HRM Travel Softball is led by longtime coaching duo Jennifer Patrick-Swift and Patrick Swift, who bring over two decades of championship-level experience

and a shared passion for player development.

Jennifer is the creator of The Home Run Mindset and a former NCAA Division I head coach at both NC State and Saint Francis University, where she built nationally ranked offenses and led her teams to conference titles and NCAA tournament appearances. Patrick began his career in college baseball but made the transition to softball in 2012 — transitioning to softball so he and Jennifer could coach side by side while raising their young family. He joined Jennifer’s staff at both Saint Francis and NC State, where together they built successful programs rooted in culture, consistency, and development. Throughout that time, Patrick became known for being ahead of the curve in areas like technology integration, recruiting strategy, and team defense — bringing a modern, detail-oriented edge to everything he touched.

While collegiate coaching was their profession, Jennifer and Patrick made a purposeful choice not to push softball on their three daughters, despite being surrounded by the game. But after years of watching the strong, confident young women their parents coached, all three girls asked to learn the game for themselves — inspired by the role models they saw wearing the same uniforms.

As their daughters continued to grow in the sport, the Swifts embraced what they believe was a purposeful shift God placed in their lives: the call to pause coaching other people’s children, as they had for so many years, and instead focus on coaching their own. That calling gave birth to HRM Travel Softball — a program rooted in faith, family, and the transformational power of mindset. They are

grateful to still be giving back to the sport they love while helping grow the next generation of athletes with the same intention, joy, and belief that guided their college teams for over a decade.
