I've spent my life in this game. I played at Serra High School, where I was CCS, WCAL, and SF Chronicle Player of the Year. At Santa Clara I was a captain and a two-time All-WCC First Team shortstop, and the Angels drafted me in the 7th round.

​

After playing, I spent 10 years as a Division I coach at Stanford and Santa Clara, 7 of them as recruiting coordinator. I offered more than 300 scholarships and saw every side of how college programs evaluate and build rosters.

​

Today I work one-on-one with athletes from high school to pro on two things: the recruiting process and the mental game. Recruiting work is baseball. The mental game work is for athletes in any sport. 55 JKAthletes have committed to play college baseball: 49 at Division I, 4 at Division II and 2 at Division III, from Power 4 programs to smaller schools that fit them best.

​

My philosophy is simple: help you become a better human so you can become a better athlete. The habits that make you great in this game, like self-awareness, accountability, discipline, and resilience, are the same ones that carry you through life. That's playing the long game.

​

I work with families in the Bay Area and across the country, and I give team talks on the mental game and recruiting for teams and programs. If you're serious about the next step, book a free discovery call and let's see if we're a fit.
