I was impressed with Andy the moment I first met him.  He has a passion and enthusiasm for the game which is truly contagious.  He is driven by a desire to teach his players to play the game the right way.  No one should be deceived by his youthful appearance.  That only leads me to think he will coach successfully for a very long time.

“Dave Rosene has been a good friend of mine for over a decade.  He gave me my first coaching job, at the JV level, when he led the program at St. Ignatius.  It was there that Dave coined the phrase baseball intense.

“That phrase has stuck with me from coaching jobs at Harlan Career Academy onto Kenwood Academy, where I currently serve as an assistant varsity coach.  I can honestly say that Dave has been both a mentor and go-to person through out my coaching career.  Often times I find myself consulting him, while watching a pro game for definitions of terms or clarification of strategy.

“Both Dave and Andy are motivated to develop players to their innate potential.  Both teach the fundamentals with patience and attention to detail.  I continue to learn from them both, as they continue to raise the bar and re-define the term baseball intense.
