Accomplishments
History with Softball and why you chose to Coach:
I grew up playing baseball and fell in love with the game. I never played on the college level or above mostly because I didn't realize my potential and how far I could have gone in the sport. I began playing slow pitch softball about 10 years ago and rekindled the passion.I began coaching once my daughter was old enough to play the sport and quickly realized the need for good positive coaches. I have assistant coached with several organizations that have all led to this opportunity to Head coach for Florida Select.
Tell us about your life and things that are important to you:
I have a passion for bringing out the best in my player's not only on the field but off the field as well. There are a lot of life skills that are required to be successful at this sport such as Accountability, Positive Attitude, Teamwork, and being Dependable that will be necessary in life as well. I didn't have a positive role model in my upbringing to instill these qualities in me so it is important for me to be that person to my players.I realize now the difference it could have and would have made in my life.
Tell us a crazy fun fact about you:
I have won several batting average titles in slow pitch softball but my best average over a season was .925.
- Several Rec league and tournament championship's
