If your commitment is anything less than a “10”, you WILL NOT hit your #goals . #commitment #ncaa

At the end of my junior season, we had just been knocked out of the regional, so we had made the NCAA tournament. It was the first time UWM had ever made the NCAA Tournament for baseball. I can remember being in the airport, Mitchell International, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. We're all waiting for our luggage and I remember our head coach, Jerry Augustine, having a conversation with one of our players who had all the talent in the world, but he just was making a lot of bad decisions off the field that was impacting his performance on the field. I remember him looking at my teammates and saying, next year I want you to literally follow Andy around and do whatever he does. And that's when I realized how committed I had become to getting better. This recommitment to myself, this recommitment to trying to reach my full potential is what allowed me to have two very successful years, which ultimately allowed me to sign a free agent contract with the Milwaukee Brewers.
