Daniel's Story

In 9th grade I entered high school and tried out for the baseball team and made it. Then I learned to love the sport of baseball. It is my favorite out of any sport, and I just like to play it at all times. For me, I like to take on challenges in the sport and get better.

This program will help me develop my skills. It will be a challenge at some points but most of all, it will also make me love the sport more.

A Note from Ms. Crawford, Daniel's Teacher

"I believe Daniel is an amazing candidate for Wishbone and Nike Baseball Camp because he is passionate, sets goals, and does not give up until he reaches those goals. I have seen this in my College Reading class as well as athletics. Daniel participates in many sports, yet his passion is baseball. Last year, the school baseball team did not win any games. I never once heard him say anything negative about the team or coach and this pushed him to try harder."

"I think Daniel will benefit from Nike Baseball Camp because the camp will help him develop the baseball skills he needs to improve. In addition, he will improve his communication and interpersonal skills."

Nike Baseball Camp

This camp was great! At the camp we had stations, most of them were to practice our hitting, and then we moved to defense where I went to pitching. Here, I learned different moves or ways to pick a runner. After that, we went to lunch and after lunch we did four stations that included more hitting, a semi game, and more defense. Overall, this camp was very good -- I had a great time! The other days we focused on our hitting, and I know that I'm going to be a better hitter and better at every position I play. Before I started this camp, I wasn't able to throw very far. Now, I can throw the baseball very far so I have a better arm than the one I had when I started. I recommend this camp to any baseball player that is just trying to improve and learn things that they didn't know or couldn't be taught on the baseball team they are involved with. This was a fun experience because all the people there were trying to help you and make you improve. I really enjoyed this camp and I hope to go to it again next year.

Excited for Nike Baseball Camp

I'm really excited for my Nike baseball camp this summer. Since for my school season for baseball has ended, I have learned more about the sport and have only grown more since last year. This year, I was a good player, but it was the defense that helped me most of the time since I'm a pitcher. I am really excited for this summer so I can learn new things in order to get better so for the next school season I can be better than I was this year.
