SOFTBALL LESSONS
Hannah Carson
SOFTBALL INSTRUCTOR
My name is Hannah Carson. I recently graduated from Louisiana State University (LSU) this past spring where I played softball and graduated with a sport psychology master degree. Before playing softball at LSU for the past two years, I had previously transferred from the University of Michigan where I played softball for four years and graduated with a bachelor's degree in Sport Management. While I was at Michigan I was the starting catcher and was part of the Second Team All Big Ten.
As a former division one softball player as well as being certified as a mental performance coach I believe I could help players in the area improve their game.

Sejal Neas
APP STATE PITCHER
Hello everyone! My name is Sejal, and I am a junior pitcher at App State. I am from Johnson City, TN, and I'm majoring in Exercise Science. I began playing softball at the age of 6 and discovered my love for pitching when I was 9. I have played softball at an elite level since age 14 and am so blessed with the opportunity to play for App State. Softball has given me many opportunities including traveling around the country as well as working with young female pitchers that have the same aspirations as I did when I was younger. It's such an honor to be able to hold lessons at Mountaineer Performance this fall! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at (423) 297-5460 or sejal.neas2021@gmail.com.
Melina Jacobson
SOFTBALL INSTRUCTOR
As a Watauga County local, I grew up playing baseball in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. After switching over to softball in high school, I received multiple All-Conference/State awards as a 4-year starting varsity third baseman. From there, I went on to play Division I Softball at Charleston Southern University.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Sport Psychology and Master of Science in Sport Management. I am currently pursuing an internship with Armor Mental Performance, which focuses on individual and team development to unlock the full potential of athletes, coaches, and teams.
I specialize in offensive hitting, bunting, and baserunning and defensive infielding with emphasis on efficient footwork and groundball approach. I offer foundational pitching instruction that centers around proper body mechanics and ball control. I maintain a strong background in sport-specific training and am able to provide a comprehensive plyometric, agility, and strength training plan for athletes.
With 20+ years of experience providing private softball instruction, it is an honor to invest back into the same community that once fully invested in me.
