"Rachel,
Thank you for the detailed follow up after our first lesson. I really appreciate it. [My daughter] enjoyed her session very much and you already understand her determination after one session. She is skilled for her age, but has a strong desire to learn more from other players/ coaches like you. She will definitely be back for more lessons. Thank you again!"

Rachel's favorite part of 360U Softball:
"Being able to watch the athletes gain confidence in themselves throughout sessions is so rewarding. They develop and grow so much not only as a player but also as a teammate, friend, etc."

Rachel's best advice for young athletes:
"Learn to accept that mistakes are going to be made. Strikeouts and errors will always happen. Learn to accept them, let them go, and grow from them. Rather than focusing on the mistake, focus on how you will respond to it. Give yourself some grace."
