About
Lessons are tailored to each individual player to progress as quickly or slowly as needed, with noticeable results in one-to-two lessons time.
I also focus on the mental and emotional aspects of the game so that they can use these skills on and off of the field to become better athletes and happier, more productive individuals.
I enjoy working with all different types of players ranging from brand new up to advanced and in all aspects of the game. I love watching how quickly my player's progress helps them gain confidence and motivates them to become better which in turn, helps them have more fun and gain better focus.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know my new players and make our time together fun and active so that they enjoy their sport, are never bored and to help build a relationship of trust between us to develop them as a confident, mentally disciplined and successfull athlete on and off of the field.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I received 6+ years of my own weekly private instruction from age 9 until high school. I currently play slow-pitch softball weekly and continue to pitch in my late 30s. Growing up, I played on fast pitch softball tournament leagues for nine years for the Reno Lightning and Carson Comets. While playing for the Carson Comets 16 & under tournament league, the team worked hard to rank fourteenth in the nation. I helped my team claim the Bobby Sox national championship, marking the first time it had been won by a team outside of the state of California. At Galena High School in Reno, NV, I served as a starting pitcher at the varsity level for four years.
How did you get started teaching?
I have been teaching softball pitching and general softball skills since 2006, and I genuinely enjoy passing on the knowledge gained over years of experience and learning within the sport. I have mastered and effectively thrown nine different pitches and enjoy teaching those pitches to aspiring athletes, along with other general softball skills.
