I play high school ball and I put a lot of time and work in on the baseball field and in the weight room. My senior season is going to start soon and I couldn’t be more excited. Years ago I came to the realization that I am just simply not good enough to play ball at a higher level and I set my focus on other goals.

    Practice for Baseball has always been fun for me, I feel as though I was made for this sport!! Having fun with teammates practicing and working out I've enjoyed the more I get older and become the “ leader.” Working out will help avoid and heal injuries. Working out has to take the mindset of never stopping til you’ve reached your goal like specific set of rep or in my case, making it to the Pro’s and being one of the great. From the day I was born, to my first practice to my first home run and my last game as a pro my momma will always be there supporting her “baby boy.” She’s the greatest person in my life and the reason why i am, why I’m good, and why I’ll be the great.

My ninth grade year, I hit my very first home run during that fastpitch season.…
