Book Private Softball Lessons with Coach Grace
My training not only involves the physical part of the game, but I put a heavy focus on the mental aspect of the game as well. Softball is 90% mental and 10% physical. My training also focuses on how your body naturally wants to move and how we can make minor adjustments that will give you max power, efficiency, and consistency. Most athletes have 50-75 ft. of power that they are not utilizing, I can help you get there. I love to have fun with my lessons and will always be your biggest hype coach. My whole goal has always been to grow the game and help people fall in love with it, and that is exactly what I intend to do while helping you reach the highest level you can.

How I can help you improve your game:
You already have possession of all the tools you need to be successful in this sport. My job is to help you understand how to use them effectively and consistently. There are never any dumb questions with me, I encourage you to ask as many questions as you need because I want you to understand and there is more than one way to teach people because everyone learns differently. I will teach you about how strong your mind really is and how you can visualize and talk yourself in or out of any situation, and not just in softball but life as well. I want to help you be the best person/athlete you can be all while being one of your biggest cheerleaders alongside with some tough love of course.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
First we will go over some motor preferences tests that will help me put you into profile. I learned this while I was doing my graduate assistant position and it has been the best tool not only for myself in my own game but for the athletes that use it as well. After we go through the testing we will start off on the tee and do a full swing breakdown so I can see tendencies you already have and we will work from there on minor adjustments that will help you be even better than you already are. I am big on “feels” I want you to learn your body and what it feels like when you do something the right way and what it feels like when you do it the wrong way so that when I’m not around you can make your own adjustments and that is also something we’ll talk about in the lesson. From there we will take it lesson by lesson and work together to make you the best athlete you can be!
Career summary and accomplishments:
I coached in a college summer league in Nashville in 2023 and won coach of the year and led my team to its first ever league championship. I just finished my Graduate Assistant position at the University of Southern Mississippi.
Best coach I ever had:
The best Coach I ever had was my coach at Marshall. Megan Smith-Lyon who is currently the head coach at UNC. She helped me fall in love with softball again. She taught be how to be a servant leader to my teammates on and off the field, she built a relationship with me outside of softball that is still going today. She showed me how you coach women, how you build them up and make them feel like more than just athletes. Everything she is and has done, is everything I want to be and do for my players. I want to show love and compassion while also being gritty and fierce. I want to help people fall in love with softball like she did for me because I don’t know where I would be without her.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
I have high expectations for myself so I expect 100% attitude and effort from my players. I am not here to waste your time or money as well as my own time. I will be very upfront and honest and work will need to be done at home. You will not get better just by coming to me. You have to put in the work. Mechanics can be taught but you have to have that “want” and drive to be consistent. I am extremely passionate about softball and the growth of our sport.
I have 5 cats and 2 dogs, I also have a little sister. I am originally from Detroit, Michigan and I love to watch Netflix in my free time.

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!
