As a Coach / Mentor with Worldwide Baseball Prospects, I am looking forward to sharing my knowledge and experiences with the players of WBP to help guide them through their quest for athletic development. Not only can I teach athletes, but I believe that each athlete that I work with teaches me something new about how I can better serve them.

“It’s good to be green.” - Kermit the Frog

As a student-athlete, it helps to have mentors that can provide you with guidance along your path through developmental milestones and athletic achievements. For me, one of those mentors was Dr. Jack Hughston. Considered by most as a pioneer in the field of sports medicine, he was among the first to provide medical coverage to collegiate athletic programs.

When I arrived for my freshman year of college on the campus of Auburn University, I was fortunate enough to receive a scholarship as a student athletic trainer and Dr. Hughston was the university’s Team Physician. As a student, it didn’t take me long to be introduced to his favorite saying:

“As long as you’re green, you’re still growing. Once you’re ripe, you’re next to rotten.”

This saying has stayed with me throughout my entire career as an athletic trainer and strength and conditioning coach. It has reminded me that once, I think that I know everything that there is to know about my profession, then I’ve missed out on a lot of new information. The sports medicine and sports performance fields are always changing and evolving and it is important to continue to grow a base of knowledge, develop new concepts, and fine tune my training philosophies and programs. It is also important to pass on that knowledge to others.

In sports, Dr. Hughston’s saying is still true. In order to be successful on the field, you have to continue to keep your body strong, improve your skill techniques, hone and adjust your mental approach, and fine tune your perceptual abilities. If you don’t, then your game becomes stagnant and reaches a plateau. Only when you resume the training process will you continue to improve.
