Book Lessons with Coach Kassidy

As a former Division I athlete at the University of Tennessee, I learned firsthand what separates good athletes from great ones. After walking on and earning a scholarship, I discovered that success is built through discipline, consistency, resilience, and attention to detail—not talent alone.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, am a certified Mat Pilates instructor, and have experience coaching athletes at multiple levels. My approach combines movement quality, strength, mobility, and athletic development to help athletes perform at their highest potential while reducing injury risk.

Whether you're looking to improve performance, build confidence, or gain a competitive edge, my goal is to provide the tools, guidance, and accountability needed to help you succeed.

I help athletes develop the physical and mental tools needed to perform at their best. Through training focused on mobility, strength, stability, movement quality, and injury prevention, you'll become a more confident and resilient athlete. Just as importantly, I'll help you build the discipline, consistency, confidence, and mental toughness that separate good athletes from great ones.

Each training session is designed to help you develop the skills needed to become a more complete athlete. We begin with a dynamic warm-up to improve mobility and prepare the body for movement. From there, we focus on athletic skill development through drills that build balance, coordination, body control, agility, reaction, and movement efficiency. Athletes will work on the movement patterns that support performance on the field while improving confidence in their abilities. Throughout the session, I emphasize discipline, consistency, confidence, and mental fortitude, helping athletes develop the habits and mindset that translate to success in competition.

Madison Shipman was the most influential coach and mentor in my athletic career. She had an incredible ability to break down the game in a way that was easy to understand and apply. She taught me how to make in-game adjustments, think strategically, and approach each at-bat with purpose. I credit much of the substantial improvement I made from my junior to senior year to her guidance and ability to develop athletes. The lessons she taught me continue to influence how I approach athlete development and coaching today.

I am passionate about helping athletes reach their full potential, both on and off the field. As a former Division I athlete who earned a scholarship after walking on at Tennessee, I understand firsthand the dedication, discipline, and mental fortitude required to compete at a high level. My goal is not only to help athletes improve their skills, but also to help them build confidence, resilience, and habits that will serve them throughout their athletic careers and beyond.

I believe the greatest growth occurs when the athlete is personally invested in the process. For that reason, I work best with athletes who genuinely want to improve and are willing to put in the effort required to reach their goals. My role is to provide guidance, accountability, and support, but the desire to grow must come from the athlete. When that commitment exists, incredible things can happen.

Above all, I am committed to creating a growth-minded environment where athletes feel challenge and supported to become the best version of themselves.
