Two lessons from my career
Working hard is not enough.
You have to work on the RIGHT things.
You have to go after what you say you want.
Make the call, go to the tryout, invest in your training.
My story
My baseball journey started like most kids. I had a burning desire to become a Major League Baseball player.
While I may have fallen short of that dream, I have been able to accomplish many great things that have molded me into the coach and person I am today.
I was never the biggest or strongest player and I had to constantly prove that I was good enough to be on the field. This underdog mentality instilled a strong work ethic and a desire to find any edge I could over my opponents.
I have taken this same mentality into coaching.
My mission is to help players realize they are capable of far more than they think. My approach to development is having a long-term vision with short-term processes to help you get there.
Thank you for letting me be a part of your development.
Let's get to work.
