“Today, a lot of kids individualize in a specific sport. I think one of the things that helped me most was playing everything. I played basketball, I played football, I ran track. I even played soccer one year, [and] I played baseball. I think it allowed me to recruit different muscles [and] work on different things that I normally wouldn’t. And, it gave me a greater appreciation for the sport that I’ve come to love.”

Fall of 2020, I begin high school as a three sport athlete. Why three sports? It's simple... I just love to play and compete. I have often heard, "High school and college sports careers don’t last forever." I have four years of high school to play all the sports I love. Hopefully, four years of college to compete in one of them. I’m never going to have an opportunity like high school to ever play multiple sports at a competitive level again. I believe as an athlete I should take advantage of EVERY chance I get to compete. We only get so many chances to compete in sports. It’s a finite number. There is nothing comparable to actual competition to develop character, build leadership abilities, teach the value of sportsmanship, and the importance of commitment to teammates. The experience, pressure, and adversity faced during competition are priceless building blocks that cannot be gained by offseason practice and workouts alone. I never want to look back when I'm older and regret missing out on something I could have done.
Covid 19 has presented a challenge to get my freshman seasons in, because of this I focused on baseball and basketball and decided not to play football as a three sport athlete my Freshman year.. The Football season was squeezed into the Spring and I felt that it interfered with baseball. My purpose of this website is to chronicle my High School/Club seasons over the course of the following four years 2020-2024.
