3 Recruiting Mistakes That Could Cost Your Son Opportunities
Most families don’t miss out on college baseball because of talent.
They miss out because of mistakes in the recruiting process.
After helping more than 200 players earn opportunities at the next level, these are the three biggest mistakes I see.
1. Thinking Talent Is Enough
Talent helps you get noticed, but it won’t get the job done on its own.
College coaches want players who communicate well, take initiative, and understand how recruiting works.
2. Ignoring the Development Calendar
The best players don’t just play year-round—they develop year-round.
The offseason is where strength, speed, and athleticism are built. In-season, the goal is to maintain those gains and stay healthy.
3. Leaving Recruiting Entirely Up to the Player
Players need ownership, but parents still play an important role.
Think of yourself as the bumpers in a bowling lane. You’re not throwing the ball for your son, but you are helping keep him on track.
The Bottom Line
Talent matters.
But talent without a plan often gets overlooked.
The families who have the most success are the ones who build a recruiting strategy together and take action before it’s too late.
