciate.

    My daughter has been working with coach Katie for the last 9 months. My wife and I could not be happier with the progress our daughter has made as a pitcher under coach Katie’s guidance. It is remarkable the progression she has achieved from not knowing the basics of how to pitch when she started with Coach Katie to now being a dominate pitcher in her USA Softball Select games. We feel so lucky to have found coach Katie.

    My daughter has learned so much.
    Katie is patient and takes her time covering every aspect of pitching. She has great drills that keep the girls engaged and having fun. Having a catcher there adds to Katie’s ability to be able to stand by the pitcher and give step by step tips. Highly recommend!!! 🥎

    Ive never been luckier in my life than to find Katie. She is so much better than other pitching coaches its hard to explain. She cares for all of her pitchers and she really puts in the time to get her girls better. She always manages to have a catcher there and we appreciate it a lot. Theres nothing we wouldnt do for our pitching coach.

    My daughter has been taking pitching lessons from Katie for almost a year now and we couldn’t be more happy! Katie is incredibly knowledgeable and is constantly teaching my daughter different techniques and nuances to bring her pitching skill to the next level. The difference in my daughter’s performance is incredible! She has more control than ever before and throws 5 different pitches. She loves working with Katie and looks forward to her pitching lessons every week. We would highly recommend Katie!

    Frequently asked questions

    First Lesson is always primarily an assesment lesson. I spend most of the time watching mechanics, looking for problems with their form, and evaluating their different pitches (if they have more than a fastball). I also spend time talking with my new client about what their goals are. Do you want to increase speed, strength, or endurance? Do you want to improve on accuracy, ball spin, or movement?  

    I have 12 years coaching experience. I have been a pitcher for over 15 years myself (I still pitch in an adult fastpitch league). I have trained and played at the highest level in softball (International softball). Being a woman coach gives me the ability to help young girls with the mental and physical ascpects of the game because I have walked in their "cleats" so to speak. Building confidence is a very important aspect of being a successful pitcher. 

    70$ an hour 

    50$ per 30 mins (10 and under only) 

    I have worked with beginners to advanced pitchers and everything in between. I have worked with girls as young as 6-7 years old teaching them fundamentals. I have also worked with college women to improve velocity and movement. 

    Ask the instructor where they played college softball and who their pitching coaches were. 
    Try and find coaches who have played ProFastpitch or International softball.
