Summary
For all my life, I have wanted to empower other athletes who were late bloomers like me. Through six years of college baseball, from being a draft prospect to not playing, growing from all the ups and downs, and educating myself by being surrounded by people smarter than myself to become the best coach and change athletes' lives.
