2023 Spotlight
Game AB's (4/4/24)Personal Statement
February 16th, 2023, was the opening day of the 2023 Colorado High School Activities Association State Wrestling Tournament. I qualified for the 4A State Tournament through a second-place finish at the regional tournament. Reaching the state tournament was a career highlight, but business needed to be finished. I aimed to stand on the podium as one of the six placers in 4A. I did not perform to the level I could; therefore, I did not reach my goal at the state tournament. I also let our team down. This experience was a crucible moment in my development as a student-athlete and as a person. Why? I realized that talent is never enough. I had to be open to learning and changing because talent is never a finished product. Because this moment kept me hungry, it forced me to think about what I needed to change or work on in all aspects of performance, including academics, skill development/enhancement, mental preparation, rest/recovery, and nutritional improvement. I became a better leader on and off the field.
I was fortunate to watch one of my teammates become a state champion at the tournament. He followed that up with achieving All-American status. This experience taught me the value of teamwork, commitment, sacrifice, and leadership. I am looking for a program that will be a good fit for me athletically and academically and will aid in my development to contribute positively to society and to my team. I have the talent to compete for a college team and the character traits of courage, humility, selflessness, duty, integrity, and positivity to make an immediate impact on your program. As a three-sport athlete and two-time captain, know I have the talent, character, work ethic, and demeanor to be a leader on your team.

Our goal is to be as highly developmental as possible while playing tough competition & giving access to our players to college recruiters.
- 2021 Power Alley (14U)
- ower Alley Baseball is a competitive travel program comprised of 9-under to 14-under teams, and is open to any child in Loveland and the surrounding communities. It is a program born out of the desire to create highly competitive teams where players can hone their skills against other players of similar skill levels. We believe “Iron Sharpens Iron.” Our program stresses the quality of play not the quantity of teams or players. We strive to give those who participate a very high quality baseball experience through an experienced staff and sound philosophy. Power Alley believes that competitive youth baseball is a tool for players to not only learn the skills necessary to eventually compete at the high school and collegiate level, but also to instill the values, tradition, and passion for the game. Our program believes in “trusting the process”: that repetition, discipline and trust will pay off in meeting the long-term goals of developing better baseball players, better athletes, and better young men. As competitive as youth baseball can get, we do not believe in sacrificing long-term goals for a win. We believe in creating a competitive atmosphere where kids can feel safe to be courageous and make mistakes so that they can learn (failure is not the opposite of success, it is a part of it).
