With a degree is sociology, and a thesis is mental health in collegiate sports, I specialize in both the mental and physical side of the game. Through the years I have learned that nothing generates joy quite like baseball. It gives young generations a true glimpse of camaraderie while building selfless, respectful, and resilient individuals.

"Surfing has been on my bucket list for years, and at 60+ I finally decided to give it a shot. I had my first lesson with Rhavie and had an absolute blast. By the end of that first lesson, I was already catching waves on my belly and even riding them on my knees! On my second lesson, Rhavie helped me put it all together, and I finally stood up and rode my first wave. What an incredible feeling! Rhavie was patient, encouraging, and made learning something completely new at my age feel achievable. I checked surfing off my bucket list and now I’m hooked! 🤙🌊
