Jaime's Story

My passion is baseball.

I discovered my passion of playing baseball growing up, playing catch, seeing my dad playing baseball, watching Yankees play on the TV, and playing with my friends and teammates on the baseball team. Playing catch with my friends increased my passion, and working hard showed that I am good. This is why I put in the extra work by playing catch, fielding, and going to the batting cages with my dad. My passion for the game gave me a chance to actually play on a team. The passion for the game is one of the reasons that kept me going and allowed me to work my way to be a starter.

Attending US Sports Nike Baseball Camps will help me pursue my passion of baseball because it can help me work on my skill, make me a better player, and will improve my career in baseball. This camp is somewhere for me to go and have fun playing the sport of baseball. I have never been to a baseball camp. My school team has just been added. It has helped me enjoy my school experience, and baseball is something I want to do in college and beyond. US Sports Nike Baseball Camps can help me do all those things and help me improve my school team and enjoy school.

A Note from Mr. Rose, Jaime's Coach

Jaime is a good candidate for US Sports Nike Baseball Camps because he is brave. I have never seen Jaime shy away from new experiences. It is due to this that I think Jaime would thrive at baseball camp. Being in an environment such as camp, where he will not know anyone, is exactly the type of daunting experience Jaime would face head on and receive great benefit from. Growing up and going to school in the South Bronx denies a diversity of experiences and acquaintances for students. Attending this camp would help expand Jaime's social horizons by allowing him to foster relationships with peers from backgrounds that are not present in the South Bronx. Jaime would also benefit greatly from this camp because he is a talented athlete with dreams of going to college and playing baseball. This would certainly help bring him closer to that goal.
