Leadership Experience

New Jersey StoneCrabs

During the Summer of 2009 I was privileged enough to be a part of the New Jersey StoneCrabs summer baseball program as an Assistant Coach. This team is loosely affiliated with The Montclair Kimberley Academy High School, yet draws in players from around the Essex County area in New Jersey. I was mostly involved with working with our infielders and hitters, yet was extremely close with the entire team. We ended up going to the State Playoffs for the Connie Mack Summer Baseball League before being eliminated during the first weekend.

I learned a great deal during the few months that I was with this team. I worked along side the head coach Larry Canales not only with the coaching activities but also with the paper work aspect of the team. We had to make sure that we had all of our expenses taken care of based on the money that we received from the players on the team. Neither of us were payed for coaching, yet we got a great deal of experience in numerous aspects of not only the coaching world, but also the business aspect of sports as well.
