"I’ve worked with Alicia Reed and what sets her apart isn’t just that she’s a great player, it’s that she’s an exceptional teacher. Coaching is a completely different skill set than playing, and Alicia truly excels at it. She doesn’t just feed balls and say “good shot.” She actually sees what you’re doing, explains why it isn’t working, and shows you how to fix it. She pays attention to paddle position, footwork, timing, and mechanics, and she makes corrections in real time. She doesn’t stop for long speeches or overcomplicate things. She shows you what to do, has you do it immediately, and keeps you engaged the entire lesson. What I appreciate most is that if something isn’t clicking, she finds another way to teach it. She has a gift for breaking things down in a way that makes sense and helping you feel the difference right away. In a short amount of time, Alicia helped me go from a 2.8 to a 3.5 player. Her years of coaching experience really show. Being a great player and being a great coach are two different things, and Alicia is an excellent coach. If you’re looking for someone who can truly develop your game and help you improve, I highly recommend her.

Every session I combine technical rigor with a warm, encouraging approach to help athletes develop skill and confidence. I have taught baseball for several years, specializing in hitting mechanics, defensive fundamentals, and game-sense development to help players reach their potential.

Coach of the 12U team at Rotties Baseball, My mission is to help young athletes is to become better players & better young men, teaching them the value of hard work, teamwork, and a love for the game that extends beyond high school and into college and beyond.

Since being introduced to golf at a young age, I have been passionate about bettering myself and others at the game. From playing at the high school, college, and playing in professional tournaments, I have spent the last 7 years as a caddie. While the winter months would bring me to the tropics of Jupiter, Florida, the arrival of my son this year has given me the motivation to help better the greater Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley areas full time. I have a unique approach- I will not hook you up to wires or devices or stress about what your swing speed is, as no two swings are the same. Golf is 90% mental, and I will help you master course management while teaching you how to address each and every shot. You cannot get better at anything by sitting around, so let’s use these cold winter months to personalize YOUR game through the eyes of a caddie, so that your friends and family will be shocked this spring when you tee it up!
