I still remember walking out to the outfield grass heavy hearted after being eliminated from the 2010 NAIA World Series Super Regional.  I was in utter disbelief that my baseball career was over. Like most baseball players I had devoted my childhood and young adult years to the game I loved with the dream of playing Major League Baseball. Again, like most baseball players…I didn’t make it.

After graduating college, and in the midst of cleaning out my house wondering what was next in life (it wasn’t going to be the MLB draft), I stumbled upon a water damaged book my dad had purchased for me after my junior year of high school.  It was titled, The Mental Keys to Hitting, by one of the pioneering baseball Sport Psychology gurus, Harvey Dorfman.  As I flipped through the pages it was like having my eyes and mind enlightened for the first time.  I might not have packed many boxes that day but I had figured out exactly what my mission would be for the rest of my life…to make sure that as many athletes as possible learn and master the mental game in life and their sport. With a strong mental game…they’d have a chance.  Without it…they’d never stand a chance.  I discovered that the most powerful influencer in getting to the highest level had little to do from the neck down and EVERYTHING TO DO from the neck up.

WHAT I’M UP TO TODAY…   
I’m still in pursuit of my dream of making it to the Major Leagues.  These days I am just doing it in another capacity as a Sport Psychology Consultant mentoring others towards their dreams which has been equally rewarding.  I currently have the privilege of working with a clientele base that ranges from professional baseball players down to little league baseball and softball players, teaching them the strategies of performing at a high level consistently on a daily basis while enjoying their sport to the fullest.

Christian Athlete Mentoring
For me there is no greater joy than mentoring Christian Athletes in integrating their relationship with God into their mental strength training programs in order to find stability in a sports world of instability.
