Most Exciting Sports Memory: Playing in the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona.

You've had a chance to play in two events that many young men dream of - the College World Series and the Olympics. Explain how these events affected your outlook on baseball and on life.

In retrospect, to represent my school and my country in competition is about the most meaningful thing I've done. The experience of sharing that feeling with a great group of teammates is something I will relate to anyone I coach.

Explain some of the differences between professional baseball in the U.S. and abroad.

Baseball is baseball all over the world. What made the most impact on me were the different cultures I experienced.

You've been very candid about injuries forcing you into coaching earlier than you wished. Has coaching been fulfilling for you so far? Why or why not?

Ooh that's a deep question. Let me first say that there is no doubt my career was affected by a lack of discipline, coaching, and health, and that left me with a void in my life for a long time. But I have found that I can create a path to success for young student-athletes to follow, and that has been very fulfilling so far.
