Salomon comes to us from the I Love Baseball program where he trained for three years. He is one of our first graduates from that program and is one of the most talented, motivated, and capable student athletes to go through the ILB program. We have seen this through his leadership, dedication on the practice field, and excellence in the classroom. For this reason we were not surprised, but very excited, when Salomon was accepted last year into medical school. Currently Salomon is involved in campus ministry and playing on the baseball team three days a week. He is doing very well in university and scoring high in his academic studies.
Professional Goal
Salomon’s primary goal is to complete his studies and become a doctor, specializing in sports medicine and pediatrics, so that he will be able to help his family, his community, and his country.
