Chiles, a former All-American for the Lady Vols (2004-07), will primarily work with the slappers and outfielders. She joins the staff after working as a pharmaceutical sales representative for Johnson & Johnson. She is the current owner and operator of SlapperNation, LLC.
As a player, Chiles helped Tennessee reached the Women’s College World Series three times (2005, 2006 and 2007) and the NCAA Tournament four times from 2004-07. The Lady Vols also made the WCWS championship game in 2007 and finished the season as national runners-up.

Her senior season was her most impressive season, in which she finished with a .459 batting average with 57 runs, 89 hits, 44 stolen bases, an on-base percentage of .502 and a slugging percentage of .500. In addition to her SEC Player of the Year honor, Chiles was named Louisville/NFCA First-Team All-American, WCWS All-Tournament Team and All-SEC Tournament Team honors.
She was also invited to the USA Softball Team Selection Camp and was drafted by the Akron Racers of the National Pro Fastpitch in 2007.
Chiles was also a great student in the classroom while on Rocky Top, having been named an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American, SEC Spring Honor Roll (2006, 2007, 2008), and Academic All-SEC (2004, 2008) honoree.
