Your best recruiting-video clips should be first.
Not after the intro.
Not after the music.
Not after 90 seconds of average plays.
Coaches are evaluating you, not your editing skills.
Show them immediately why they should keep watching.
Recruiting video rule #1:
Make it obvious which athlete the coach should watch.
In soccer, football, basketball, volleyball and similar sports, use an arrow or circle BEFORE the clip starts.
Never make the coach hunt for you.
A camp invitation is not the same thing as being recruited.
Some invitations are personal. Some go to thousands of athletes.
Before spending money on travel and camps, ask yourself:
Does this school fit me—and has the coaching staff shown genuine interest?
Don’t assume Division I is automatically the best outcome.
Ask a better question:
Where can I get a great education, enjoy the school AND have a real opportunity to play?
The logo on the jersey matters a lot less when you’re sitting on the bench.

I always enjoy dedicating a good amount of time on tee work to maintain strong fundamentals. This is my first week practicing at BarryU. I’m beyond grateful for the amazing facilities/equipment available here! I’ve attached some videos tee work which are an example of the style of individual practice I’ve been implementing the past week.

I really enjoy these one/two handed drills with the flat bat to maintain a consistent bat path, focusing on staying inside the baseball and letting my lower body provide the power in my swing. Sometimes I can get slightly pushy with my hands, causing rollovers. I am further developing muscle memory for staying inside the ball, hinged, and finishing without rolling my wrists.
I will always view tee work as my favorite/most effective/most essential kind of practice when it comes to developing/maintaining swing mechanics.
YOU CAN LEARN A LOT ABOUT A BASEBALL PLAYER WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE GETS THE BIG HIT.
Don’t watch the kid rounding the bases.
WATCH THE DUGOUT.
Who’s over the fence losing his mind?
Who’s halfway to home plate before the ball even lands?
Who’s screaming for the guy who took his spot in the lineup?
And who’s sitting on the bench pissed off…
because he wishes it was him?
That right there?
THAT’S CULTURE.
Everybody’s a great teammate when they’re 3 for 4.
Show me the kid who went hitless…
lost his starting job…
and is STILL the first dude out of the dugout when his teammate goes deep.
THAT’S THE GUY I WANT.
Because talent can make a lineup dangerous.
But when 20 guys genuinely give a damn about the other 19?
NOW YOU’VE GOT A BASEBALL TEAM.

One of the best questions when choosing a college:
Would I still want to attend this school if I couldn’t play my sport?
Injuries happen. Coaches leave. Rosters change.
Choose a college, not just a team.
