I am a retired collegiate softball athlete with a deep passion for the game and a commitment to developing the next generation of players. Currently, I serve as an Assistant Softball Coach at Hope International University, where I focus on mentoring hitters and enhancing offensive strategy. With firsthand experience at the collegiate level, I bring both technical knowledge and personal insight to my coaching, striving to inspire athletes to reach their full potential both on and off the field.
My hitting strategy is deeply influenced by my experience training under Olympic gold medalist Crystl Bustos, one of the most respected power hitters in the game. Under her mentorship, I developed a disciplined, explosive approach at the plate, centered on generating power through efficient mechanics, mental toughness, and situational awareness. I emphasize the importance of timing, balance, and a strong lower half to maximize bat speed and consistent contact. This philosophy shapes the way I coach hitters today—helping athletes build confidence, understand their swing, and compete with intent and purpose every time they step into the box.
I structure my hitting lessons in concise 30-minute increments to maximize focus and effectiveness. I’ve found that this time frame allows athletes to stay mentally sharp and physically engaged, creating the ideal environment for meaningful skill development. By keeping sessions short and intentional, I’m able to hone in on the finer details of each athlete’s swing without overwhelming them—ensuring that every rep has purpose and progress remains steady.
During my athletic career at Hope International University, I was honored to receive the Champions of Character award, recognizing my leadership both in Christ and on the softball field. I was also humbled to be named GSAC Player of the Week, earn All-GSAC honors, and be selected to the 2019 Gold Glove Team. One of the most rewarding parts of my journey was playing a key role in HIU Softball’s back-to-back GSAC Tournament Championships in 2018 and 2019—memories that continue to fuel my passion for the game and for coaching.

As a coach, I want parents and athletes to know that my ultimate goal is to see each athlete succeed—both on and off the field. I am fully committed to helping those who are genuinely invested in growing their softball skills and reaching their full potential. While I bring a friendly and outgoing energy to every session, I take development seriously. When it’s time to work, I’m fully locked in, ensuring that every moment is purposeful and that we leave each session having made real progress.

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.
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.
