What We Do
At Athletic Geniuses, we believe every young athlete deserves the chance to discover their passion and develop the skills to pursue it with confidence. Our pitching instruction is designed to make high-quality softball training accessible, affordable, and inspiring. We focus on building strong fundamentals—teaching accuracy, speed, and strategy—so players can thrive without paying premium prices for basic skills. More than just mechanics, we aim to instill a sense of purpose, resilience, and faith in every pitcher we coach. Whether through skill videos, training programs, or one-on-one feedback, we’re here to guide athletes and their families through the early stages of the softball journey—helping each player graduate with confidence, clarity, and a plan for future success.
Why we do it
Softball is an incredibly rewarding sport, but the steep learning curve and high cost of quality instruction can discourage families from pursuing it. Too often, parents pay premium rates for lessons that focus on basic fundamentals instead of advanced skills. Athletic Geniuses exists to break down those barriers—helping beginning pitchers master the core techniques before investing in expensive, specialized coaching. By offering affordable, structured, and confidence-building instruction, we give players the tools to succeed, the environment to grow, and the joy of pursuing their passion through sport. Our mission is simple: to raise up a generation of athletic geniuses who are equipped to chase their dreams with passion and perseverance.
