A lot of these people that play baseball, it wasn’t their true passion. They were pretty good at it, and then they ran with it, and started to love it even more. And then. you might even hate it, and then you start to love it even more.
For me, it’s a love-hate relationship. I love it, and I hate it at the same time. So giving back to kids and teaching them the way to get better, is fun for me. They all look at it in this perfect lens. And I look at from the lens is that it is like a black hole. Once you get in the black hole, you might never get out.
We got sucked into the black hole, and now we’re just in there. I don’t know if we’re going to make it out, but we’re in it. Might as well keep going. Might as well keep teaching, and keep learning, and keep getting better, even at 35 years old.
Seth Blair, my partner in Soul Throwers, says, “If we can throw 95 until we’re 42, we’ll help a million kids.” That’s the goal. It’s a lot of fun.

“We take our own approach when it comes to finding the path for you. We start with a full body assessment and then determine your body’s capacity. We find ways to go back to the basics and find a way to turn the brain off and just play. We have more of a holistic approach compared to the industry. Our favorite thing is to throw gas and win on the mound and mold players to do the same thing.
“We’ve helped hundreds of players gain velocity, get rid of anxiety, create confidence they never thought they would have, look at baseball in a different lens, and much much more. We are trying to help people gain perspective on what they are trying to accomplish. We are just helping shape real humans that want to keep playing baseball.”
