Coach Karen is probably the best kept secret in fastpitch softball coaching. For my daughters ninth birthday, this past July, we agreed to find her a pitching coach (a hefty investment for our family). We experimented with several (four!) coaches at local popular training facilities, but no one seemed to be a good fit for our girl. I randomly stumbled upon LKN Pitching while Google searching batting cages, emailed Karen, and got an immediate friendly response. It was love at first lesson. She is a top notch PRO. Easily the best instructor we have ever worked with for any of our kids. Her technical expertise is unparalleled. She is laser focused on where you're athlete is, and knows how to incrementally get them to where they need to be. She doesn't miss a thing! Very in tune with her clients needs. Extremely motivational in her approach to coaching. Uses a variety of coaching tools that provide fun, engaging, useful ways for your child to lean new techniques. Always patient. You will see HUGE progress very quickly with Coach Karen. Frankly, I'm shocked she doesn't have more reviews. I can only assume that she is so coveted by her clients, they probably don't want to share!! I can empathize with that. So very challenging to find good teachers in any arena. When you get one as good as this, you want to hold on tight. Her facility is a perfect, clean, intimate space to get the attention your athlete needs and deserves. No distractions, no attitudes, just solid support. Bonus for homeschoolers, she provides morning and early afternoon lessons!!! Also very hard to come by.
I truly can't recommend LKN Pitching enough. The transformation we have seen in our daughter since working with Coach Karen, is remarkable. Did I mention she runs her own travel ball team, LKN Krakens, and coaches varsity softball at SouthLake Christian?? This coach is a powerhouse! Grab her before she's gone. read more
