If you're 12 years old today, you could be playing in front of college coaches in just four years. âšľ I'm at the 17U PBR National Championships at LakePoint Sports, and this is the kind of environment many young players dream about.

But I want you to understand something:
You don't prepare for the job interview when you arrive. You prepare for it years before.

Don't just play games without thinking about where you're going.
Have a vision. Develop a plan. Prepare yourself.
Because when that opportunity comes, you want to be ready to crush the job interview.

Ever ask a young player who they're playing and get this answer:

“Who are we playing?” 🤔⚾

Coach Mark noticed something interesting at the 17U PBR National Championships at LakePoint in Emerson, Georgia.

Teams are coming from all over the country. College coaches are everywhere. The atmosphere is incredible.

But when he asks players who they're playing, many of them don't even know.

And honestly, that says something.

Knowing your opponent isn't just about scouting them. It's about being engaged in the game.

Pay attention. Know who you're facing. Understand the competition around you.

Because baseball isn't just about your individual performance. It's about competing, being prepared, and understanding the game.

After 20 years around baseball, Coach Mark still loves the game. And sometimes, the little things are worth paying attention to.

Want to know what college coaches are watching during batting practice? âšľ
It's not just home runs.
They're watching for:
• Bat speed
• Mechanics that work against velocity
• Consistent barrels
• Quality line drives
• The ability to use the middle of the field
And that's the big one.
Can you hit the ball where it's pitched?

Young hitters, stop worrying so much about hitting bombs right now. Build the swing that will work at the next level.

Get stronger. Develop your hands. Improve your mechanics.
Prepare for the pitcher you'll face tomorrow—not just the one you're facing today.

Young players, look around. âšľ This could be your future.
I'm at LakePoint Sports, surrounded by players and college coaches. Most of these players are here because they want to play college baseball.

If you're 10, 11, 12, or 13, ask yourself: What am I doing now to prepare for this?
Playing travel baseball is only part of it.

You have to develop yourself for the level you're trying to reach so that when college coaches are watching, you're the player they want.

Don't wait until you're here to start preparing.
Are you preparing for the next level right now?

The best way to prepare for the next level is to start before you get there. I'm at the PBR Futures Games watching some of the best young players in the country compete in front of hundreds of college coaches.

That's a great opportunity—but you don't want your first exposure to this level of competition to come at 17. That's why we're building Ambassadors Baseball.

We're forming 13U teams in multiple states for above-average players who want to start preparing early, play elite competition, and learn what it takes to get to the next level.

It's faith-based, and I'm excited about what we're building.
Don't wait to prepare.

Adversity is coming. Nobody is immune to it. Injuries. Grades. Relationships. Illness. Setbacks you never planned for.

The question isn't whether adversity will come.
The question is: **Will you let it beat you, or will you let it improve you?**

One of my clients is facing an entire year away from baseball because of an injury. That's a tough chapter.

But one chapter doesn't have to define the whole book.
You can't always choose what happens to you. You can choose how you respond.

Embrace it. Learn from it. Get stronger.

Two kids I coached when they were young. Now they're playing against each other in the Major Leagues. âšľ Cole Young with the Mariners. Sal Stewart with the Reds.
That's the dream.

But here's the message for every young player watching:
Don't give up on the dream.

Dreaming is easy. The work is what separates the dreamers from the players who actually give themselves a chance to make it. Those two kids had talent. They also put in the work.

A base hit isn't enough.
College coaches are watching what you do AFTER contact.

I was talking with a college coach about the hard 90. His standard? Under 5 seconds.
Then a strong left-handed hitter ripped a base hit to left. Great swing—but he was well over five seconds to first.

That's what coaches notice.
They want players who sprint out of the box, push the envelope, and play every ball like they can take the extra base.

Even when you make an out, you still have a job to do.

College coaches—be a pro. I've spent about 20 years around college coaches, and the best ones always understood that they represented something bigger than themselves.

At a recent PBR event, I heard college coaches wearing their university gear dropping F-bombs in the stands with kids and families sitting nearby.

That's not professional. I'm not talking about what happens behind closed doors. I'm talking about a public event where you're representing your university.

Players are watching. Parents are watching.
Be a professional. Represent your program the right way.
Do you agree?

Don't let a number hold you back. The 60-yard dash isn't perfect, but it does give coaches an indication of top-end speed.

When my son was 15, he ran a 7.5. I told him, "That's not going to get it done."

So he did something about it. After a year of working with a speed trainer, he dropped his 60 to 6.7—and that change helped open the door to Division I and professional baseball.

The lesson? Don't wait until recruiting starts to work on your weaknesses. If speed matters for your position, start developing it early.
