IT’S TIME.
Hi, I am Drake Ives.
I’m from Sumter, South Carolina, I graduated from Wilson Hall in 2018, and Wofford College in 2022. I played softball for 10+ years, and I have coached individual pitching, catching, hitting, and fielding lessons with 150+ girls.
As a player, I couldn’t run fast, so I learned to hit home runs. I was a catcher without a pitcher, so I learned to pitch. I didn’t know how to pitch, but I learned how to strike batters out. I really enjoyed winning.
My greatest strength was my mental approach. I knew my competition well, I strategically prepared, and I intentionally visualized my outcome, until it became true. I am passionate about coaching kids to become true winners, on and off the field.
I believe that every child deserves a hero. Every person should have a coach. I’ve been working hard to achieve this vision.
I created Big Leagues Ball Club LLC to elevate youth by connecting qualified coaches with aspiring athletes, artists and musicians. Our digital scheduling, networking, and payment platform makes booking lessons and training convenient and affordable.
Whether it be through music, sports, or art, coaching is a tool to empower someone and change their life. To be a coach is to impact. To be coached is to unlock unchartered potential.
Be a coach. Book a lesson.
WELCOME TO THE BIG LEAGUES
where winners are made.
If you or someone you know is interested in scheduling lessons, becoming a coach, or investing in Big Leagues Ball Club, please reach out to me. I’m still in the early stages of a start up; I’m looking for good people who want to get involved and work together to make an impact.
