Most of you have probably encountered someone pitching their recruiting service on Instagram or TikTok. I hate recruiting services. As a prospective college student athlete, you should immediately scroll past these videos because a recruiting service will be the biggest waste of money and time during your recruiting process, guaranteed!!

These services do 3 things to draw your attention, earn your trust, and ultimately make a sale.

If you’re a high school baseball player trying to play in college one day, here’s a reality check.

Most athletes don’t really think about the weight room at all.

Or at least in the RIGHT way. Not like, “If I get stronger, I’ll throw harder, hit harder, run faster, and stay healthier.” For a lot of athletes, lifting is just something they’re required to do. They show up because it’s mandatory, go through the motions, and leave. Box checked.

That’s a problem for college baseball players, but it’s an opportunity for ambitious high schoolers looking to replace them.

Most high school players think the advantage is some secret program, a perfect split, or the “best” exercises.

It’s not.

Stay tuned for next week’s newsletter. Get better everyday and embrace consistency.

Anyone can play college baseball if they do the right things.
