Former Collegiate Softball Athlete who loves the game!!
Hey there! My name is Sammy Cantavespre, and I am a former collegiate softball player. I played at both the Division III and NJCAA level in Alabama. I played at Huntingdon College and Bishop State Community College. I have many accolades as both a collegiate and high school athlete. I have trained with and under some truly amazing athletes and coaches in this sport. That being said, I have learned a lot in my near 20 years in this game. I have worked with ages ranging from 8 years old to 18! I was a pitcher and corner (1st / 3rd base) in college, so I primarily offer lessons for pitching and / or defensive work! I love this game, but more than that I love sharing my passion with others! I would love to work with you, so please feel free to reach out!

How I can help you improve your game:
As a coach, I do pride myself on having a keen eye for detail in this game. Whether that be pitching or defensive work, I know this game very well and I know how to help my athletes to improve. I have many, many drills, skill work, and workouts to help your athlete get better and stronger in the game. I also rely on my personal experience in the game and as a coach to help you get better, as well.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
I always start with stretches and warm ups! It is the most important part of training, and it is often the most over looked! I then move into whatever we are working on! Pitching, defensive work, etc. I never jump in at 100%, that is how athletes get hurt. I always tell my athletes to listen to their bodies and move back to 100% at their own pace. Once we're ready to go 100% (usually takes no longer than 10 minutes) I love to do drills and specific skill work. Every athlete is different, so we all have different areas in the game we need to improve on. I hone in on where we can improve, and we go full throttle!
Career summary and accomplishments:
I coached 6u, 8u, and 10u softball all throughout high school. Once in college, I began giving private lessons. I did this for about 2 years. I have worked from ages 8-18 with private lessons. I primarily give pitching and defensive lessons, as this is what I played in college. I have also helped host some camps in college as well where we work on skill in every aspect of the game!
Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had, his name was John. He was my travel coach for most of high school. He played D1 baseball for UCF back in his day. Not only was he one of the best players I ever knew, but one of the best people. He inspired me to be amazing on and off the field, and that is something I carry over into my work as a coach!
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I love this game with my whole heart, and I love even more to teach the younger generation. I hold this sport very close to my heart, so trust I will only promote this game in a healthy, happy way for my athletes! I am a Nursing Student (just a few more months to go until I have my BSN), so I also teach my kids a lot of taking care of their physical and nutritional needs as well as skill in the game. I am CPR certified!

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact a coach?
If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
How do I book lessons?
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Can I pay my coach via Venmo or cash?
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
What if I don't feel comfortable paying online?
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Where will the coach hold their lessons?
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
When is the coach available to train?
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
What if I don't love the first lesson?
The AU guarantee (refund policy) has you covered! If you determine the coach isn't a good fit after your first lesson, let us know within 24 hours and you're eligible for a refund. We will also be happy to recommend another coach - be sure to contact our support team.
Do coaches work with both kids & adults?
Our coaches are open to helping athletes of any age and skill level. Please message your desired coach to ensure their skillset fits your needs.
Why should I trust AU and their coaches over other platforms?
AU was created by former collegiate and professional athletes. We understand the benefits of training with a private coach. It develops discipline, boosts confidence, and provides an undeniable advantage - whether you are just learning the game or looking to earn a college scholarship. All AU coaches are required to pass a thorough onboarding process and we proudly showcase a 10% acceptance rate, so you can trust you're training with the best.
At the end of the day, our mission is to provide athletes with better opportunities to succeed through coaching. You won't find a platform, and group of dedicated specialists, more excited to help you achieve your athletic goals!
