Get to know Coach Julie
About Me:
I played softball from the time I could walk until this past spring. I’ve played for multiple travel ball teams, my neighborhood high school, and Alvernia University. My sophomore year at Alvernia I was awarded the All MAC Commonwealth Second Team Honors for outfield. I played in both left and right field and am a lefty batter who can teach multiple forms of bunting and slapping as well.
How I can help you improve your game:
You start mentally, you ask questions and make sure you understand where their confusion or reason is coming from. You take that and respond with an answer or solution. If you and your player still aren’t on the same page through talking, you get visual and provide examples. You have to understand the game to love the game and it all starts with fundamentals and breaking down mechanics.
What a typical training session looks like with me:
A typical training session would start with some stretching and either swinging or throwing depending on the session type. We would then talk about what the player wants to work on and start warming up. After either taking a few swings or throwing the ball for a couple minutes, we can start going into drills. I think it’s important to explain the purpose of each drill or activity to the girls so they understand the mechanics and purpose of it. In a typical hour session, your daughter would truly start getting into drills around the 15 minute mark after warming up. This would leave about 40-45 minutes for activity. Depending on the needs of your daughter would depend on the duration of each drill. Water and breaks are heavily encouraged!

Best coach I ever had:
The best coach I ever had was named Joe Stove. He was the absolute best at giving corrective criticism and still making you feel good. He always said that “Girls need to feel good mentally to play good physically” and that’s something I’ll never forget because it’s so true. It’s very important to win, but it’s still more important to enjoy the moment and take in the memories of the game you’re playing. It’s a long and hard journey and he always made you proud of yourself no matter what.
What athletes and parents should know about me:
Athletes and parents should know that I’m here to kick butt and have fun!! I don’t like to be strict or too serious because it takes away the joy of wanting to come back and get better. I want to make your daughters confident and ready to play come game day!

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 find yourself needing to cancel or adjust your booking within 24 hours of your purchase, just let us know. We'll provide a refund - no questions asked. Your satisfaction is our top priority, and we're here to support your learning journey.
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!
