Question
It was my last day of practice since the update.

The season is endind on April 20, and there won't be more practice until september.

I want to keep my practice but I don't know what to do, maybe I will have to go back in the Dominican.

Also my parents want me to move from Jacksonville to Tampa, because there I have my cousin and the city is way much better than this one.

What do you think? I don't want that my college tranfering affects my future baseball training and season in september. You know my target is reach my goal and Im sure if I do my best I will get in the minor league very soon.

Answer
Emanuele:  What do the other players at this JC do over the summer?  Where do they play?  Does the coach there have anywhere for you to play?  Are you enrolled in school, so you could also go to summer school?  

Even if you move to Tampa, you should have no trouble locating a team and league to play in.  If you are wanting to play with this school, you might want to stay and do what they do, or whatever the coach can set up for you.

Certainly a lot to think about.  If your plan is to play at the school you are currently at in September, I would talk with the coach there and see what he can do about locating a playing situation for the summer.

Let me know what you find out.  You have 4 full months to work on your mental game skills.  That will be enough time to make a difference in September.

Yours in baseball,
