How did working with the Perfect Game Foundation help you?
Working with The Perfect Game Foundation helped me get my first break in sports! Without Del’s assistance and use of networking, I would have never been given a chance to start with Monumental Sports. Even now, I still have Del’s continued support in helping me further my career in sports. I am so blessed to have been given this opportunity, and am thankful for organizations like The Perfect Game Foundation who have helped people like me achieve their goals in sports!

In His Words
"There is no substitute for Excellence – not even success. Success is tricky, perishable and often outside our control; the pursuit of success makes a poor cornerstone, especially for a whole personality. Excellence is dependable, lasting and largely an issue within our own control; pursuit of excellence, in and for itself, is the best of foundations,” The Heart of the Order, by Thomas Boswell (Doubleday, 1989).
