Every clinic features different coaches! Take a look at our past and present staff to see who might be leading your clinic!

Coach Meg

Coach Meg began playing softball at age five and continued through her sophomore year of high school. She loved the game, but difficult coaching experiences caused her to step away—until nearly a decade later, when softball unexpectedly returned to her life, and she realized her true calling was coaching.

Since then, Meg has coached multiple teams, hosted camps and clinics in Palo Alto, California, and, after moving back to Tampa in the summer of 2024, led a women-led travel team for over a year. These experiences inspired her to create Phoenix Legacy Fastpitch, a women-led organization dedicated to developing confident, skilled athletes in a positive, supportive environment.

Meg’s coaching philosophy emphasizes not only fundamentals, game awareness, and mental toughness, but also building meaningful, lasting connections with her players—connections that continue long after they’re no longer on her team. Her mission is to help athletes grow on the field and become strong, confident young women who carry the lessons of softball into every part of their lives.

Coach Syd

Santa Fe State College

Sydney Fowler made an immediate impact as a true freshman in 2023, contributing as a hitter, shortstop, and pitcher across 51 games for the Saints. A New Port Richey, Florida native, she led the team in at-bats (174) while hitting .322 with a .350 on-base percentage and .511 slugging percentage, ranking second on the team with 56 hits, including a team-high 12 doubles and seven home runs. She drove in 35 RBIs (Top 25 in the FCSAA) and scored 33 runs, while striking out only five times all season. In the circle, she posted a 3–3 record with one save, a 3.07 ERA, and 24 strikeouts in 45.2 innings, earning All Mid-Florida Conference First Team honors. A four-year varsity standout at James W. Mitchell High School, she served as team captain, helped lead her team to multiple district and regional championships and two state Final Four appearances, earned Third Team All-State recognition, was named County Athlete of the Year, and is a member of the National Honor Society.

Coach Brooke

South Carolina University

A three-year starting shortstop at South Carolina, she became one of the program’s most reliable infielders, setting the career (.965) and single-season (.989, 2025) fielding percentage records at shortstop. She started over 180 games, recorded 345 career assists (4th all-time), and delivered key offensive moments, including a walk-off home run vs. Virginia (2/7/25) while hitting .294 in 2025. She earned SEC Community Service Team (2025) and College Sports Communicators Academic All-District (2024) honors. She began her collegiate career at Florida State and prepped at River Ridge High School, where she was a nationally ranked recruit and multi-time All-State selection.

Coach Giulia

Current University of Florida

Giulia Desiderio, currently a utility player for the Florida Gators, played three seasons at South Carolina, primarily as a catcher. She earned NFCA All-Scholar (2024) and multiple SEC Spring and First Year Honor Roll selections, while excelling defensively with a season-best .471 caught stealing rate (2023) and tying the program record for catcher fielding percentage (zero errors in 144 chances). She played in 52 games as a junior, throwing out 13 runners (second-most in the SEC), and contributed offensively with multiple multi-RBI games and key hits, including helping Carolina tie a program record with four double plays at Florida. A four-year letterwinner at River Ridge High School, she was a standout in softball, soccer, and volleyball, earning Sunshine Athletic All-Conference First-Team honors in both softball and soccer and was ranked the 18th-best catcher in the Class of 2021 by Extra Inning Softball.
