FCS has been one of the biggest influences/impacts not just only on my baseball career but also on the person I have become today. Firstly I'd like to mention Clayton Crum who has been like a second father too me, I first met Clayton when I was 7 years old at a facility and he has always been the same type of coach/person for the last 11 years.

Clayton has always loved  to help develop, grow, and build not just baseball players but relationships as well. You need a guy who can tell you what your doing wrong with pitching but also the type of dude where you can sit down and talk about what's going on in your life and get the guidance you need, Clayton is your guy.

Secondly Eric Fisher, Eric and I have been working out together since I was a freshman in highschool, and this guy has taken me from 110 pounds soaking wet to 180 pounds in 3 years time, he always pushes me to be the best version of myself, even when I'm tired and I don't want to workout he finds a way to motivate me, not just through his words but through the Lords word as well, Eric and Clayton are very very alike in that way always talking about scripture and God and I think that's what makes FCS such a special place to train at, they have molded me into the man I am today and I am forever grateful for the team at FCS.

FCS feels like a family, the people in there and the coaches you work with want what's best for you. Everyday in there the mindset is what can I do to be better today. Better athletes and better people as well as better in our faith. It's not just a place to grow as an athlete it's a place where you can go to grow as a person and as a Christian. Working out there has taught me that there's more than just my identity as a baseball player but who I am as a person on and off the field. Coach Clayton and Coach Eric truly care about everyone they work with and do their very best everyday to make you better. FCS teaches consistency and pushing yourself to places you didn't think you could get to as long as you trust the process. I enjoy every second I spend in there and feel like being there has helped me grow in my faith, as a person and as a ballplayer.

FCS has been more than just a team for me—it’s been a family. Eric and Clayton built something special that pushed me to grow not just as a player, but as a person. The culture, the care, the standard… it all changed my mindset on and off the field. I owe a lot of who I am today to what you both created.

Coach Crum and Coach Eric were the first trainers I went to when I was getting back into baseball. They both help me tremendously grow as not only a baseball player but a young man. They showed me what hard work and dedication looked like and with that I was able to apply what I learned both on and off the field. I am forever thankful for both of them and without their guidance and continued support I wouldn't be in the position I'm blessed to be in!

Eric and Clayton at FCS have been more than just trainers-they've been true mentors and role models. Their faith in Christ and commitment to excellence have not only shaped me into a better golfer but also a stronger, more grounded person. Their impact on my life is immeasurable, and I'm forever grateful.

Eric and Clayton at FCS Sports Performance have had a huge impact on my life both in and out of the gym. They're not just elite trainers they're incredible men of faith who put Jesus first in everything they do. As a professional golfer, working with them has helped me keep my body healthy, strong, and ready to perform at the highest level. I'm grateful for their guidance, their friendship, and the way they lead by example.

Clayton and Eric have both been huge inspirations for me and motivational figures for me in my life, not just as an athlete but also as a human and Jesus follower. I know both of them will always have my back and be some of my biggest supporters in not only my athletic career but in anything I do. Grateful is an understatement!
