COACHING PHILOSOPHY
I believe in the development of the WHOLE player, getting the kids to understand why they are not “married” to one position at any youth age/level is important. I also believe getting the boys to understand how to approach the game in a mature and competitive way is important, not only in baseball but life as well. And finally…love the game.
FAVORITE TEAM
Boston Redsox
FAVORITE MEMORY COACHING OR PLAYING
There are too many to count. Playing junior college baseball at SGSC, the memories made with teammates on and off the field will last a lifetime.
Coaching in Cooperstown, NY was a trip that was a great memory with great families and the boys. The times in the barracks, on the field, at the HOF will be something I will always cherish!
WHY DID YOUR FAMILY CHOOSE CBC?
My family came to CBC when I was young and I was still playing. We made the move at 13U from MSA. CBC was the best option for the team to operate at the level we wanted to compete at.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ASPECT OF CBC’S OPENING DAY?
My favorite aspect of opening day are the family atmosphere and the visual excitement for the upcoming season.
WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE SEASON?
As a coach at CBC my favorite season was going to Cooperstown with a great group of kids and families.
