I was always an underdog and in high school two other guys had catching spots locked up and I had already tried pitching with success when they ran out of pitchers in my town league so I told the coach ( after taking to my dad , my mentor of sports ) and he let me try and cut me and told me I couldn’t break a pane of glass . Thst summer I struck out 7 of 9 batters in the all star game for my town league and sentior year he kept me however only pitched me in catholic league games and I had a 0.9 era yet he would not pitch me in the games that mattered ? He lit a fire in me to prove him wrong and I walked onto a 1984 Lasalle university team that was like none other and that team is still as funny as ever and on social media and we had a 25 year reunion at the college somewhat recently. I could see about using all the connections these guys have. Bobby McNally went pro and other guys we can talk to and getting all the connections we can. However i will be you and your families main connection , I love baseball. The best sport to play. If you also play football , I can get you connected to Jeff Jaworski his uncle Rom took the eagles to a Super Bowl throwing to guys like Mike quick. Jeff was a championship quarterback in high school until a car accident stopped his career. His uncle has lots of gold courses now and part of the sports dream we can connect into. I also played semi pro baseball and struck out 17 batters in one game simply because my team wouldn’t warm me up and I got angry and not my character plus I decided to just throw fastballs down the middle and told then you better be ready to field. My ball moved so much much that that worked great since my fastball moved mile a slider. They where waiving at flies. Anyway there is so much to tell you and it’s not all baseball drills it’s also diet and exercise and loving baseball for what it is and unlock the formula. Also they lasalle team made it one game from the college world series and the stories I have tell you about underdogs and how to have fun but also be laser focused. We ran on and off the field and when I got to semi pro they walked and I was shocked at that since I knew what it takes to win and this was not it . I can tell you how navigate better than I did and how to workout and how to eat is critical besides lots of drills and pitching workouts I have taught championship pitchers and can teach you. I love the game. Also focus, my dad told me about it , but like my MCSE teacher taught me , sometimes you have to have more than 1 teacher to explain to you the various concepts of a subject. For me it was a Vietnam vet and I put together what he taught me and my dad and that 17 strike out game was a combination of both. Plus he was a golf caddie and he taught me to play golf as well. Ask me questions I want to select a pitcher to give some of my time to and I want to see more championship pitchers Florida in the winter has nice resorts like Wyndam and baseball continues all winter to double your training and experience can be priceless We can discuss all this , get in touch with me asap
