  • Connor’s vision for Florida Gulfside Baseball Academy has been in the works for a very long time. If it wasn’t for all the obstacles in his career, he would not be where he was today. Through all his obstacles it only made him want to work harder and learn the game even more. As Connor met many different mentors and all kinds of leaders throughout his time playing, there was one common piece of advice all of them shared with him, to pay it forward. Connor always wanted to be successful himself, but also thrived on helping others find their own success as well. Connor’s high-level baseball ability and great leadership skills allow him to be a great coach, wise beyond his years. Connor’s vision has been to have the platform to train youth baseball players how to become young men not just on the field but off the field as well. Florida Gulfside Baseball Academy is a program that focuses on shaping the entire child. This is done through the development of the child’s baseball abilities, holding the child accountable through their academics, and teaching these children how to play the game the correct way.

    “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand” – Vince Lombardi

    Coach Perry really helped kickstart my recruitment process. Going into it, I had been talking to a few schools but nothing major. Coach Perry showed me how to talk to schools and how to get them interested in me. Coach Perry made sure that I was prepared for every situation throughout the recruiting process and constantly checked in to see how it was going. He really helped me to understand the ins and outs of the recruiting process and give me the best opportunity to succeed. - Present Day D1 player.

Your help in the recruiting process was absolutely amazing and I’m glad I was able to pick up and learn a lot of things about the process from you. I’m glad to have played under you and learned from you. Really grateful for your help with talking to college coaches and calling them on my behalf to facilitate opportunities for me as well.
