About~
Owner of Signature Softball and Head Coach- Tina Hack "Coach T"
Tina grew up in Wichita Falls, TX where she began playing softball at age four and pitching at age six. She was invited to play with several elite travel ball teams beginning at age 12 and began spending her summers traveling all over the U.S. playing and learning more and more about the sport she loves!
She has competed and placed in over 6 top regional and national tournament brackets. During her freshman year she tried out for her 5AAA high school team and was one of the starting pitchers. After she graduated high school she had to relocate from TX to Clemson SC. Unfortunately Clemson did not have a softball team, only a club travel ball team that plays in all the major pre-season tournaments. There she pitched, played third and first base for a year. She has worked at several clinics instructing youth pitchers from ages 7-18. She teaches defensive and hitting lessons too.
Currently- She is a head coach in the Carolina Thunder travel ball organization. She has participated in several camps and clinics in the South East region; My package deal, Queen of Diamonds Showcase tournament with Dot Richardson, and has hosted several of her own Signature Softball pitching clinics. She was invited to try out for Germany's pro-team last spring for her pitching and made it to the top 2 out of 15, not to shabby for a 36 year old.
She believes in order to be a great teacher and instructor you must always remain a student of the game. She attends seminars, camps, clinics and classes frequently to make sure her techniques are up to date. She is also an ASA Certified coach and has obtained her CPR/ first aide certifications for maximal safety of her students.
About Tina "Coach T"
What some happy softball students say:
If you are a beginning pitcher looking for the right mechanics or if you are looking to further develop at the highest level - Coach Tina is your legit instructor. Advanced instruction for all ages from a true coach that knows how to get her players where they need to be.
If you aren’t going to Coach T for instruction then you are wasting your time by going somewhere else. A+ highly recommended! -Coach Bill ( Father of Mary Esterek)
After 4 long years of weekly pitching lessons with minimal results we meet Coach T!!! Although we are grateful for every single person who has helped to groom our young daughter in pitching mechanics, and a sport/position that she loves, Coach T was the difference between average and competitive for our daughter. Coach T quickly bonded with, pushed and trained our daughter to do things she had no idea she was capable of. I was convinced on day one that I made the right decision and after a week the results were definitely evident. Coach T constantly finds ways to keep her progressing and excited to try something new because she never does the same thing twice during a lesson. Coach T not only trained her body she trained her mentally as well. I have watched many young girls get the same results, not just our own! If you haven't experienced Signature Softball, then you're missing out!!!! #happysoftballparent

My daughter Alex Trip started working with Coach T a year ago. She has really pushed her, built her confidence and held her accountable. She has put a fire in her that is amazing to see. Coach T is an amazing Coach. She has worked with My daughter in different settings such as a group and individually. She knew each of the girls and what they needed to work on. She knows her students. She does her homework. She expects her students to do theirs. If you have a dedicated child that loves the game and wants to pitch. I highly recommend Coach T. She's very knowledgeable and professional.
