She emphasizes the importance of leadership behind the plate and provides players with valuable insight into the mental aspects of catching and hitting.
Madison Shipman, former All-American shortstop at the University of Tennessee and professional player in the NPF, will lead infield sessions focusing on footwork, quick hands, and game awareness. She also works with hitters, sharing swing mechanics and drills designed to build consistency and power at the plate. Additionally, Madison is an analyst for ESPN and the Toronto Blue Jays. She works studio and radio for the Blue Jays, and she commentates for ESPN softball during the season as well.
