  • Episode 14 ANTOINE WATTS, Founder of Sluggers Baseball Club

    Antoine discuses the ins and outs of his program. You can tell by his programs description that he means business.

    PROGRAM

    Our program provides opportunities to compete in practice and select tournaments throughout the year, but our focus remains on player development, because at all levels development is key.  Part of development is experiencing adversity and responding accordingly.  Our players will receive professional instruction and will be taught the fundamentals of the game in a highly structured and competitive environment.

    WHAT WE DO

    We don't play games to just play and stay busy.  Our objective is to prepare the athlete to compete at the High School and College level.  The greatest thing the game teaches you is how to deal with adversity and distracting emotions while continuing to pursue your goals and dreams.
