Back to Long Drive Photo Gallery Nickname:
Legend I am originally from Roswell, New Mexico and now live in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Son of Ben and Deb Coats I am the second oldest of four children. I am a senior at New Mexico State University where I also played Division I baseball for the Aggies. I originally started going to school in Hobbs, New Mexico at College of the Southwest. I also played baseball for CSW and was named an Honorable Mention All-American in my last season with the Mustangs. Long Drive is kind of a spin off of baseball in some ways. The only thing I lived for while playing baseball was hitting home runs. So, you can see hitting it far is in my blood. The funny thing is I have only done Long Drive for about six months and already look like I have been doing it for years. Wining the local qualifier in Las Cruces back in June got me in a good spot for the District Championships held in Denver. I also won another local that got me into the District 7 Championships if I had some problems in Denver, but as expected I didnŐt. With drives of 425, 426, 432 and in the final round a drive of 428 got me to Mesquite. Where I plan on making some noise. I take sports very seriously and always prepare myself in everyway possible. I designed my personal workout myself, you can compare it to football two-a-days. No exceptions, I workout everyday in the gym and on the course. I am in the gym for, no less than, three hours a day and I hit over 300 balls a day. When I compete I will be the strongest and most prepared athlete long drive has ever seen. So, everyone get ready for the Legend, because I am here whether you like it or not. |
