Baseball Factory Profile: http://members.baseballfactory.com/player/147761/
At a very young age, it was driven into me that hard work and determination gets you places in life. I have incredible role models, which are my parents. My love for baseball began at the age of 5, the moment my dad put a bat and a ball in my hands. Progressing from that stage is when I started to realize that my passion for the game of baseball was like no other. This game has never failed to bring me into a stress free zone, a zone where I am focused, determined, and ready to give it my all the moment I step onto the field. Whether it is in a game, a practice, or just going out with a friend to get some training in. My goal is to take myself to the next level in the game and I am preparing myself everyday for it. I give it my all when I'm out there and I am willing to give my all for whichever team I am fortunate enough to play for, win or lose. One of the most important things that I've learned throughout my lifetime is to never take anything for granted. Any opportunity that comes my way, I am going to go for it. Academically, I maintain the same focus as I do on the field and at home. My grades have always come first for me. I know that without the books, one does not succeed in life. I have been blessed with incredible family, coaches, mentors, friends and teammates that push me above and beyond every single day. Without them I would not be the person, student, or athlete that I am today. Striving for excellence no matter what the task at hand is, is the norm in my every day life. The motto I live by...go big or go home!
