Sitting on the other side of the fence, on thing I’ve noticed is the recruiting machine can be noisy and feel complex.View quoted post on X
What showcase should I attend? Do I have to be on the “top team”? How will I get noticed? What if I’m ranked, does that guarantee recruitment? What if I’m not ranked, am I out of luck?
The truth is usually simpler (and harder) than people want to hear.
You need one person who will tell you the uncomfortable or comfortable truth, has a real track record across levels, and has your best interest in mind.
That person could be a org owner, coach, trainer, or even someone who works for one of the scouting/tournament companies.
The key is finding that person, trusting them and sticking with them - having doors opened and then PERFORMING when it matters!
Everything else is just noise that delays real outcomes.
I've been asked several times about my hitting style. It's a philosophy and mindset that was taught to me since age 11 by @BrianDempsey11. I'm grateful for everything you've taught me and the impact you've had on my development. Thank you, Coach.View quoted post on X
