Hi I’m Rachel Grundei, I'm a senior at Leander High School and I’m committed to the University of Illinois. I play for Blaze 18U United. I’ve been all-State for my high school multiple years and I’m ranked 22nd in top 100 players in Line Drive Softball. I work with players of all levels to build confidence at the plate, improve mechanics, and develop a strong, consistent swing. My goal is to create a positive and encouraging environment while teaching the fundamentals and mindset that have helped me succeed in my own career. I take pride in being patient, energetic, and dedicated to each athlete’s progress.

My name is Kathryn Carnesi, and I am a varsity pitcher at Glenn High School. I also play for Illusions Gold National CTX Garcia 18U. I give lessons for beginner pitchers through 12U pitchers. I have been pitching since I was 9 years old, and consistently going to pitching lessons since I was 10. I have been trained by Ron Holt, Chelsea Rex-Singleton, and Angela Geurin. My goal is to teach young pitchers proper mechanics to help set them up for long term pitching success!
