1. Introduction


My name is Jonathan LaPlante, I was born May 14, 1992 in Oswego, New York. I am currently a junior at the University of Southern Mississippi. My family currently lives in Madison, Mississippi. In my free time I play sports most commonly and also enjoy exercising. Once I begin my teaching career I would like to also coach either football or baseball. After I graduated high school I volunteered as a coach for the jv baseball team, and it's just something that I really enjoyed doing. Not only would I be able to teach students in a classroom but also on the field.

  1. Hi Jonathan,

    That's a big jump moving from NY to MS. Were you young when your family moved or was it later on? I think coaching would be another great way to work with and help kids. Technology can help a lot with analyzing pitches, swings, power, etc. Have you ever watched a MLB game with PitchFX? It analyzes every pitch for speed, location, and type. It's pretty cool.

  2. I moved a little less than 2 years ago so I was 19 when we moved. I have seen the PitchFX work it's pretty interesting. I like the sports science show where they analyze how hard a hit is off the bat or how hard someone can tackle someone in football.
