I have been looking at new equipment for my players and have recently decided that I needed to build a batting cage outside. I've been researching because it's been quite some time since my last HUGE $$ purchase of batting net. I found some really good affordable equipment that really ANY softball/baseball player should have at home to put in their extra work. Which brings me to my next rant!!! When you put in extra work you do not need to pay an instructor. It could very well be you and you or you and a friend/family member. The key is QUALITY REPS. Record and watch yourself in a mirror. This is the time to get familiar with yourself and get in the ZONE!


Enough of that... here's the equipment list.

  1. Heavy weighted ball https://amzn.to/3tkNbHN

  2. Tee https://amzn.to/48E5fwY

  3. The Bundle! Powernet/ Tee/ Caddy. https://amzn.to/3LJVC5P

  4. Hitting balls https://amzn.to/3RLbNDQ (don't get "GOOD" balls for this because they will get beat up with all that hitting you do!

  5. Water bottle! https://amzn.to/3ZDtw1W (don't waste time going in the house to get water) this is my favorite water bottle of ALL TIME!

Hope this helps!

Coaching Philosophy ​

Softball is more than a game—it’s a journey of growth, passion, and purpose. The heart of my philosophy is the belief that development, both as athletes and individuals, is the cornerstone of long-term success. I am committed to cultivating a culture where players are encouraged to embrace every moment as a chance to learn, improve, and evolve.

Passion for the game fuels everything we do. It ignites our competitive spirit, brings energy to every practice, and drives us through adversity. I believe that a genuine love for softball is the engine behind sustained excellence. That passion creates a team environment where players support each other, celebrate each other, and push one another to be their best.

Hard work is non-negotiable. Talent may open the door, but effort, discipline, and perseverance keep it

The door open. My expectations for our athletes is to show up with a relentless work ethic and a commitment to give their best—every play, every rep, every game.

​

A positive mindset is a powerful tool. I encourage athletes to focus on what they can control, find lessons in every setback, and approach challenges with confidence and resilience. Mental strength is just as important as physical skill, a strong, optimistic outlook can turn obstacles into opportunities.

​

The game of softball has limitless opportunities—not just for wins and trophies, but for personal breakthroughs, leadership growth, and lifelong memories. Whether a player’s journey leads to college ball or a fulfilling high school experience, softball can shape character, open doors, and build friendships that last a lifetime.

​

I believe softball is set on a foundation of core values: integrity, accountability, teamwork, and respect. These aren’t just words—they’re the building blocks of everything we do. From the fundamentals of throwing and hitting to the life lessons learned through competition. Builds athletes to prepare for both the game and the world beyond it.

My philosophy is to develop athletes, empower leaders, and inspire a love for the game that endures. Softball is a platform, but my mission is far greater: to shape strong, passionate, and prepared individuals who are ready to take on whatever comes next.
