Ever since I was 3 years old, I have had a softball glove in my hand and a love for the game. I started my primary position as pitcher at 8 years old. I was a pitcher and 3rd baseman, grade school through high school, and while attending Widener University.
I was a 3 year starting pitcher for the Delran High School Varsity team holding title of captain my senior year and voted First Team BSCL both junior and senior year. At Widener, I was a 4 year starter as a pitcher and third baseman holding a steady position as 5th in the lineup and served as captain senior year. Upon graduating Widener in 2014, I was invited back by Head Coach, Fred Dohrmann, to join the coaching staff as Assistant Coach & Pitching Manager for 6 years.
I have been working with young softball players in South Jersey for about 8 years. I have worked with girls aged 6 - 21 and have guest coached in many local travel team practices, helping players learn proper mechanics, unlocking their potential and helping coaches with consultation and team drills.
I am a Certified Youth Sports Fitness Instructor, Certified Pitching Instructor, Certfied Personal Trainer for Adult and Youth Fitness. My goal as a coach is to not just instruct, I teach my girls why we do what we do. I run every practice by physically showing them drills and explaining why every drill is imperative. We like to have fun at our lessons, but I will also challenge every athlete to excel physically and mentally. I customize my one on one workouts to each athlete's needs and capabilities. We set goals that are collaborative and work together each practice taking steps forward towards our goal.
Ready to get to that next level? Ready for a coach that collaborates with you? Ready to have some fun?
Me too! I hope to see you soon!
Coach Jackie
