Nice note below from a former student of mine who is doing well at his new school in Colorado. I know I take for granted how we impact our players beyond just teaching them baseball. I teach so many kids, that sometimes I forget that our reach goes beyond the 30 minutes or hour you spend with them. Its a powerful position to be put in, anytime you have a chance to impact a player for a lifetime.
Justin,
David Murphy here.... you were a hitting instructor for my son Austin Murphy when he was in 6th and 7th grade when we lived in Chicago.
Austin now attends Cherry Creek High in Denver, CO and is 6'4 205 - he plays 1st base for the #2 ranked team in the state and #67 in US.
He has very fond memories of taking lessons with you and you were one of his first Baseball Coaches who really had an impact on him and instilled a
passion and work ethic for the game.
Attached is a picture of Austin and a HR he hit Vs Arapahoe High. His 3rd of the year...
Hope all is well with you and the White Sox!
Best regards,
-David Murphy
