As a former college baseball coach and recruiter, I have seen many talented players get overlooked in the recruiting process because of common mistakes. But don't worry; I'm here to help! Here are the top five mistakes to avoid in the recruiting process. Sitting back & hoping to be found (not having a plan) - Don't wait for coaches to find you. Take control of your recruiting process by recruiting coaches and having a plan.  Starting too late - Don't wait to start the recruiting process. College coaches start recruiting early (as early as freshman year in some cases), so make sure you're on their radar. Depending on your travel team - While there are some good travel teams out there. They are becoming fewer and fewer, unfortunately. Going to a random tournament hoping to be seen when there aren't many college scouts (or any) doesn't work well. Targeting the wrong schools - Make sure you target schools that are a good fit for you academically, athletically, and geographically. Don't waste your time on schools that aren't a good match. Getting a "no" from a school and quitting - Don't give up if a school says no. Keep working hard and connecting with coaches. You never know when another opportunity might arise. Avoiding these five common mistakes can help you stand out in the recruiting process and increase your chances of playing college baseball.  If you have any questions or would like help through this recruiting process, set up a call with me below or apply for my Premier Baseball Recruiting Program.
