2018 Amigo's Tournament Champions - Hayward, CA

In the weeks leading to the 10th Annual Amigo's Tournament in Hayward, CA things didn't look so promising. With "life" getting in the way between illnesses, work deadlines, business trips, family responsibilities and time not on our side I almost pulled the plug on attending the event. 

I never let my shortcomings show and through it all continued to have conversations with teammates about how are we going to prepare for what has become the biggest tournament that a select few know about. Over the years this event has attracted some of the greatest names our sport has today. Going into this tournament with a group of men ranging in age from 17 - 50 while only getting minimal work in to prepare made me realize that we would need to rely on our mix of experience and coaching to get us through the weekend healthy.

The stress of running a team is equal to that of any of these athletes performing to the best of their ability on the field. More goes into putting this event together than just putting on a uniform. I am simply Proud of what our team has to show for a weekend that could've easily gone a different direction.

Thank you Gentlemen 

and a Special Thank you to Our Support Team (Friends and Family)

Coach and Teammate,

Johnny Rodriguez
