Collin got off to a rocky start to his 9th grade year of baseball. He went straight from football into the baseball season (and having a broken arm to end football and start the baseball preseason). So once the season started he just wasn't hitting the ball clean nor was he fielding the ball and throwing as well as he should have been.
So Instead of letting that define him, he got to work! We worked on correcting his swing and he kept practicing both hitting and fielding. By the end of the season he had improved a good amount. He still has lots to learn and lots to improve on but we take it one step at a time!
Hope this video is an encouragement to others who don't start a season as well as they hoped for! Keep working!

[Music]
Colin oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh H
H go as y'all just saw I didn't have a
great start this season but I went and
worked coach Larry and just worked on
getting my hands down and really falling
through my swing and at third basee I
never really played that before but got
better throughout the season and just
remember to keep your head up cuz can't
just let how you start letting Define
you yeah just to kind of reiterate what
column was saying so look you guys may
have a rough start to a season it's okay
a rough beginning doesn't Define you
it's how you finish you keep persevering
keep learning keep being humble and
hungry that you're going to go willing
to practice and to learn and to get
better Colin was transitioning from
football to baseball so he'd kind of
been out of the season a little bit take
some time to warm up with his swing he's
really cutting up under the ball kind of
swinging up and so we were working on
getting him to swing More Level and he
actually swing down and kind of chopped
down that top down swing and he was
doing so much better versus kind of
those popups he' never played third so
kind of working at that position keep
practicing keep working to get better
and then he wind up playing some second
and some other things so anyways just
keep working guys keep practicing don't
let a rough start Define who you are and
Define your success whether it be in
life whether it be in sports just keep
working keep staying hungry keep getting
better we'll catch the next video
