In the words of one of my former baseball coaches, “you have to love the grind!” Every day, I work towards achieving my goals of academic success and playing baseball at the highest level possible. Whether I’m trying to improve on my pop time or earn a higher grade on a math test, I always push myself to perform to the best of my ability. In order to be a better player, a better teammate, a better student, and better person; you have to love the grind.
