            Each camp is one of a kind. Here’s the behind-the-scenes look at one of mine.

            Jul 12, 2019 at 1:06 pm

            I’m sitting here, days before my next clinic, and I thought it would be the perfect time to share with you EXACTLY what I think about while creating my very own “game-day” stage every time I organize a camp. After playing 20+ years of this beautiful game, it’s hard to get the same exact thrill… Continue reading Each camp is one of a kind. Here’s the behind-the-scenes look at one of mine.

            “We’re not like everyone else, and we’re not here to fit a mold.”

            I had a moment where I didn’t live out my motto… I did it last week, and I’m definitely not proud of it. I travel a lot. I’ve chosen a lifestyle where I spend a crazy amount of days traveling to camps, clinics, meetings, or heading across the country to watch my sis play college… Continue reading “We’re not like everyone else, and we’re not here to fit a mold.”

            Hitters…LET’S GET CREATIVE!

            Mar 12, 2019 at 7:21 pm

            Have you ever looked at something, turned your head, and said: “What if I could use that thing to help me hit?!” It’s totally okay if you haven’t…but you’d be surprised how many of us are out there. I honestly think it’s one of my crazy superpowers. Some of my students call me weird, and… Continue reading Hitters…LET’S GET CREATIVE!

            Why I LOVE to Journal

            Journaling is one of the best things I ever did for myself as a player, and it’s something I still do to this day. I’ve never met anyone who forgets things as fast as me, so when I have a thought, an amazing idea, or some kind of epiphany, I HAVE to write it down as soon as it comes to mind! When I was playing, my journal consisted of descriptions of my best days in between the lines and most definitely my worst as well. I was able to figure out problems in my swing, my confidence, and even my leadership by writing down the details of certain events. The more I wrote, the more I learned about myself, and I want you to do the same. Above are some of my most recent journal entries which have to do with a few things softball and also things that have NOTHING to do with softball. After all, your career doesn't last a life time, but your legacy can.

            Why Should YOU Journal?

            Imagine the best game you’ve ever had in your entire life. You probably remember what that pitcher looked like standing on the mound, the extreme confidence you felt in the box and on the field, or maybe even that amazing diving play you made to end the inning. I’m guessing you just smiled thinking about it. You were at your very best that day, and it always feels good to be at your best, doesn’t it? That “state of mind” is something we want to recreate as often as possible. So, writing down those details on a piece of paper (or maybe even your phone) has that day documented from the time you woke up, to the moment your head hit the pillow that night. Get it all down, because you might want to do some of those same things as part of your routine later on.


            Now, imagine the worst game you’ve ever had or a streak where you just couldn’t hit ANYTHING (we’ve all been there!). Those days when you’re not feeling your best, wouldn’t you want to look at that “best day” journal entry to remind yourself how great you are? You ARE amazing, and you have done amazing things on and off the field...so let's get those amazing things down! Think of it like you reminding yourself that you can get through anything! Having a journal is one thing, but putting it to good use is another. I promise it will help you with your game-day mentality and also get you through some of the hardest moments in your career. I’m excited to hear how a journal can help you!


            Brett Ehninger : “My daughter Brianna has been regularly taking lessons with Ashley for just about a year. In that time, Ashley has helped Brianna develop into an all-around better softball athlete. The focus in her lessons has been geared towards hitting, speed work, fielding, and mental approach. Ashley has a special ability to pull more out of Brianna, ‘to get comfortable, with being uncomfortable.’ Brianna looks forward to every lesson, and even though the work might be intense, Ashley makes it fun.”
