The We Fam Organization invited me to cover there baseball clinic at Allstars Sportsplex in Altamonte Springs Florida with coaches Jahmon Taylor and Rickie Weeks Sr. This was from 10:30-12:30 as Mr. Weeks spoke to all of their players before the practice started. They help out everyone in all age ranges to become the best athletes and baseball players now. It gets them ready when showing their talent in front of a scout or college recruit. The Weeks family does a fantastic job of giving out important techniques, instructions and motivation to their players which will have them gain more confidence.
Coach Jahmon Taylor and Rickie Weeks Sr had them do warm up runs, ladder drills to start of with. Then they went into infield drills, back hand drills, making sure to have good footwork, throwing it to first base, getting to the ball, hustling and helping out teammates. Last all their players were practicing the hitting, taking swings, Taylor and Weeks made sure they were using the right follow thru when swinging a bat. These players are committed to learning, trying to get better as an athlete and become a leader/role model for everyone. It's all about being focused, having the right mindset and believing in yourself at all times.
