Jack Quinn

I am not in competition with anyone but myself. My goal is to improve myself continuously.

During the aau season, the Bandits had a lot of success at different levels. There were many individuals who stood out as having great seasons. No one better than our June Athlete of the Month Jack Quinn. In Jack’s first year as a Bandit his numbers were off the chart and he had a huge impact on his 11u team making playoffs. Jack has been a great addition to our program and we expect a bright future with him.

After two wins last year, the 11u Bandits were able to turn it around this year and make playoffs. The addition of Jack Quinn had a huge impact on the team’s success. On the season Jack hit .750 with 27 hits, 24 runs batted in, 28 runs and 30 stolen bases. His Coach, Antonio Tenaglia, said about Jack, “Jack Quinn earned a spot on my Bandits Team even though he was not a member the previous season. Fueled by a relentless drive to improve, he practiced tirelessly and developed his skills. Once on the team, Jack’s positive attitude and hard work quickly set him apart. He encouraged his teammates, led by example, and always gave his best effort. Daily I would hear stories about him practicing in his friends backyard all the things introduced at practice. Every practice he would showcase exactly what we needed from him and never stopped asking for ways to improve. By the end of the season, Jack had emerged as a true leader, inspiring his team to new heights with his dedication and spirit. As a coach, I could not be more proud of his hard work, and as a spectator and admirer of the game, he was sure fun to watch.”

Jack congrats on a great season, you truly deserve this award and we can’t wait to see what the future holds.

Thanks Coach Joyce
