How have you been impacted by HHCA?

HHCA has impacted me in so many ways including my growth in the classroom as well as on the baseball field. The countless mentors that have taught me throughout my 12 years here and the way they have touched my heart is something I will never forget.

What will you miss most about HHCA?

What I will miss most about HHCA is having meaningful conversations about my career path with my mentors and coaches. I will always remember coming into Trainer Brett's office and just talking life with him. I will also never forget coming to sit down in Coach Scarbro's office to talk baseball during my free period.

Is there an HHCA mentor, staff member or coach that has a particularly positive impact in your life? 

Coach Scarbro and Trainer Brett have both made positive impacts in my life. Coach Scarbro has taught me so many things within and outside of baseball. He has taught me how to overcome adversity and also how to use failure to my advantage. Trainer Brett has taught me so many things about the human body and what I eventually want to major in which is Athletic Training/Physical Therapy. Without Trainer Brett or Coach Scarbro, I wouldn't be the man I am today. Also, thank you to Coach Houpt for teaching me how to work hard.

"Enjoy the ride and enjoy your mentors and coaches company"
