I started playing baseball when I was 6 years old, the sport was mainly just a way to stay physically active up until i was 12. Along with baseball was in soccer and gymnastics throughout this 6 year period. At the age of 12 I found a want to play baseball more then other sports, because of its unique structure, and the competition that came with it. My dad's knowledge of baseball has helped me to become a better pitcher through my junior high school and high school baseball career. Along with the baseball academy at my high school, I have learned about leadership qualities, muscle building, preventing injuries, work-ethic, and having good character. I always try to bring the fun out of training and learning, even with learning outside of baseball.
