Your child will get instruction from a tenured and credentialed coach. I will tailor the workout and learning experience to fit the skill level, learning style and physical attributes of the player. For $40/session of training, you will see immediate improvements.
How did you get started teaching?
I have enjoyed the sport of baseball my whole life. I started as a coach for an Adult Womens Slowpitch Softball team followed by Little League Baseball. As a parent I got involved with coaching my daughters teams. We went to 16u Calif State Championship two years in a row, winning our first year then placing 3rd the year following. We also won 16U Western National and were invited to 16/18u World Series both years. I was able to double the amount players in the club expanding to Red and Blue teams in 10u thru 18u with players reaching over a 400 mile radius. I am still asked to assist with College camps and to refer recruits to colleges. I have been blessed to have worked with and coached against many D1 thru JC level players. I now live in Oklahoma where I am excited to be sharing my knowledge with young ball players.
What types of students have you worked with?
I’ve worked with all ages and all skill levels. I have been successful with players who were absolute beginners to kids who have a lot of experience to players who have been passed over by many hi-comp teams or High school. I have also had many of my players move on to playing in college.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
Recently a parent in Norman, OK learned I coached college softball in the past. She had various questions about subjects like coaching styles and how to get noticed by college coaches. I gave her my inside knowledge and personal experience. A few weeks later she spoke with me with such delight of her experience with her daughters playing. She has been successful with the hitting tips and she has been recognized by Baylor University Softball coaches as well as other universites. She since passed on her knowledge to fellow parents and continues to share her experiences with me.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Find a coach who has a calm demeanor and is maluable in how s/he tailors your game based on your type of learning behaviors and physical attributes. Remember, No two players are identical in mental and physical skills. This is a hard game to learn to play and if your coach is too static with instruction you may find yourself with slow progress.
What questions should students think through before talking to teachers about their needs?
No question is a dumb question. My advice is to make sure this endeavor is something for which your child has a passion.
