About Me:

I have the opportunity to be an assistant coach with TEAM 9’s this year.  I have played softball most of my life and coached adult sports.  I have always been interested in coaching youth softball but was hesitant to join an organization…until I was introduced to TEAM Nebraska!!! J

Sports Bio:

I tried basically every youth sport available as a kid but, there was really only one sport I discovered a tremendous passion for…fast pitch softball!  I started out like most girls playing YMCA/Little League and then made the transition to select fast pitch.  I primarily played SS/2nd/3rd throughout my fast pitch career.  Ironically, I was selected to play with a Team Nebraska one-tournament team in 1996 (prior to Darren developing TEAM organization).  I was also honorable mention for all state during my varsity softball career at Northwest High School.  And despite the fact that I’m getting old, I have been playing class D women’s slow pitch softball, bowling in a league, playing sand volleyball, and playing indoor soccer (soccer’s only every once in a while because it requires way too much running for my liking). 

Coaching Philosophy:

Looking back on my softball career, I can only imagine how much of a difference playing for an organization like TEAM Nebraska would have made.  My biggest regret from my fast pitch career was passing up the opportunity to play in college because I had already been offered a full ride academic scholarship.  I played with numerous talented young ladies that did not go on to play in college for various reasons but, I think one of the primary reasons was because our teams forgot how to have fun while competing!  With that said, my mission is to ensure the young ladies I have the privilege to help coach always have fun, enjoy themselves, and finish their softball careers with no regrets!
