ACADEMIC
Achievements/Experience
- B.S. in Exercise and Sport Science - studied biomechanics, kinesiology, injury prevention, motor learning, and performance optimization—all of which directly enhance my ability to teach proper pitching mechanics and design effective training plans.
- B.A. in Psychology - deepened my understanding of mental performance, motivation, emotional regulation, and athlete identity.

Together, these degrees allow me to approach coaching holistically—training the body and the mind, so each athlete can thrive in their sport and beyond.
- Currently pursuing M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Liberty University
- Conducted studies on the fear of re-injury leading to perfomance anxiety and the effects of religion and spirituality on mental health
- The degrees provide a combination that uniquely equips me to coach athletes with both a physical and mental edge.
