I HAVE HAD THE SAME DONE TO ME ALSO, ALOT OF SCOUTS,COACHES,AND EVEN SOME OF MY SO-CALLED "FRIENDS" DOUBTED MY ABILITY TO GET DRAFTED AND MAKE IT TO THE "BIG LEAGUES". I HAVENT MADE IT TO THE SHOW YET BUT IT STILL REMAIN MY BIGGEST DREAM. OH YEAH I DID GET DRAFTED BY THE OAKLAND A'S IN THE 22ND ROUND. OF COURSE I SIGNED BUT SOME PERSONAL PROBLEMS THREW ME AND MY DREAM FOR A LOOP. TO MAKE A LONG STORY SHORT I WENT ON AHEAD AND PLAYED SOME J.C. BALL AND NOW IM ON MY WAY TO BETHANY COLLEGE THANKS TO THE COACHES TRAMMEL AND DINKLE. BASICALLY WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY IS THAT DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE SAY AND YOU DONT HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING TO NOBODY BUT YOURSELF. I REALLY WISH YOU ALL THE BEST LUCK AND I HOPE TO HEAR OR SEE THAT YOU ACCOMPLISHED YOUR GOALS.
I know you had a tough time and are an inspiration to those that have been told or led to the wrong advice.
I wish you well and I hope that I can get a chance also.
I know a little about Bethany and heard you worked with a great hitting coach in Coach Carv.
I heard through a Bethany player that he helps lots of guys not only with their swings, but finding professional clubs to play on.
I hope to call him someday.
Good luck in the pros!
