Intro
By Javair Gillett
I’d like to welcome you to my blog and to ShowcaseU. It’s really an honor for me to be involved with ShowcaseU. I had the pleasure of working with one of its founders, Chad Durbin. With the Tigers, Chad and I had many opportunities to talk about this website and its capabilities. I know how excited he and the rest of the group is about helping you reach your goals as an athlete. I’m truly excited! I am also certain that you will enjoy your experiences here. Make the most out of tools like ShowcaseU because up until now, there hasn’t been anything of this quality that exists. I can tell you one thing, I wish back when I was in High School this was available. It sure beats sending 100 letters out to schools with only a picture and maybe, if you were lucky, a VHS highlight tape!! While you are here I also hope that you take the time to learn a little bit too. This isn’t your H.S. History class! This is about Athletics! This is about Sports! This is about learning something you already love and thus, should effortlessly grab your attention!
If you are wondering what you will get through my blog on a regular basis…well, all I can say is that it’s going to surround itself around Athletic Development. It’s not just about applying it to baseball or a sport. Becoming a better athlete can help improve all aspects of your life. Whether it be your grades, your career path, your relationships, or your health, a better athlete will develop and improve both mind and body. I believe that my experiences playing sports and now working with the Detroit Tigers had and will continue to have a lifelong effect. I want to share some of my thoughts and only hope that you create the same rewarding experiences.
