All the Answers to the Test

When I was a senior in high school, I was drowning in the recruiting process.

I emailed every school I could find. I spent hours researching coaches, building lists, second-guessing every message I sent. I thought more effort meant better results. It didn't. It just meant more time burned on something I didn't understand.

Then my high school coach, who had been a recruiting coordinator at St. Joe's and a couple other D1 schools sat me down and gave me all the answers I was looking for.

All of a sudden, the recruiting process was super easy.

**The difference between you and the player who lands your dream school might just be knowledge.**

Anyone can play college baseball. Sometimes it depends on fit, stature, talent. There's a lot that goes into it. But at the end of the day, anyone can play college baseball.

The guy who knows how to put himself in front of the right coach, how to stay front of mind when that coach is looking at three other players, how to not waste months chasing dead ends. That kid has the edge.

You don't need more talent. You need to stop guessing.

**The recruiting process is a pain in the ass. Treat it like one.**

You don't want to spend a lot of time in the recruiting process. You want to spend time getting better at baseball. Getting stronger. Building the version of yourself that will actually get on the field in college and have opportunities to play after college.

That's the goal.

Every hour you burn trying to figure out what coaches want is an hour you could be in the cage or the weight room. The players who move fast through recruiting aren't smarter. They just have the playbook.

**Athora Lab is the playbook.**

I built Athora Lab because I needed it when I was 16 and it didn't exist. Everything I learned from five years of college baseball. Hundreds of teammates, thousands of contacts, coaches across every level. All of it.

The blog gives you everything. All the information. Stuff I spent way too much time piecing together on my own.

Instagram gives you snippets. Little pieces. Enough to get an idea of what's going on.

And if you want to move the needle fast, that's where the coaching and training comes in. I have a strength coach on staff, Dan Tecce, who works with small individual groups of players. His only job is to make you a more recruitable athlete by improving the metrics that show up on the field or at a showcase. Your 60-yard dash. Throwing velocity. The numbers coaches actually trust.

**You can spend time wastefully, or you can spend it wisely.**

The most valuable way to move the needle without burning too much of your time, money, or resources doesn't have to be complicated.

Someone gave me the answers to the test. That's why the recruiting process stopped being a grind and started being a checklist.

Athora Lab is that for you. All the answers. One place.
