I am extremely interested in gaining more coaching experience and am confident my 10+ years of combined coaching experience in the minor leagues, NAIA college baseball, high school showcase teams and youth baseball, as well as league operations management, after a 7-year professional playing career will be an asset to your program.After being drafted to the Pittsburgh Pirates out of college and pursuing my dreams of being a professional baseball player, I can relate to student-athletes regarding the pressures of trying to get to the next level while also handling academic responsibilities and competing each day on the field. My passion for player development as well as understanding the importance of being a student-athlete will allow me to guide and mentor athletes to achieve maximized performance levels and success in the game of baseball on and off the field.While my resume highlights my high levels of baseball experience and knowledge, my recent experiences of running a youth league in the Dallas area, coaching multiple teams at multiple levels, and teaching players skills through private lessons have heightened my abilities in time management, organization, task delegation, and setting strategic goals. I am well versed in teaching methodologies, game strategies, baseball analytics, and physical awareness. These attributes along with my ability to work with athletes one-on-one and in larger settings will make me a successful addition to your staff. Thank you for your time and consideration. I have attached my resume and reference page. I am excited for the opportunity to discuss my qualifications further.
