Coach Payton
This week's Feature Friday is the newest member of our coaching staff! Payton is from Gilberts, Illinois, and graduated from Hampshire High School, where he competed in both baseball and cross country. He is currently entering his senior year at Wisconsin Lutheran College, where he continues his baseball career while pursuing degrees in Marketing and Sports Management, along with a minor in Digital Marketing.
Payton began training at ETS during winter break this past December and joined the coaching staff in May. Since then, he has enjoyed building relationships with athletes and helping them work toward their goals every day.
One of Paytonโs favorite parts of coaching is watching athletes push themselves, gain confidence, and see their hard work pay off. He is passionate about creating a positive environment where athletes can grow both on and off the field and is excited to continue helping them become the best versions of themselves.
