“Learning how to train to maximize the potential in yourself is a key component to being successful in any area of life. I am so thankful for the opportunities I have had to coach baseball and help young athletes develop their skills. It is such a joy to see them progress and reach their pitching goals. I believe that learning how to train effectively is a key component to success in any area of life. As a pro athlete myself, I know that there is more to life than just the time spent on the field competing. It takes countless hours of preparation and dedication. My goal through Narrow Path Sports is to walk alongside each athlete as they traverse down that path. My faith has always been my guide, and I am so grateful for the chance to share that with others through baseball coaching. Thank you!” – JJ Hoover
