My parents, Art and Martha Retzlaff, attended nearly every game I ever played from little league through college. When I think of inspiration, I think of them. My Little League and Babe Ruth coach Bill Miller taught me the fundamentals of the game. I’m also very grateful for my high school and college coaches Mike Clopton, Jack Dunn and Kelly Smith.They taught me how to prepare mentally for every situation that could possibly arise during a game.
