Coaching
I have 25+ years of experience and a passion for the game that is unending. I love to teach others and pass on the knowledge that I have gained over the years. I believe that kids should enjoy their time on the field and should never dread coming to practice and working on their game
Overseas Goals
Because I know I’m good enough. I want to challenge myself and see how far my passion for the game and willingness to sacrifice everything will take me. I spend every moment working to get better and I want to take a chance and do what I love.
Also, recently my brother was drafted in the 4th round to the Brewers and it has reignited a fire in me. My motivation has grown every single day for the past few years to the point where I have to try.
I spend as much time as I possibly can working to get better/faster/stronger. I’m currently working out in the gym 4-5 times a week, practicing baseball 3 days a week(not including games), and playing two games on every weekend.
