Baseball is more than just a game to us!

The greatest weakness of society is its foundations, make no mistakes about it, since an unevenly balanced population will never remain utterly coalesced until it is allowed to have coequal rights and universal paticipation in the affairs of its environment,  not just only in the pastry making but in the placement of its fingers in numerous pies, instead of being forced to keeping its hands to itself.  Certainly from my point of view, it is all too plain to see that the international Community, as a whole, has failed to deliver what it said it would since its equal opportunity programme has not yet fulfilled its established principles and views in making those lacking the advantages of other members of society an accredited working force so that it can compete with the active working one. Indeed, iron does not mix with clay, especially when one is trying to build a lasting, strong wall of resistance against a not submissive to authority minority but we must understand that there is a right way of doing things, Nevertheless, commitment, dedication, time, resources, research and support are essential elements in achieving one's goals in life. Certainly not, an idea does not necessarily belongs to the person who conceive it but to the one who implements it and at a time when the world is blighted by a not cool to be clever attitude with a growing number of children failing to meet the academic requirement needed to be socially successful the need for stressing the moral values prescribed by society has never been so weighty. Nevertheless, it must be said that the game of baseball is doing all it can to help but it is not all about connecting to people's passion for the game alone we are concerned with, it is about bringing together everyone, young and old, under the same umbrella. Indeed. Figueras Baseball Academy was launched with that purpose in mind and also with the intention of giving a learning hand and advice to parents on how to get their offsprings enthusiastic about learning the game of baseball and preparing them for life outside the game. It is my view that parents ought to emphasise to their kids the importance of learning an interest in finding out about things, in order to stimulate their curiosity, and, of course, I would encourage parents to support their children's school by attending open days and building relationships with coaches, teachers and galvanise their kids to think about education in the long term. There is wisdom in taking an interest in what is going on in the world and I am delighted to offer a breath of fresh air to the world and its social issues by opening a window of learning to everyone. Absolutely, I care for the world and its social issues and I think that it would be selfish if I were to say that they had nothing to do with me just simply because they do not affect me; on the contrary, I think we should always help when there is a problem in the world and give The world's misery a well-needed touch of guidance. The aim of the academy is excellence for All and it will continue to build on achieving high moral principles and straightforwardness through its enterprise. That I can assure you of.
