Testimonials

“While there are many factors integral to the success of Baseball in Canada, no one is more important than the quality of our country's athlete developmental programs.  As an accomplished athlete and experienced leader in athletic development programming, Michael Saunders and Saundo Athletics will have an immediate impact on skills and personal growth development.

Having achieved the ultimate in world athletic excellence as a 2008 Olympian and All-World Team selection and MVP on Canada’s 2013 World Baseball Classic Team, Michael has reached the pinnacle of athletic achievement and represented his country in a manner reflecting the highest ideals of success and integrity. While Michael’s professional baseball accomplishments speak for themselves, there are many personal characteristics which have allowed him to become an exceptional leader of people.  As a player, he possessed the unique ability to both command respect and at the same time impart passion and enthusiasm in the minds and hearts of those around him.  In making a seamless transition to coaching and player development, Michael has shown a natural affinity for leadership and embraced all aspects of the associated challenges.

In closing, I would like to express Baseball Canada’s appreciation for Michael Saunders commitment and accomplishments as a National Team player and continued care and contribution to the growth and development of the next generation of Canadian Baseball players.  Michael’s vision through Saundo Athletics will raise the standard for athletic programming excellence, while contributing immeasurably to the growth and realization of the talents and dreams of many outstanding young athletes.”
