coaching experience

I started giving pitching lessons in high school and have continued coaching both online and in person while in college. I have hosted a handful of my own pitching clinics as well. I’ve worked with players at all levels, from beginners just learning the basics to college athletes refining their skills. This past summer, I also worked as an assistant coach for the Pioneers in the Florida Gulf Coast League in Sarasota, FL.

Fun Facts: I’m from Richmond, Indiana, and I started pitching when I was 7. I love cooking, traveling, and spending time with my puppy, Maverick. My passion is becoming a Sports Psychologist so that I can give back to a part of the game that can play the biggest role in pitching… Favorite Quote: “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” – Tim Notke
