"“My daughter Lexi was only 7 when she worked with him at a clinic at Highlands, and it was such a positive experience. At that age it can be tough to keep kids focused, but he had the perfect mix of patience, energy, and fun that kept her engaged the whole time. He broke things down in a way she could actually understand, and by the end of the day she was more confident in her swing and couldn’t stop talking about how much fun she had. As a parent, it was awesome to see someone with his playing experience give back to the younger kids and inspire them. Lexi left that clinic saying, ‘Mom, I wanna play like him one day.’ That says it all.”
