Kathy
Former DII left-handed pitcher, outfielder, first basemen, slapper, and power hitter with experience coaching 16U–18U travel ball and providing private lessons. I focus on proper form, conditioning, and mental toughness to build strong, healthy, and confident players. With advanced knowledge of thoracic outlet syndrome, arm care, and recovery, I emphasize injury prevention and sustainable performance. My coaching also includes a classroom-style training in addition to physical lessons — learning pitch strategy (this matters in ALL positions), game awareness, and how to play to your strengths. I’m passionate about helping athletes of all ages reach their goals — on the field, in the classroom, and through the recruiting process.
"I really liked how Coach Goose introduced me to pitching. I was not sure if this is what I wanted to do or if I wanted to focus on catching. Though I decided to catch the skills and knowledge she gave me will help me no matter where I play on the field!

"Coach Robinson is really good with Lisa. Often, she’s waiting on the day for them to train together. I never knew my daughter had this drive in her. Safe to say Coach Robinson manifested what I thought my daughter was missing. He knows the right things to say!

My training builds muscle memory that transcends the court, giving you the confidence and discipline to excel both on and off the game
"Honestly, I found the lesson quite helpful, especially in how Javonntie was able to teach me. Though I still have some areas to improve, I appreciate the way he explained things clearly. The lesson's highlight was definitely his ability to teach me, which made a difference. Still, I think incorporating more drills related to shooting could help me sharpen my skills further. But overall, I’d be open to trying another lesson with Javonntie soon.
