Jimmy McDermott: Skating into the Batters Box

Jimmy McDermott lived an interesting high school career.  He stared in two sports while playing at Wahlert Catholic High School.  He was a two sport star in two sports that not too many people prep in.  Jimmy was playing high level travel hockey while doing online learning while at Wahlert.  To be able to play baseball, Jimmy needed to attend school at Wahlert once a week.  Jimmy played in the same league as the folded Dubuque Thunderbirds.  Jimmy traveled all over the country playing hockey, while waiting for the weather to turn warm for him to star on the baseball field.  Jimmy ranks as one of WCHS top players and that led him to get many offers to be a two sport college player.  Jimmy is still playing both hockey and baseball at the college level.  This is a great story on being a multisport athlete and how to thrive playing both in college.  Find Us On Social Media:  Facebook: Dubuque Area Baseball Podcast  Twitter: @CoachManeman  Instagram: Dubuque Area Baseball Podcast
