Baseball with James Berry

My name is James Berry, I am a recent graduate of Roosevelt University. I have had the opportunity to play at various levels of collegiate baseball, including NCBA, NJCAA, NAIA, and NCAA Division II. I am a student of the game and in constant pursuit of learning more to help myself as well as others become better players. I have a strong work ethic, patience, and I am passionate about developing younger generations into confident and skillful ball players. Throughout my baseball career, I have learned under various different coaching strategies and styles which has all helped to shape my own approach to teaching/coaching. These have helped me learn effective ways to help motivate and support younger athletes. I enjoy focusing on teaching the correct fundamentals but also creating a positive and fun environment for people of all ages to learn and get better. My primary objective is to create better ballplayers in addition to creating good people. I was a varsity outfielder on Roosevelt’s baseball team. My dedication was recognized with honors such as Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) First Team All-Conference, GLIAC All-Tournament Team, and National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association (NCBWA) First Team All-Midwest, while helping lead my team in multiple offensive categories and setting school records.
