Our Mission
I created Prophet Performance to fulfill my passion for empowering others. My playing career was driven by my obsession with perfecting the craft, the support and guidance of many individuals, and by God’s grace. As a result of those factors, I had the strength to continually grow and reach new milestones. Now, guided by God's calling to lead and empower others, I am in a position to help athletes grow and achieve their goals. The same elements that drove my playing career form the foundation of this brand and my approach.
Throughout my time playing in the Pittsburgh Pirates organization and at the division 1 level, I’ve been exposed to many expert minds and valuable resources within the baseball world. Combining my own experience as a player and the insights I’ve gained through conversations with players, coaches, trainers, and others involved in the development of professional athletes, I have developed a deep understanding of what it takes for an athlete to reach their full potential. Given this, I am confident that the training programs I’ve developed will effectively help athletes reach their goals.
​
Our overall mission with our programs and influence on young athletes is to teach the importance of a routine and provide a framework for building one. Whether an athlete is trying to develop in the off-season or to perform at a high level during the season, it's the commitment to a good routine that is the key to achieving success rather than falling short of your goals.
