Alli Kennewell was a 4-year starting infielder for the University of Missouri. In her time at Mizzou, they made it to three regional appearances, two Big XII tournament Championship games, and finished as a top-20 team in the nation. Alli received All-Big XII academic honors and Defensive Player of the Year. She played and learned under the current coach of Mizzou, Ehren Earleywine. Earleywine has established himself as one of the best coaches in the nation, leading the Tigers to back-to-back-back World Series appearances from 2009-2011.

Since graduating in 2007, Alli has earned a Master’s degree in Psychology and has become a full-time instructor. She is now owner/instructor of iTrain, a softball instruction system offering high quality instruction to athletes across North Texas. She plans to expand iTrain to offer instruction in other areas such as pitching, catching, and slapping instruction.

Alli teaches a simple, yet powerful swing that emphasizes the importance of using body weight, balance, and bat speed. Although the swings of many professional baseball and softball hitters appear different, there are certain points of the swing that all great hitters find. Alli believes in emphasizing these points as well as combining them with a player’s personal style and comfort. Using her degree, she also stresses the importance of the mental side of hitting. Translating hitting at practice into hitting in the game can be one of the hardest and often most neglected areas of the game. Often mental game and confidence issues hinder the performance of the athlete, so Alli uses mental game techniques as well as addresses all areas of hitting to help a player reach her full potential.
