Life Lessons in Baseball

As an LDS baseball player, I learned a lot of life lessons during my playing days, and now during my coaching experience. I experienced the physical trials of the sport, as well as the temporal and moral temptations. This blog is aimed towards all baseball players, parents, fans of the game, and anyone in need of spiritual help. My goal is to share my personal experiences and to help draw life lessons from the sport we love so much.
