November 2024 Athletes of the Month

Clinton Lam

Satisfaction lies in the effort, not in the attainment. Full effort is the full victory           - Mahatma Gandhi

Since Clinton Lam walked in our doors two years ago it has been nothing but his best effort. Clinton has improved every day and is in the facility a few days a week working as hard as possible to be the best. Clinton participates all year long, with our bandit program and fall ball; it is clear he really loves the game and his passion is contagious. Congratulations to Clinton Lam, our November Athlete of the Month.

Last year Clinton Lam made one of our 9u Bandit teams. Since that day his presence in the facility has been daily. Last year, along with bandits, he attended pitching classes, did lessons, and worked during the fall fielding and hitting. Whatever Clinton has attended it was always with a smile and a willingness to learn. In the few encounters I have had with Clinton I have always seen a young boy who is listening to instruction and doing his best to make corrections. Francisco Martiniez, who coached Clinton last year and did 1-1 lessons with him said, “Clinton is a steadfast learner and very productive player. He is a competitor who only wants to get better as time goes on.” Tommy King and Mike Ceglie worked with Clinton this fall and said, “Clinton is intelligent and playful, two attributes every great baseball player has.” Onix Mercado, Clinton’s aau coach this year said, “Clinton is a hard worker, good teammate, and he is dedicated to baseball. He has a good attitude and comprehends the process that you need to go through to be good at anything you do. We are lucky to have him as a bandit player.”

We are very proud of Clinton and what he has done in such a short time since joining the Bandits program. We are excited for his future.
