As a coach, I prioritize developing well-rounded players who excel on and off the field. I believe in fostering a positive team culture, promoting hard work, and encouraging players to reach their full potential. I have over 15 years’ experience in fastpitch softball, with a focus on player development and team success in Little League (Pacific and Northshore) and travel/club with both of my daughters. I also love the aspects of tracking statistics and scouting fastpitch teams/players. Coaching style includes emphasis in fundamentals, technique, and strategy. Focuses on creating a supportive and competitive team environment. Encouraging players to take ownership of their development and growth. Sasha Mitchell
