What are people saying about Pitching Solutions Softball?
"(W)e have ordered netting to set up a big pitching area by my house so she can work on pitching daily now and wanted to come home and work on everything you did today. That has never happened in the three years she has been pitching, so thank you."

FAQs
How are you different from other coaches?
Born and raised in Alaska, I know the struggles of making a name for yourself when you are coming from a rural area. I will help you reach your endeavors of playing at a higher level of the sport through my network connections and strategies that help you grow from a good athlete to an elite athlete, ultimately preparing you for the next steps in your sports journey.
How often should I schedule private lessons for my athlete?
Typical frequency of lessons is once a week, which seems to yield the most improvement for athletes. Though your schedule is up to you!
Do I need to be at a certain athletic level to train with Pitching Solutions Softball?
Pitching Solutions Softball serves athletes from ages 8 to 22, the same age levels that I have previous experience coaching. I accept all skill levels and quite enjoy the dynamics of this work with varied athletic levels!
What do lessons look like?
A trusted adult is required to be present for each private lesson to promote a continuity of knowledge and care for the athlete. Lessons are typically an hour long and can take place virtually or in person. Each lesson includes a mental performance minute, time for a warm-up if the athlete needs it, and various drills that address specific needs of the athlete.
What is your lesson availability?
Be sure to check the calendar on the Services page, which stays updated with my availability for lessons. Typically, early morning and evening lesson time slots are available on select weekdays and afternoons on weekends.
What if my athlete does not have time for weekly lessons?
Other options are available to do on their own time. Pitching Solutions Softball offers individualized workout plans, free 30-minute consultations to discuss challenges or ask questions, and video analysis provides specific feedback after sending a video of your athlete's skill of assessment to akpitchingsolutions@outlook.com.
How do Saver Packages work?
A Saver Package is available as a virtual or in-person service and saves you $50.00. Purchasing a Saver Package guarantees ten lessons that must be scheduled within four months of purchase to promote consistent work. Purchasing a Saver Package gives your athlete perks and benefits of exemplifying this commitment, as outlined on the Saver Plans page.
Are private lessons for my athlete?
If your athlete dedicates herself to being a student of the game, private lessons are for her. If she values being a trusted teammate on and off the field, private lessons are for her. If she thrives on independence and self-confidence, private lessons are for her.
The answer is YES! Let's do it together.
