"I can't think of a more positive, knowledgeable, and hard working Coach to teach young females the great sport of softball! Coach Barb comes into our high school at least a couple times a year and instills the knowledge into our coaching staff and student athletes to push us all out of our comfort zone to be successful at the next level. Her knowledge and willingness to increase each team’s unity has paid off in big numbers for us with the last 4 years having made regional appearances. Coach Barb sets the tone and reinforces our foundation and helps us grow both in the physical and mental aspect of our game. Not only does she help within team camps / clinics she is a positive support and encouragement all season long! Couldn’t be more blessed to get the opportunity to learn from her."
