Coach Lisa Miller

This is Lisa’s 11th year coaching. She’s a family girl at heart with a passion to help her players achieve the success they dream of in a way that they can enjoy the entire process.
In the daytime, she is the Director of Operations for Real Estate Property Management Company owned by her family.
She grew up in the St.Louis Softball world and was coached by George Jones and Vicki Schneider from the age 5 to 18. She was a pitcher and 3rd basemen primarily however a true utility on the field. In the batters box, she was a power hitter and typically did well moving girls around the bases. She is a firm believer we can play hardcore ball while having the time of our lives.
From Coach Lisa: Softball is in my blood and I cannot remember a time when it wasn't. I grew up watching my sister as I was a toddler behind the backstop knowing one day, that would be me. Well, by age 5 that was me. By age 8 I was taking lessons with George Jones for pitching and Vicki Schneider for hitting. My senior year of high school I was met with a rough patch in my softball career and ultimately hung up my cleats. I used to look back and regret it but now as I have grown older and experienced this game through the coaching side, I feel like it was exactly what I was meant to do. I went to college for Elementary Education and while I am no longer in the education field daily, I am able to use those skills with our team and I am beyond grateful for that. I feel honored to impact the lives of the girls around me and doing this with some of the greatest people in the game by my side as examples to the team and examples to me. I never want to stop learning and the coaches here at St. Louis Chaos as well as all of the players will continue to impact me throughout the years to come. These girls will do amazing things.
