HELLO!

I'M COACH YANO

I grew up in the Treasure Valley in Ontario & played competitive softball through school. I pitched at Pacific University and graduated with my BA in Spanish. I then completed my Master's in Education from George Fox University. I returned home to teach high school Spanish & coach multiple softball and basketball teams at Ontario Middle and High School.

For the past 17 years, I've privately coached local softball players. Several of my clients have been with me from the beginning of their pitching journeys to receiving college ball offers. I value the relationships and trust built between myself and my players. Education is my passion, and I'm grateful for every day with my players & students.

My teaching style is high-energy and welcoming. I believe players reach their full potential when comprehension, diligence, & care are highlighted alongside softball mechanics.

My huskies, Jazzy & Sammy, are always excited to see new faces!
