ABOUT ME:
JJ has lived in Cartersville his entire life. He played football and baseball in high school before starting his college baseball career at a Junior College in Alabama. From there, he went on to play at a 4 year university in Georgia, and then some time in independent baseball. Soon thereafter, JJ discovered his passion in coaching. He has just about trained every kid in Bartow County; over the years he has gained the trust of the community with the development of the youth athletes, both on and off the field. He has an old-school approach to his teachings and puts just as much emphasis on kids in the classroom as he does in the facility.
