I've known Justin since he was about 14. I have worked with him via my website as well as a number of times in person. A VERY good student, i.e., very focused, willing to listen, highly motivated to improve, and works at it in smart ways.

"Very focused". I saw this the first time I worked him in person. Prior to actually hitting, he did a dynamic warm-up routine with the kind of seriousness, focus, and precision that you almost never see from athletes. I said to myself, "this guy's gonna be fun to work with!!"
Though not a big guy, he definitely was [and is] a guy who you know has the intent to swing hard. I worked with him over these yrs. to develop slightly more precision of movement and he has worked at this well I think.
Anyone who knows me knows that I'm a pretty tough grader as regards assessing swings. Justin has indeed created some damn good swings and has very good potential to keep building upon this.
I know he has had some setbacks in the last couple of yrs., but I'll emphatically say that Justin is THE kind of athlete that you want. He's a model citizen as regards doing what he needs to do to develop his true baseball potential.
If I were a college coach, and knowing what I know about Justin, his mindset of working hard and smart and his demonstrated athletic performance and potential are exactly what I am looking for and hoping for.
