 Bring Olympic caliber knowledge to your area. Leah speaks and conducts coaches and player clinics around the nation. Leah covers most aspects of the game. She was recruited to Arizona as a pitcher and 1st baseman, and played outfield in the 1996 and 2000 Olympics then reverting back to first base for the 2004 Olympics, so she teaches both infield play and outfield play. She is also a left handed hitter who hits, slaps and drag bunts and teaches how to be an offensive threat.
PUBLIC SPEAKING & APPEARANCES
 Leah speaks about her Olympic experience to many different groups. She gets you motivated to be the best you can be in everything you do. Leah has been successful individually and in the team setting and truly believes that a positive mindset plays a big role in her success. Leah also believes that success comes from having balance in your life. She took that to another level as the only mom on the 2004 Olympic team, paving the way for future Olympic team members to be great athletics, wives and mothers. Leah, married to her husband Tommy since 1999, is the mother of three beautiful boys: Jake (born in 2001), Drew (2005) and Luke (April 2007).
Leah also speaks to Christian schools, organizations and churches. Her faith in Jesus Christ comes first in her life.

God has given Leah a platform as an Olympic Gold Medalist and she loves to use it as an opportunity to share the love of Christ with others.

Testimonials
"Great Clinic!...has provided motivation, skills, and
revived interest in girls ages 18 and below in the great
game of fastpitch softball. Over 400 girls have
attended during the past 3 years. A must if you want the best!"
Walter Philips
El Paso, Texas
"Our travel organization had Leah come to Delaware for a local clinic in 2002 with the idea that she would be the perfect role model with a great personality. Leah's knowledge of the game and her delivery made such a huge impact, we knew we had to get her back. In 2004, Leah came back to Delaware and was  better than the first time. She really helped our people gain the knowledge to develop their skills and left a trail of motivated girls. Leah has a presence about her that just helps you grasp what she is saying. I truly believe Leah is the perfect person for us to bring in to help train and motivate our girls. We can hardly wait for her return!"
