Coach Troy’s reason for starting NSA is to help athletes reach any goal they’ve set for themselves whether that includes college baseball, major league baseball, etc. He strongly believes that everyone has the potential to do great things and he aspires to help develop that gift in each and every player.

15U & 16U Assistant Coach

Coach KC was on his high school varsity baseball team all four years. After high school, he went to Alabama State University and played in collegiate leagues throughout the years. When his baseball career came to a halt, his love for playing turned into a passion to teach.

As a coach, Coach KC wants to instill the mindset that consistent effort goes a long way in not only baseball but also life itself. His goal is to help them understand that winning isn’t everything even though it feels good; more importantly when you work hard, the hard work pays off. All in all, he aims to aid these young men and athletes in growing mentally, physically and spiritually with everything they do.

17U Head Coach

Coach Andre has pursued baseball as a high-level athlete and was scouted to the Florida State League out of high school as an outfielder. After leaving the game, he began a career in coaching which included women’s softball, co-ed softball, and men’s baseball.

As a coach for NSA since 2019, Coach Andre’s goal has been to create a culture of competing against the fundamentals and not against the individual players of the game. He believes baseball is about inches and seconds & learning to enjoy the process of becoming great. With his platform and experience, he wants to teach young athletes to become men of valor, integrity and how to respect the game on and off the field. Coach Andre believes in doing things the right way by providing tools of dedication, commitment, accountability and discipline.

“At NSA, we never lose. We either win or we learn.”
