From Oliver:

“Having 5 sisters that all play softball I have been around this sport for over a decade, and have spent the past several years being devoted to the coaching
aspect of the game. I started coaching at the recreational level, quickly moved up to travel, and recently started coaching a high school team. I love coaching because I not only get to instruct, but have the privilege of teaching life long lessons far beyond the field of play. I feel blessed to be able to give back
everything that I have learned.”
