I’m a D1 softball player at Santa Clara University, and I’ve been around the game pretty much my whole life. Pitching is what I love, but coaching is a close second. I’m big on keeping things simple, building confidence, and actually helping pitchers understand what they’re doing — not just going through the motions. Whether it’s mechanics, mental approach, or just learning how to compete, my goal is to help every pitcher improve and enjoy the process. And I really do care about the kids I coach
"I just started working with her and she has helped me a lot. She makes me laugh and my lessons are always fun. She knows a lot about pitching, but she doesn’t make it sound confusing when she coaches me.

Coach Noah Gardere – 1‑on‑1 Wide Receiver Training Precision. Confidence. Game‑Ready Results. I’m Coach Noah Gardere, a former two‑way varsity starter from Santa Teresa High School. I earned my spot on varsity as a sophomore and finished my senior year with 880 receiving yards, 57 receptions, 10 touchdowns, 200 special‑teams yards, and 73 tackles. I built my game on sharp routes, strong hands, and a relentless work ethic. Now, I channel that same mindset into coaching. In my 1‑on‑1 sessions, I focus on mastering route running, footwork, catching technique, and situational football IQ. My style is precise and patient—I break down each skill so athletes become truly fluent in what they’re learning—while also bringing the motivational fire that pushes you to reach the next level of skill and confidence. My mission is simple: to give receivers the opportunities they deserve, sharpen their talent, strengthen their mindset, and bring out the absolute best version of themselves—on and off the field.
