June Reminders

Most of your HS seasons are over.  It’s time to take advantage of summer ball.  Make sure you're putting in the time to contact your targeted coaches, and also make sure you’re doing all the right things in between games to stay healthy. Enjoy your summer season, have some fun, but stay focused.  There are a lot of distractions, so try to stay centered.

• You may have started your summer schedule, make sure you send it out to your targeted coaches.

• Remember, and this is important, If you are a Sophomore when you start the Summer season the coaches are recruiting you as if you are a Junior – and that’s the most important recruiting year to get on someone’s radar. The same holds true for Freshman and Juniors– once school is over, you are Sophomores and Seniors.

• If you recently received your PSAT or SAT scores, get them out to your target schools.

• Send out introduction emails to the targeted coaches that did not respond the first time.

• Freshman – remember you are being recruited as a Sophomore so get those introduction emails out to your targeted coaches – the sooner you get started the easier it will be down the road.

• Juniors and Seniors get some letters of recommendation out to coaches.

• Seniors ….let me know where you are attending.  If it is a walk on situation I will call the coach for you.

• Seniors ….if you got an extension or did not commit, you have little time to make a decision.  Even if you are going the JC route.

• Send a brief progress report to your targeted coaches letting them know how you’re doing.  They especially like to hear of your weaknesses and how you are working on them.

• June and July are showcase months. Be aware that mid June starts the NCAA contact period and coaches now have the time to see you and are on the recruiting circuit. Invite the coaches to see you at your games and events.

• There are some, but very few, unsigned senior showcases. If you are unsigned you should seek them out now and try to attend.  They are usually in August, but they fill up fast.

• Be sure to set up a workout schedule, besides your summer playing schedule, and get that info out to your targeted coaches as well. 

• Update your information with the NCAA, go to the link below

• As usual call or email me with updates or questions, and please send me your summer schedule.

• If you need any coaches info or if you need me to contact a coach on your behalf, let me know.

• You should join a social site where you can post your info and videos. It’s a link to send a coach so they can see you quickly. There are many free ones to use like YouTube. 

• To all ……IMPORTANT: remember, when you fill out the NCAA amateurism questionnaire, make sure you answer NO to question 1a. Only family members can aid you in the college process – regulations do not allow you to pay anyone to act as your agent, so it’s best to never list any service or individual as an advisor.

I know some of you are well on your way ... I hope I have had some impact on your success so far. You will continue to receive updates and info from me until your membership runs out - so please share it with those you think it may help. I am always here to help down the line no matter the direction you go

Yours in Baseball
