Why do I coach with East Coast Sox"

  I coach with the East Coast Sox baseball organization because it allows me to make a meaningful impact on young athletes, both on and off the field. The organization’s mission to develop players not just physically, but also mentally and spiritually, aligns with my core values as a coach. I believe in using baseball as a tool to teach life lessons—discipline, perseverance, and faith—while also providing players with opportunities to reach the next level in their baseball careers. Coaching with the East Coast Sox gives me the platform to mentor and inspire, helping athletes grow into strong competitors and even stronger individuals. Very thankful for this opportunity!!.
