Hi, I am Liz, and I am a softball coach with Athletes Untapped. I have been playing for 21 years and devoted to the sport. I believe with my creativity and out of the box thinking, it will be a refreshing change of pace for athletes. My coaching centers around fostering a positive and healthy competitive environment, open communication, and making sure that athletes are having fun. At the end of the day, an athlete should enjoy and want to play the sport they specialize in, and not feel like it is a chore or a job.

I have been playing softball for 21 years now and have played at all different levels of the game. I decided to stop my competitive athletic career in softball after high school to pursue a job in sports. I attended West Virginia University and graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Sport Management. After graduating, I went back to WVU to complete a Master's Degree in Sport Management in 2022 and currently finishing a Master's Degree in Sport Coaching.
Since I have been playing for 21 years, I have experience of playing every position, including pitching and catching. I can help someone improve their game because I have a keen eye for detail. Creating personalized coaching plans while working on both strengths and areas where athletes need to focus more on will help their games improve.
A typical training session is focusing on one area of the sport at a time. I try to coach a certain area for one to two weeks then move on to the next area to create muscle memory. Warming up and cooling down with stretching and exercises before and after every session are important to help reduce the risk of injury.
I am a current graduate student studying sport coaching at West Virginia University to help bolster my coaching career. I am a brand new coach, I have coached one season of adult co-ed softball and currently helping the team I play for this spring season.
The best coach I have ever had was my first coach, Paul. I first started playing when I was five in a slow-pitch league where Coach Paul would pitch to us. He was outgoing, friendly, funny, and taught the fundamentals of the game. He was never too harsh with training or teaching and everyone could tell he enjoyed coaching.
Even though I am a new coach, I strive to create a safe space where all of my athletes can train in a healthy environment. This is a very important pillar of my coaching because I have personally experienced too many coaches that pushed athletes too far without regard of their mental and physical health. With my coaching, I will never push any athlete to burnout and continuously check to see if they are confident with the exercise they are completing.

Book and schedule your lessons through our platform.
Meet your coach in-person or virtually, and start chasing down your goals!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

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!
