Coaching philosophy:
It takes no talent to give 100% in what you do with a great attitude. Give me your best, be your best and I will help you become your best.

GEORGE MENDAZONA
Varsity Assistant Coach
George is recognized as one of the best athletes and baseball players that have come out of Central Oregon. He attended Ridgeview HS where he starred as a baseball, basketball and football player. He was player of the year in the conference in baseball and basketball and was All-State in all three sports (3x baseball, 2x basketball and 1x football)
After high school, George played baseball at Oregon State where he and his roommate Adley Ruschman powered the Beavers to the top. After four years at Oregon State he finished his playing career at Lubbock Christian. On the subject of coaching at Summit, George wrote:
"I want to give back to a community where I was raised. A community that did not have the resources available then that are now much more accessible to the kids in our area (personal training, high level club teams, private lessons). I believe you will see a jump in both skills and fundamentals working with me, as well as watching your athlete have plenty of fun (after all, it is a game!). It is my passion to help kids see their potential in sport and maximize that out on the field. I also aim to shape my athletes into respectful and responsible young kids. I am a believer in respect, character, and all the other traits that not only benefit kids on the field but also as people in our community. I hope to make an impact on all of the people I work with and I hope we will have plenty of fun in the years to come."
