The Reality of Baseball recruiting

What is the reality of Baseball recruiting...but, it also includes all sports.What a player and his family perceives to be the recruiting reality may be completely different for another. The normal assumption is that the bluechip top 200 prospect has the easiest time in recruiting and that the player with lower level college potential has the toughest road in the recruiting process...This to not necessarily true.While it is true that the top prospects have their choice of several scholarship offers, there are disappointments and problems as well. Even the top prospects do not get solid or any offers from their favorite school, at times. This may be due to that school not needing a player at that position, they may have signed several pitchers the previous year. The opposite happens as well. The top prospects favorite school makes him a very good offer and from the very start, the player verbally commits to that college and program and is very happy. The next player is called the mid-range player. He or she is a legitimate college prospect. Maybe the fit is at the DI level or an NAIA school or a good quality D2 program. Many mid-range players end up with a couple of scholarship offers. Maybe a mid to lower DI or DII, or an NAIA school and in some cases a junior college program or two. Mid-range athletes getting 15 or 20 offers are more often than not untrue. I have tried to figure a way to write this next portion for ease of understanding and I have somewhere along the way read this, do not remember from where but it was written well and I am passing it along as I could not say this any better...For the good high school player that is a marginal college prospect the reality of recruiting may be that he does not hear anything from a college coach until the mid point of his senior high school season. Many times this caliber of player will receive one scholarship offer from a local school or maybe he is invited to walk-on. The late period is the time that many of the NCAA DIII programs, the lower NAIA and some junior colleges really turn up the heat in their recruiting process. Many times the player is a Big fish in a small pond. His parents, peers and others all feel that he is a future professional baseball player and will be playing for the Yankee's within the year. Larger than "reality" opinions about their player's abilities and college baseball potential, that may not match the rest of the sports world's opinion.
What you need to know about College Baseball RecruitingThe NCAA allows each division 1college baseball program 11.78 scholarships and each division 2 program is allowed 9. NAIA colleges can offer a maximum of 12 scholarships. Not all college athletic scholarships are full ride like, for example, basketball. Most are equivalency sports like baseball. This basically means that a coach can divide his 12 scholarships between a larger number of players. This could mean 25 partial instead of 12 full ride scholarships. If you are a top player then a full ride baseball scholarship is always a possibility.So what is the "reality of recruiting?" It depends on the player's abilities, the needs of college programs that have seen him play. What type of summer program he has played in, the geographic location in which he lives and numerous other reasons. The reality of recruiting is that it is different for every player so whatever you hear from your friends may be unique to that particular situation for the college, player and his/her family.

Baseball, not just for the most talented athletes...

One exciting aspect of baseball is that a player with less ability can rise up and become a better player than the pure athlete. While this can be said of many sports, it is especially true in baseball. The reason is the large number of skills that are required for a player to become a complete ballplayer. There may be no substitute for speed, but in baseball speed alone will not get a player very far, or even off the bench for that matter.If you're a player, you must focus during practice. If you are working on fielding a backhand play, then work on the skill as if that's the play you're going to have to make for the league championship. You never know, it just might be! In addition to the work ethic you display at practice there are many skills that you can develop working by yourself at home. How good of a player do you want to be? Make sure your effort reflects the answer. The ability of a baseball player to rise above more talented athletes is not only attributed to his desire, but also to the coaching he has received. Repetition of a skill is essential for a player to become proficient in that skill. Repeating that skill improperly also ingrains a skill, unfortunately an incorrect one. Here is a story for you...and it's about me growing up.
When I started playing ball at age 9...boy, that was a long time ago. I was a 3 inning player, played right field and batted 9th in the lineup....My dad played major league ball so I was very aware even at that age what this meant. I remember coming home crying, telling my dad that I want to be a good baseball player...at age nine...funny. Anyway, he basically said - SON....here is what we need to do. Dads here is your chance to get some great quality time with your kids...take the time. All I can say after lots of playing catch, going to baseball games, watching it on tv, by age 11 I batted 3rd in the lineup and never hit under 400 again in my entire career all the way into my 20's...I played 3rd base and pitched (throwing 90 + mph)...to this day you still don't want to get into a snowball fight with me as I hit what I throw at...why, practice, practice, practice.
I LOVE THE GAME, AND IF YOU ARE SERIOUS ABOUT BECOMING A BETTER PLAYER AND WILLING TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES...YOU TO CAN GROW, BECOME BETTER AND RISE ABOVE THE MORE TALENTED PLAYERS. Sometimes talented athletes never reach their potential...why, because it's easy for them and they don't get out of their comfort zones. Coaches tend to cater to them also not pushing them. If you are talented, remember you can be passed by lesser talented players with big hearts of desire...Desire is the key to eveything in life

...looking at ankles?

College Football Recruiting...By Craig Smith Seatle Times staff reporter (I really like this guy as he knows what he is talking about so I have provided a copy of a report he wrote last year(Great insite on college recruiting) - it's a little humorous but it's reality in recruiting.Football prospects who signletters of intent today probably don't realize it, but recruiters check out their ankles. Recruiters also glance at prospectivelinemen's wrists, shoes and hands. Welcome to the world of college-football recruiting, an inexact science where 40-yardtimes, vertical jumps and bench presses aren't the only tools used to find the next great prospect. Where resourcefulrecruiters use a multitude of insider tricks to evaluate high-school talent and project their potential in three or four years.Like sizing up ankles and wrists. Greg Peterson, Washington State recruiting coordinator, said he looks for "guys with skinnyankles at the skill positions that demand speed — receiver, speed running back, defensive back. "Look at the Seahawks atthose positions," Peterson said. "They are skinny-ankled and high-calved." Skinny ankles aren't as important for linemen, butCougars offensive-line coach George Yarno said, "I prefer thin-ankled guys." Two reasons: These athletes tend to be more flexibleand also faster. The most obvious priority with offensive linemen is size. Recruiters want line prospects who either are big now orlook like they can grow and add weight. The starting offensive lines in the past two Apple Cups have averaged 303 ½ pounds."A lot of times, you have to project because they aren't physically developed," Yarno said. That's where tricks of the trade such aslooking at wrists come into play. Acquiring talent is the lifeblood of college football, and coaching jobs depend on doing it well."We look for all kinds of things, "Yarno said. So how do coaches decide which players to pursue? The top-tier of talent is easy to identify."They jump off the film at you," said Dick Baird, former Washington recruiting coordinator. Recent examples: Ferndale quarterbackJake Locker (Washington signee), Timberline running back Jonathan Stewart (Oregon), Bellevue lineman Stephen Schilling (Michigan)and O'Dea safety Taylor Mays (USC). USC and other elite programs get to make their choices from the talent stratosphere. Most NCAA Division I programs get only a couple "gotta-haves" and must rely on shrewd analysis, salesmanship and strong coaching tobuild competitive teams. "Recruiting is an educated guess at best," WSU coach Bill Doba has said. Recruiting involves projecting how17- and 18-year-olds will perform on the bigger stage, usually in key roles when they are 20 or 21.What does it take to become a Division I recruit?Programs seek many things: Speed, size (at many positions), strength, toughness, great hips (for explosiveness when hitting and forchanging direction), thin ankles (at some positions), academic ability to get into college and stay eligible, athletic intelligence, behaviorthat won't embarrass the university, competitiveness and a history of avoiding injuries. "You can love the game all you want, but if you'renot pieced together like a strong piece of leather, you fall apart," said Al Roberts, the former Washington assistant and Garfield HighSchool co-coach who just joined the staff of the NFL's St. Louis Rams. Former NFL scout Tony Razzano wrote in "Razzano: Secretsof an NFL Scout" that "the most important characteristic, not only in football but in all walks of life, is competitiveness." Baird said the Huskies staff used to ask these questions when making final decisions on which players to offer: — Does he have head-hunter toughness?— Is he willing to come early and stay late?— Is he dying to be a great player?— Does he have leadership qualities?Most of these are intangibles — essential but infinitely harder to measure than a 40-yard sprint time. That's why recruiters want to talkto as many people who know the prospect as possible. A boy who is rude to his parents and teachers could be more trouble than he is worth.Another intangible: How much does he like football? This is important because these high-school stars are almost guaranteed to receive morepunishment as freshmen than they deliver. Recruiters consider it essential to meet parents so they can understand a boy's background.Seeing the parents in person also can be useful in estimating how much bigger the player might grow. Some positional requirements are obvious.Quarterbacks must have strong and accurate arms and leadership skills. Receivers need to be able to concentrate and make difficult catches.Offensive tackles need long arms to keep defensive ends away from quarterbacks. Recruiting is where potential trumps performance. High-schoolstats don't mean much unless there is a "degree of difficulty" attached, such as rushing for 100 yards in a playoff game against a good defense.Recruiters try to avoid what is called "the danger of falling in love with highlight film." The same can be said for paying too much attention to playerrankings on recruiting Web sites. Performances at combines, where players perform physical tests such as the 40-yard dash, change-of-directiondrills and the bench press, seem to heavily influence Web site rankings. "Excuse me, but I think hitting is a big part of the game," Baird said.Roberts said one curious thing about recruiting is that evaluators get a much better look on film of players who perform in the middle of the field.Wide receivers and defensive backs don't get as much camera time as linebackers, running backs and linemen. Speed is a universal requirement,but Greg Biggins of Scout.com says coaches are looking for "game speed." The ability to outrun opponents on the field in pads is more importantthan a sizzling clocking in the 40. A borderline prospect can improve his stock by attending a summer football camp on a campus where he mightlike to play. This way, coaches get a good look at him. It was at a WSU summer camp that Mkristo Bruce attracted the attention of thendefensive-ends coach Robb Akey. Result: A scholarship. Baird said the hardest position to project college success for is cornerback. He noted thatmany college cornerbacks were high-school safeties. "If a high-school team has a good cornerback, the opponents just throw away from him," Baird said. "If I'm a high-school coach, I'm putting my best defensive back at safety so other teams have to deal with him." "Kids don't grow up being a corner," he added. Baird said the positions where it is usually safest to project college success are guard, right tackleand defensive tackle. "You can't coach big," he said. After a class is signed, Web sites and media often are quick to give it a grade but Baird scoffsat this, knowing the real answer will emerge in three or four years. "It's like comparing kindergarten classes," he said. Craig Smith: csmith@seattletimes.com

Your college sports future depends on it...if you read anything in this blog - please read this.

What coaches want...shhhhh, its a secret...not really, but you would think it is. Do you want to be the type of player coaches want on their team? Coaches want more than just physical skill they want personalities conducive to a team environment. There are 5 key attitudes to avoid during your career in sports whether high school or college. If you notice you're guilty of any of them, now is the time to make adjustments so you can make a more positive impact on your team and your coach.I Can't - The "I can't" attitude gets old very fast. If you insist that you "can't" do something, why should your coach keep you on the team? Keep in mind the body does what the mind tells it to. So if you say to yourself, "I can't do this," how is your body ever going to follow through on the things you want it to?I Forgot - I forgot my shoes or I forgot about practice...Be responsible. You know when practices and games are scheduled. It's not as if these events are sprung on you at the last minute. Don't just rely on your parents to make sure you have everything you need. This is not their team, this is not their practice and this is not their season. It's yours.Too Much Talk - When your coach is talking, your focus needs to be on your coach. It is very rude and disrespectful not only to your coach, but to your entire team if you talk while your coach is talking. You may be wondering why the coach repeats the same thing over and over, but if you're paying attention and the coach knows his/her message is getting through, then they may not need to go over things again and again. Also, look your coach in the eye not at the stands, your parents, your girlfriend or boyfriend while he or she is talking...that is called respect and total focus...which your coach will notice.Don't Make Excuses - Get the job done and don't let excuses get in the way. The other team is playing on the same field as you. Don't blame these things for your bad performance. Instead of making excuses, focus all of your effort and energy on playing your best. It's tough to get the job done anyway, so don't waste any of your energy or focus on grumbling, when you need all your energy to make the plays that need to be made. Your excuse may be very valid...but it's an excuse no matter how you look at it...remember that.Why is He or She Playing? You may not always agree with your coach's decisions, but questioning his or her choices in front of your teammates does NOT help the team and its a sure gaurentee that you are on the road to being blackballed right off the team no matter what your talent may be...I have seen great talent get blocked because of attitude. It's important that everything you say and do helps every playeron the team do their best. With every action, you're either helping your team get closer to its goals or keeping it further away from its objective. If you have serious questions about your coach's decisions, you need to set up a time to talk to your coach individually. Coaches like team players with Positive attitudes. Do a self check on yourself and notice if you hear yourself saying any of the things mentioned above. If so, see how you can change and become a player coaches love to have on their team.Remember sometimes its the little things that add up to big things in life, the smallest tweak or the adjustment to your attitude can make a world of difference in yourself, your team and in your future...best advise I can give anyone, especially young athletes...COACH "G".

I need to tell you this story about 2 athletes, with a different outcome...

Yes...Coach "G" lives in quite the Football town. I have seen quite a lot in my years, but a couple of athletes which graduated the same year from 2 different high schools with a total different outcome - I thought this would be a good lesson for the student athlete who thinks they are better than they are and don't take it as serious as they should. 2 football towns 40 miles apart with 2 runningbacks *1 is the all-state leading yards per carry back in the state and the other is no.2 in the state. Both look to be heading for great places for their college career with very bright futures ahead of them. The 1st athlete gets a scholarship to Notre Dame...cannot get any better than that. The other because of off field issues and GRADES went to a obscure college in Texas and no $$$ and after a year or so was out of school. You see grades and off field actions can ruin your chances. There is a fine line of who gets recruited and WHY? Character, on and off the field will get noticed at this level very quickly so its time to get serious about what you want for your future. This story has been played out many tmes year after year but it happens again and again...don't be the no.2 athlete in this example. It is time to show what you are made out of, HS is just what it is HS...you can be the best in HS, but only a few can take it to the next level.
DO YOU HAVE IT IN YOU?
DARE TO BE GREAT!

Speed training for Football players...I feel the need for speed!

Football is not just about strength - in fact speed training for football might be just as important as traditional weight lifting...The highest ranked players are more likely to outperform their peers in tests like the 10 yard and 40 yards sprints than they are in the squat or bench press. Speed separates the outstanding from the very good.Here you go, here is my Coach's advise for speed and acceleration.It's true - genetics do play a part in how fast you can run. But don't let that discourage you...Everyone can get faster. Anyone can improve their speed off the mark and just a small improvement with training relates to a significant improvement on the field.1. You will need to increase your Strength - the more powerful your leg muscles are the more force they can apply to each ground contact. Power is a product of both strength and speed of contraction. If you make improvements in either of these components you WILL become a faster athlete.Improve both and you double the effects - and this it what speed training for football is essentially all about.Assuming strength training already contributes a significant amount to your schedule, lets look at the other side of the equation...2. Sprint training over short distances will help you do that. Short 10 yard/20 yard bursts is what I like to call them...get quick off the mark and power thru your motion when running and one of the drills that a lot of athletes really don't like the shuddle run...run to a tape mark, yard mark touch the line and sprint back.3. Improve Your Running MechanicsMost football players, in fact most sports men and women have never been taught correct sprinting form. (TALK TO YOUR HS TRACK COACH) for some pointers.All other things being equal, the more efficiently you can run, the faster you can run.There are basically two phases to sprinting - the acceleration phase and top speed phase. Remember acceleration is probably more important in speed training for football than top speed. Here are some pointers for good acceleration form...Drive off the balls of your feet never the toes or heels and never get caught flat footed, nothing can come from this that is good. The whole body should be leaning forward, not just from the waist. Strides are short and powerful, pushing off the ground. Pump the arms vigorously throwing the elbow back hard rather than forward keeping the the head still and square to the shoulders. After the first 10-15 yards, running mechanics change noticeably as you gain speed...Foot strikes should still be from the balls of the feet. There is still a slight forward lean from the ground but much less. Strides are longer and more relaxed. Don't try to push away from the ground. Arm action is still exaggerated but more relaxed. Head remains still.As part of a season long plan, speed training for football features heavily in late pre-season preparation and gradually increases over the whole of pre-season. It should also follow a period of base strength training for maximum results.Here is an example of how this works. I worked with this junior/senior during the summer and just before his senior season...for name sake we will call him BO. Bo had good speed, a solid 4.5 at 6'2 205 pounds. Not small enough for a scatback and not big enough for a fullback. Bo asked me to help him get quicker off the ball as you see a 4.5 runner is pretty quick once in the open field as it takes a 4.4 or faster to catch them. We set up road cones to simulate the holes in the line. We worked on his form as a running back, how he acclerated to the ball and to the hole. Over and over we worked...at times Bo would ask is this really working. When the season started Bo was soquick to the hole he had to wait for his linemen to punch the hole, Bo averaged 8.9 yards per carry...did it work?PRACTICE...PRACTICE...PRACTICE, I know you all heard this before from your coaches and your parents. It is notrocket science, but hard dedicated work...even after regular practice and especailly in the off season will pay off.

Basketball, Football recruiting and other sports...now what?

Show the college coach you are interested in their program by responding to anything they send you as quick as possible. If you receive something in the mail, or email send it back as soon as you can and also send an email to the coach expressing your interest. “take charge” of your recruiting process. How do you take charge of the recruiting process?
Make sure to contact all coaches that take the time to send you anything via mail or email. So you are a little nervous when communicating with college coaches....Get over it as your are not alone. Just about every recruit is experiencing the jitters over this but it's well worth the effort...take a deep breath and make that call or send the email. If you send an email - it is key that you proofread the email multiple times. Have your parents proofread it.
So...you have been told you are an Impact player...and you may have a chance to play at the next level. For all basketball players in their junior season this is a time to focus on your academics and improve your skills — this is the year that matters most.
RECRUITING TIP (Scholarships are earned, not just handed out). Ultimately, your performance on the court will determine whether or not you will play at the collegiate level. Never expect a scholarship. Always research the various scholarships. There are many scholarships out there which have different qualifications. Stick to what you do best. Grades and standardized test scores are an important part of the recruiting process as you can tell it must be important as I stressed it again. Keep yourself out of trouble. Coaches aren't interested in selfish individuals who create animosity on the team. College coaches often evaluate players with game film."AAU" is the biggest recruiting tool for college coaches!
Consider this - the high school athlete that is considering going after their dream at the next level...also, remember you are greatly going to help your parents out with financial obligations towards you education so make sure you sit down with your parents if you already have not done so and discuss your options, dreams and what you would like to do if all possible.
You may not get any offers even if you do everything you think you could have done...do you still want to continue on in college? Yes, there is an option for some of the sports like Football.................walk on. Call the the univeristy and the coach, email the coach and discuss your options.

College basketball recruiting enters halls of middle school

BY MICHELLE KAUFMAN mkaufman@MiamiHerald.com A warning to expectant mothers: Don't be surprised if college basketball coaches start asking for copies of your ultrasound films. Recruiting is getting that crazy.OK, maybe not that crazy, but the NCAA Legislative Council has lowered the grade-level age of ''recruitable'' boys' basketball prospects from ninth to seventh. The intent of the new rule, put into place last week, is to prevent overzealous college coaches from overstepping bounds and getting a leg up in the recruiting process as they solicit middle school students.By implementing the rule and getting younger players on the NCAA radar, the organization can now monitor and regulate college coaches' contacts and visits with seventh- and eighth-graders, as they do with high school students. It had become a concern because of the increasing exposure young players are getting through AAU youth tournaments and elite summer camps, which college coaches attend. ''The recruiting wars are so competitive that you are going to have schools start evaluating seventh-graders now because they're afraid other schools are doing it,'' said University of Miami coach Frank Haith. ``Most coaches have a ninth-grade list, and now they'll have an eighth-grade list and a seventh-grade list. That means sending more mailings, and letting them come on official visits. You won't see me ever doing that. I just don't believe I could tell if an eighth-grader will be ready to play in the ACC four years from now. How can you project that?''

How Much Does College Cost?

I read this great little report that was written back in April of 2008 by Kim Clark (www.usnews.com) and it does a great job of telling you like it is simply. A college degree is just like anything else. You can pay a lot or you can pay very little. And you don't always get what you pay for. A few hundred of the very top students and student-athletes around the country don't pay anything because they manage to win "full ride" scholarships each year. A few hundred more are admitted to the handful of colleges that don't charge any tuition though they still usually have to pay for their textbook and living costs).
About half of all college students get some sort of grant or scholarship to reduce their costs. But the size of the grant
is typically modest. The averages range from $2,200 apiece to community college students to $7,700 apiece to private university students...Great job Kim Clark.
After reading and thinking about this have to say that the cost of Higher education is almost out of control and making it almost impossible for anyone to go to college without taking out a 2nd or 3rd mortgage and with this economy...This is where COACHPOST1 can help, Sorting thru all the paperwork and getting your info to the coaches and colleges that might be interested in you playing for their sport teams. Whether it be Football, Basketball or tennis...anything you get to help you pay for the ever rising costs of college can help you tremendously. We also, are trying to
reach as many prospective student athletes as we can...as a rule we really do not help the BLUE CHIP Athletes as they really do not need much help, we are looking for the 1-2 step down athlete that can play college sports but needs a little help and direction. This is why we also do not charge very much for this service and we have lowered the price in this down economy because NO STUDENT SHOULD BE LEFT OUT BECAUSE OF LACK OF MONEY....$99, THAT'S IT.
Read more of the COACHPOST1 blog and if you like what you read...contact us (ME) COACH G at

The Myth...about recruiting the college athlete.

My son is so good..........Many high school athletes and parents still believe in the myth, "that if I am good enough they will find me". If you want to compete on the next level and you take that stance you are setting yourself up for huge disappointment in 99% of the cases. The 1% "Blue Chip" athlete has nothing to worry about. So what is a "Blue Chip" athlete? An exampe would be a distance runner who broke a state or national record. A football player who is a sophomore or a junior that the local, state, and national media pick up on. A basketball player who competes on the high school All American team...in other words you have to stand out in a huge way. EPOSURE is the name of the game if you are not a "Blue Chip" athlete and want to compete in college. There are many ways to get your name out there, but it will take a lot of time, hard work and consistency. Most of the Sports ahtletic recuiting services will all agree that the best thing you can do is start the process early. I am talking about starting as a freshman or sophomore, but if you have not as of yet and you are a junior or senior it just means you have to work a lot harder to get that EXPOSURE.
Here is what you can do right now, its no secret but some may want you believe that...If you decide to take on the challenge yourself here is a strategy that will give you an advantage over the competition. Get together a your top 25 list of colleges you would like to attend and call and or email each coach and let them know of your desires. You can call call a coach anytime you want, but college coaches are restricted by NCAA rules of when they can call you...confused? They will want more information on you, so its a good idea to have a player profile. If a coach is interested, at some point they will request a DVD if you play a team sport. Put together the best highlight DVD you can, because ultimately that is whats going to get the job done. One tip in putting together a DVD is keep any music light, NO RAP - talk with your high school coach as some schools have the technology to help you put together thathighlight DVD and or have a good relationship with an outside professional service in your town. COACHPOST1 can help you gain that EXPOSURE. More information on how email coachpost1@gmail.com
Hard work and dedicaton + consistency = EXPOSURE!
