About
I have dedicated my life to the game of baseball, and recently the game of softball as well. Seamlessly transitioning from a standout player to an influential coach shaping the next generation of athletes. With over 15 years of coaching experience spanning from young kids to collegiate level athletes, I feel that, my impact goes beyond just physical prowess, as I emphasizes the crucial mental aspects of the game.
My journey in baseball began during my time at American River Junior College, where I excelled both on the field and in the classroom. I was good enough and dedicated enough to earn recognition as a five-tool junior college athlete. As I progressed to becoming a four year collegiate athlete I had earned the prestigious accolade of NAIA All American which was a crowning achievement to my time playing in college.
In 2021, I joined USA Premier softball, reigniting a passion for coaching. Despite initially believing coaching and my playing days were behind me, I've embraced the opportunity wholeheartedly. Little did I know, this decision would lead to a profoundly fulfilling chapter in my life.
Transitioning from coaching baseball to girls' softball, I've discovered a new level of satisfaction and purpose. Today, alongside other great coaches I help lead a 14U, 16U, and 18U teams, nurturing and empowering young female athletes to reach their full potential. The journey has been immensely rewarding, and I'm very thankful to be able to witness the growth and commitment of these players.
Reflecting on my own development as a player, I acknowledge the profound influences of my own coaches, particularly a mentor who served as a New York Yankees double-A hitting coach. This have given me the understanding of the importance of passing down knowledge and techniques, which I instill into every player. The value of continuous learning and improvement is going shape the next generation of athletes, and I'm committed to give each player I work with that opportunity.
