She is the heroine behind Derek Jeter&#8217;s success story on and off the pitch, and to this very day, his life after professional baseball.<\/p>\n<p>Derek Jeter has attributed his success as an athlete and as a person to his parents, Sanderson Charles and Dorothy Jeter. The former New York Yankees Shortstop knows that without the help of his parents, who have been by his side ever since he was in Westwood Little League in Kalamazoo, Michigan, none of his achievements would have been possible.<\/p>\n<p>Dorothy and her husband were thorough disciplinarians who applied the training they got while serving in the US Army in bringing up their children. According to multiple reports, when they were young, Derek and Sharlee signed an annual contract for their study habits, grades, curfew times, and the pledge to abstain from drugs and alcohol.<\/p>\n<p>Derek first told his mom about his interest to play professional baseball when he was just five years old. But with his parents&#8217; strictness, he knew the only way to the top of his dreams, was to get his behaviors right with his parents. Dorothy has continued to receive praise and commendation for her contributions toward her son&#8217;s achievements. She is his biggest fan who attended all his games from when he was in the Little League<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Where did Derek Jeter&#8217;s Mom Work?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CcTRwmOu3qy\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
