Baseball has always been one of my passions in life. From a young age I always dreamed to play at the highest level possible. Although I never made it to the big leagues, I still feel as though the Lord blessed me with a long and meaningful career. The people I have encountered, plus the knowledge and experiences I have attained are irreplaceable. My playing career was full of many ups and downs, but I feel the Lord was able to use me for his glory through it all. Sports allow us to compete at a high level, but also can allow us to build meaningful relationships with others. No matter what our stats are at the end of our career, the thing valued most should be our relationship with the Lord and the relationships build with others.

The main lesson I aim to pass along to young athletes is the value in creating lasting friendships. I truly believe this is one of the main areas God can use us in the world of sports and in life. In baseball we tend to get wrapped up in our own personal performance and forget to place the focus on others. By making the game all about ourselves, we lose any influence we may have. This is a lesson I constantly had to remind myself throughout my career and even still have to remind myself to this day. Within a self-centered sports run society it must be a goal to daily put humility at the forefront of our minds. As scripture says we are to do nothing with selfish motives, but we are to count others more valuable than ourselves.

My goal to ensure that the athletes who are in my program are also growing as people, not solely as baseball players. Even though this is a company based on helping athletes with their performance. Our performance on the field will never be what defines us as people.
