Meet Your Padres


Coach Lee

Favorite food: rib-eye steak

Favorite Tv Show: Scrubs

Favorite Song: Boys of Summer by Don Henley

Favorite thing to do, not including baseball: Hang w/the fam, riding bikes, reading books & just enjoying each other's company

What did you want to be before you grew up? Ballplayer

Favorite MLB team: St. Louis Cardinals

Favorite MLB player: Albert Pujols

Best part about being a padre? Sharing ideals & principles w/like-minded men whose sole purpose is to teach the game the right way while remaining focused on raising up responsible young men

What inspires you to coach? I'm continually inspired by a shared desire & passion for a game that so closely resembles life & all the lessons it provides, not only to our little 1's, but to us as coaches & as parents. Principles that we learn here apply to the entirety of our existence if we would just slow ourselves long enough to learn. I cherish the opportunity to mold men from these impressionable boys & would hope that they take more w/them away from this season than how to hit or throw a baseball.


What's the most important thing for padre players to learn from you? It's my prayer that these boys learn how to carry & handle themselves in the face of adversity that not only the game presents, but life does & will in all of our futures. We all long for success, but I would hope that proper perspective would give the true definition of what that is. We all need constant reminder's of what's true, important & ever-lasting in life, just as we pass thru it much akin to the passing innings of a ballgame.

Lee,

You are another great cog on this wheel that we call a coaching staff which plays a major role in it's success. I am glad to have you as a friend and as cohort. I look forward to learning great things from a coach like you and I look forward to the many years ahead. Keep up the good work on the field and off the field as well as in the cyber world. Good job on the website. Your enthusiasm in everything you do is refreshing and revered.
