My Story
Brad Frick is entering into his second year as the head coach with the Florida State College at Jacksonville baseball program after serving as the FSCJ assistant coach in the past. Prior to FSCJ, Coach Frick spent four years at Florida Atlantic University, serving as an assistant coach in charge of hitters and infielders. During his span in Boca Raton, the Owls collected numerous team and individual honors. In 2010, the Owls finished 2nd in the Sun Belt Conference in fielding percentage, finishing the season ranked 34th nationally in that same category on their way to claiming a league championship and an appearance in the NCAA Gainesville [Fla.] Regional. The team also turned 65 double plays – wrapping the season ranked 15th nationally. In 2012, the Owls claimed their second Sun Belt title in three years. Some of Frick’s other duties included assisting with organizing team practices, in addition to coaching base runners and helping with recruiting. He was the FAU Baseball Camp director and handled all team travel and budgetary commitments. During his time at FAU, five infielders have been selected or signed free agent contracts in the Major League Baseball Draft: Travis Ozga (2009), Raymond Church and Nick DelGuidice (2011) and Kyle Newton (2012) and Mike Albaladejo (2012). Frick joined the FAU coaching staff in 2009 after serving as an assistant coach at Bethune-Cookman University during the 2008 season. The Wildcats had the second-best record in school history and won their 11th Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference (MEAC) championship. Bethune-Cookman's qualification to the 2008 NCAA regional tournament was Frick's third with the program. He was honored as a first team All-MEAC infielder at Bethune-Cookman as a player from 2003-04, helping the Wildcats win back-to-back league championships. A native of Vancouver, British Columbia, Frick remained in Florida to join the coaching staff at Daytona Beach Community College in 2005. It is a college he attended and earned all-conference recognition as a player prior to attending Bethune-Cookman. Frick's accomplishments were exceptional as the assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at Daytona Beach CC from 2005-07. The Falcons won three consecutive Mid-Florida Conference championships and also excelled in the classroom, posting a collective 3.0 or higher grade point average in each of those seasons. In 2007, Frick assisted in helping Daytona's student-athletes post a 3.49 team GPA, drawing national praise from the NJCAA as its "Academic Team of the Year." Frick's coaching experience also includes working with the nationally recognized Florida Collegiate Summer League in 2004 and 2005, serving as an assistant coach with the Daytona Beach Barracudas. Frick earned his bachelor's degree in physical education and recreation from Bethune-Cookman in December 2006. He has also completed his master's degree from the University in Trans-formative Leadership.
