As I transitioned into college, I spent my first season at College of Sequoias in Visalia, Ca. This year was prime COVID, so all junior college athletics in the state of California was paused. Due to the circumstances, I decided to come home and play baseball at the junior college in my hometown, Bakersfield College. During my time at Bakersfield College, I underwent back to back season ending shoulder surgeries. After my second shoulder replacement, I thought it was over. Every odd felt against me and all I wanted to do was give up. But, my junior college coach at Bakersfield College refused to let me think irrational and had other plans for me. After completing my associate’s degree, I decided to take one last attempt on the game that I love. My 3rd season at Bakersfield College, I managed to hit .531 in 13 games played, with 3 hrs and 15 RBI’s gaining my self a full ride scholarship to play college baseball at Texas Wesleyan University, where I finished up my playing career. Due to how my playing career has shaped me, it inspired me to pursue a career and passion in Sports Psychology. With having all the baseball knowledge from the great coaches throughout my career and understanding the psychological aspects of baseball and sports through my schooling and personal experiences, I think I would be a great fit for any of your baseball needs!
