Heather brings over 25 years of teaching experience both on and off the field. Known as a fierce player in high school, she came away with a .500 career batting average, 3 All County Player awards, 3 MVPs, and 3x Daily News All Stars. At Georgia Southern University, which she attended with an athletic scholarship, Heather dominated the Division 1 level with a .361 batting average and received all TAAC honors. Perhaps known mostly for softball, Heather was also a vigorous volleyball, basketball and soccer player in college, going on to coach middle and high schoolers in some of these sports, as well. Heather's most valuable strengths as a softball coach and pitching instructor are her passion and willingness for continued learning in the field. She is never satisfied with what she knows and seeks out the highest level of instruction for young women. This has brought Heather to the Tincher Pitching Method, designed by Denny Tincher. This method focuses on a technique that transfers the body’s energy for maximum advantage on the mound regardless of body shape or height. Being confronted with her students complaining about sore shoulders and knowing this to be a sign of poor mechanics and over throwing, Heather's research brought her to the Tincher Method where she began to observe the results from Denny's students first-hand before fully studying the practice for her own benefit. Heather went on to complete a 70+ hour certification program making her the first and only Certified Tincher Pitching Instructor on Long Island. In addition to coaching, Heather has over 15 years of teaching experience in public schools. She has been a Health and Physical Education Teacher for middle school in the Dorchester Two School District in South Carolina, as well as a Special Education Teacher for emotionally disturbed and learning-disabled students. Heather has taught students with varying social, emotional, and cognitive learning issues ranging from autism to anxiety to ADHD. Heather's accomplishments as an athlete and coach continue to win her praise and prestige. Heather is a 4-time Hall of Famer. USSSA Slow Pitch Team of Distinction, New York State Softball Hall of Fame (NYSS HOF) Class of 2018, September of 2019, was inducted into the Nassau County High School Athletics Hall of Fame, October 2021 Long Beach High School Wall of Fame.
