"My favorite part was how Sky carefully explained the basics like grip, stance, posture, and alignment while watching my swing closely. I liked trying different clubs to get a feel for each one. This session was very practical and well-paced. If you're looking to sharpen your fundamentals, definitely give Sky’s lessons a try! 😊

Baseball has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I started playing at the age of six, and from that moment on, the game became my passion. Growing up, I dedicated myself to improving every aspect of my play, developing a strong work ethic and competitive mindset that carried me through every level of the sport. I played college baseball at the University of San Francisco (USF), competing at a high level and refining my skills against top-tier competition. After my time at USF, I continued my career professionally playing in Mexico for 6 years and another in the Golden Baseball League, where I faced seasoned professionals and gained invaluable experience in the game. Throughout my journey, baseball has shaped me both on and off the field. It taught me discipline, resilience, and the importance of teamwork. I’ve learned how to adapt under pressure, analyze situations strategically, and push myself beyond limits—qualities that I continue to apply in every aspect of my life and career. Whether it was grinding through long seasons, overcoming setbacks, or making game-changing plays, my time in baseball has been defined by commitment, perseverance, and a deep love for the game. It’s an experience that will always be a core part of who I am.
