Summary
Enthusiastic athlete dedicated to pursuing goals, promoting team player mentality and performing well under pressure. Extensive experience in leadership positions and working with teams. Committed to helping others through effective time management and motivation. Organized and dependable candidate successful at managing multiple priorities with a positive attitude. Detail-oriented with strong organizational skills with a willingness to take on added responsibilities to meet team goals. I am seeking the pitching performance coach position as it offers professional challenges utilizing interpersonal skills, excellent time management and problem-solving skills in the sport I would love to expand my knowledge and skills on. I have an incredible passion for baseball and now that my time pursing my dream has come to an end I find just as much passion in teaching the game and getting other players to reach their goals as well as continuing to expand my knowledge on it in order to grow the game even more. I have been training at or with Driveline most of my career and that has created this extra passion to pursue this route.
