Coaching
Can teach the fundamentals of hitting, fielding, throwing and base running. Hitting philosophy is to hit the ball hard to the middle of the field or opposite way. Fielding to make the routine plays every time and base running to take advantage of extra base opportunities
Overseas Goals
Want to play baseball professionally internationally and eventually in Asia.
Was not apart of a team in 2022 fall and 2023 spring to finish my masters in sport psychology but was still doing baseball activities 4-5 times a week with the ISU baseball team and was facing MLB affiliated and independent ball pitchers before they left for spring training.
