Specializations Hitting Motivational Speaking Mental Training Defense I had an amazing life traveling the world and competing in the sport I loved. I grew up in Roseville Ca and attended Oakmont High School where I am a recent Hall of Fame Inductee. After Oakmont I went on to play at Sac City College where I was also inducted into the Hall of Fame. I then signed a full ride to UCLA where I won a National Championship with the Bruins and became an All American. I turned pro after college and played with Team USA. Following my fun and adventurous career I began teaching kids of all ages and soon discovered my passion was coaching and making an impact in kids lives. I love my job and I love the art of Hitting and am grateful to be able to share my experiences and love of the game with hundreds of kids. Welcome to Lyndsey Klein Softball.
