Rising UP Higher
My journey in the circle began with big dreams and total dedication, but it took a sharp turn in high school. A severe shoulder injury led to two surgeries that ultimately ended my playing career. For years, I stayed on the sidelines giving pitching lessons, but my heart remained in a place of emotional recovery, searching for a purpose beyond the game I had lost. About seven years ago, everything changed. I had a dream encounter with Jesus that began a season of true spiritual and emotional healing. He didn’t just restore my peace; He gave me a new calling. That encounter transformed my perspective from a loss of identity to a gain in ministry, showing me that my experience was meant to fuel the dreams of others. Today, I walk alongside athletes who carry those same big dreams. My mission is to help you navigate the mental and spiritual challenges of the game, ensuring you don’t just play better, but that you rise higher with the Lord at your side. Your story isn’t over when the scoreboard turns off—it’s just beginning.
