Nicholas's Story

My passion is Baseball.

I discovered this passion at a young age. I started playing sports at the age of two. My dad once told me I recited the line up for the New York Yankees once I was able to speak. Since then, baseball has always held a special place in my heart. Before I could walk I was in Yankee Stadium, attending almost every game with my mom. I experienced my first World Series in 2000. My father would work security for the series and I was able to attend the games. It's baseball that brings joy into my life. I was born to play the game of baseball.

Attending the Nike Baseball Camp will help me to take my game to the next level. Given the opportunity to train and meet with professional coaches will allow me to experience what it means to be a professional baseball player. Attending the Nike Baseball Camp will allow me to improve on my overall game. Making my weak points stronger, and my strong points even stronger. There is no such thing as putting too much work when you have a goal to achieve. Attending this camp will guide me to stay on the path, or create a better one for myself to be where I want to be as a baseball player.

The biggest obstacle I have faced is procrastination. If it something that I'm not interested it and I have to complete it, I may put it off as long as possible. Often times I can be very lazy. On occasion I will put off homework for a few hours when I come home from school. To avoid this, I stay after school in the library and do my homework. If I were to go home, I will put off doing my homework for as long as I can due to being able to options of other things to do. Staying after school, I know I will complete my work, and still have time to enjoy myself for the rest of the day.
