I aspire to build a career in sports analysis with a focus on Major League Baseball and the National Football League. My passion lies in delivering in-depth evaluations of players and roster construction, as well as identifying team needs, assessing fit, and breaking down how specific athletes align with an organization’s goals. I approach every analysis with a mindset rooted in excellence, not just participation. As Michael Jordan once said, “All I knew was that I never wanted to be average.” That quote captures the drive behind my work. I’m motivated to uncover the why behind performance trends, offering deeper insights into what’s fueling a player’s success or contributing to underperformance.
What sets me apart is my refusal to settle for surface-level commentary or average work. I believe true value comes from thorough, informed analysis that challenges conventional thinking. That mindset shapes my long-term goal of expanding into Padres-specific podcasting and video analysis, creating content that’s not only informative but stands out in a crowded sports media landscape.
