About the Author
José Rijo-Berger is president of Rijo Athletics in Woodinville, Washing- ton, a former professional baseball player with the New York Mets, and a current scout for the St. Louis Cardinals. In 1999 he pursued his dream to start a baseball and softball training facility which today serves thou- sands of students annually and produces more collegiate and professional ballplayers than any other program in the region.
At Rijo Athletics, José is blessed to work with the best staff in America. Their professionalism and commitment to kids are great examples for everyone involved in the sports community.
José lives in Woodinville with his wife, Rebecca, and children Nico, Nevaeh, Giana, and Teyo.
"We live in a culture that emphasizes winning, often at a cost. José Rijo- Berger emphasizes the importance of the journey. It's less about working toward the mere "win" on the scoreboard and more about what it takes for young athletes to become their best selves. It's a unique approach that only a pro ballplayer turned business owner, coach, dedicated father, and mentor can provide."
-Mary M. McCain
