I got into coaching because I love sports and helping kids improve and have fun. Of course I love competing and winning, too, but I love the connection with kids.
2. What is the most memorable coaching moment you have ever had? (Does Not have to be softball related)
One of my most memorable coaching moments was a hard fought championship game by my 8th grade girls basketball team. I had the same group for 2 years and we only lost one game total. The last one was a good win, but not easy. It was a proud coaching moment with an amazing group of girls.
3. What is your favorite moment from when you were an athlete either in high school or college?
My senior year of college we were playing against Humbolt State in the final game for Regionals . I had struck out twice by a pitcher with a great riseball. We had runners on and I got a base hit in the 5/6 hole for 2 RBIs. We ended up winning and going to the College World Series.
