Professional Summary
I grew up at the softball fields in St. James, MN. My father and older brothers all played softball and of course I wanted to do the same. Family vacations were planned according to National Tournament dates! Softball has been and continues to be a major part of my professional and personal life.
The purpose for this video series is to help players, coaches and parents understand this great game of softball better and learn the proper techniques needed to succeed at the highest levels. If you watch, learn and apply these basic but necessary techniques in a daily routine I promise you that you will get better!
