She joined Juniata’s staff in 2023 and now enters her 4th season leading the program, blending elite-level coaching with a commitment to athlete growth on and off the field, earning her Landmark Coach of the Year in 2023 & 2024.
At the core of McKenna’s coaching philosophy is empowering young women: she emphasizes strength, skill development, and mental confidence—preparing players not only to excel in softball, but to become resilient, confident athletes beyond the game.

What if she misses a session?
Life happens, we get it! While we encourage athletes to attend every session (as they build upon each other), we also understand that sometimes life is unpredictable. If you have vacations or other things planned and it will take you out of at least 2 weeks of the program, you may want to consider joining us in the future. If you think she will miss one session, we priced the program to accommodate for ONE miss.
What makes this clinic different?
It’s more than reps. We build stronger, faster, more confident athletes by training her body, fueling her mind, and helping her define who she is—beyond the game.
