Kristine

Pitching and Hitting Instructor

 

My name is Kristine. I have played fastpitch softball for 15 + years and my career experience has included playing with some of the greatest programs in the country. I played with East Cobb fastpitch program since it began and have now moved to coaching a team in this organization. During my high school years, I played for Woodstock High School where I have the first Perfect Game pitched in the school’s history. I also led that team to its first Region Title and was the first Division 1 Recruit out of the program. The highlight of my career, thus far, was playing at the Division 1 level at Middle Tennessee State University. During my career, I was tied for third in homeruns my sophomore year. I was also fourth on the team in RBIs that year and collected 8 season doubles.  In the future, I have a desire to play at the professional level and continue to coach in the years to come. I joined Premier Sport Services as an instructor in August 2007 after Graduating from Middle Tennessee State University. My goal is to help younger players to develop the skills they need to achieve their dreams of playing softball at the highest level possible.
