Coach Alyssa has built her coaching style on the foundation of firsthand experiences, discipline, and a genuine love for the game. As an Oakland, New Jersey native, she discovered her passion for softball at young age when she first stepped onto the field at just 8 years old. From that moment forward, the sport became a central part of her life.
 

Her drive and competitive spirit carried her through a memorable career at Indian Hills High School, where she was a four-year varsity letterman, playing both first base and outfield. As a key power hitter, she made a significant impact early in her career, especially during her sophomore season, where she batted .522, driving in 53 RBIs and tailing 11 home runs.

Known for her relentless work ethic and focus, Alyssa earned All-Conference, All-State, All-Region, and NFCA All-American honors, gaining a reputation for her consistent performance and strong contributions to her team throughout her four years. Coach Alyssa then went on to continue her softball journey as a four-year NCAA athlete at The
University of Scranton, where she developed into a powerful presence in the lineup and on the field.

 

As a first baseman and power hitter for her team, she consistently batted in the heart of
lineup, providing leadership and offensive strength for her team. Her collegiate career was marked by All-Conference and All-Region honors, reflecting both her performance and presence on the field. Beyond her performance, she was a respected leader and someone her teammates could rely on for steady support and daily inspiration.

However, softball is only part of her story. While competing at the collegiate level, Alyssa also balanced a demanding academic schedule, graduating with a degree in Biology and setting her sights on a career in the medical field. That experience has taught her how to juggle pressure, stay organized, and show up for herself and her team, which are important lessons that she now passes on to the athletes that she coaches.

In every session, Coach Alyssa brings her love for the game into her instruction, placing a strong emphasis on the mental side of softball. She helps athletes build solid mechanics, sharpen their game awareness, and develop confident mindsets. Her goal is not only to help players become better athletes, but also to ensure they feel empowered and mentally sharp every time they step onto the field. She brings energy, honesty, and heart to every session, and above all, she’s passionate about helping players become the best versions of themselves, both on the diamond and beyond.
