1. Share your recruiting\u00a0story\u00a0and status<\/strong><\/p>\n

I wasn’t up to speed with the recruiting process until the middle of my junior year. My\u00a0dream has always been to play baseball at the collegiate level and to\u00a0stand out on\u00a0teams I play on. When I started playing with\u00a0Trosky Baseball in the summer entering my\u00a0senior year I began to realize how behind I was in the recruiting process when I realized\u00a0the majority of my teammates\u00a0were committed already. The reality of my current\u00a0position in the recruiting process\u00a0didn’t come easily to me because I had the mentality\u00a0that I had to go\u00a0to a D1 school.\u00a0With the advice and knowledge passed on from Coach\u00a0Ryan Thompson, I was able to sign on with SportsForce and dive into the recruiting\u00a0process head on. We did research and\u00a0selected\u00a0at least fifty different schools that fit my\u00a0interests.\u00a0After my first email campaign, I was amazed at how many schools\/coaches\u00a0were interested in me and how many\u00a0positive responses I\u00a0received. I followed the\u00a0instructions I\u00a0received from SportsForce and created dialogues with numerous coaches.\u00a0Eventually, I was able to showcase my skills in front of many of these coaches at\u00a0tournaments and showcases. After the first month or two, I\u00a0received my first offer and\u00a0soon after I\u00a0received 3 more. None of these schools were D1 colleges, but it\u00a0didn’t seem\u00a0to matter anymore. I realized the most\u00a0important thing was a good education followed\u00a0by a great degree. I found a school with a perfect social fit, location and baseball\u00a0program. I am confident that I will be able to stand out and be an impact player in their\u00a0program. I am thrilled that I committed before my senior season started because it is\u00a0extremely stressful not knowing where you are going after your senior year. I am now\u00a0able to completely\u00a0focus on my last year of\u00a0high school baseball and just have fun.<\/p>\n

2. What school are you going to, and why did you choose them?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I will be attending Chapman University. I chose Chapman\u00a0because of a\u00a0handful of\u00a0reasons. I like that it is a medium size student body so I\u00a0won’t have to walk around\u00a0campus and see the same faces every day. It is located an hour away from where I live\u00a0in Southern California so my family and friends can come watch me play whenever they\u00a0want, and it\u2019s a ten-minute\u00a0drive to the beach.\u00a0Chapman offers a fantastic education and\u00a0a variety of different degrees.\u00a0The baseball program is a top D3 program where I know I\u00a0will be able to excel and be coached by experienced coaches who know how to coach a\u00a0championship team.<\/p>\n

3. How did SportsForce help in the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

SportsForce started off helping me by giving me the truth to the reality of recruiting. We\u00a0then identified schools that would be the right fit for me academically and athletically.\u00a0SportsForce did an amazing job at helping me create custom emails to send to\u00a0coaches. SportsForce has a great staff that includes guys who were pro athletes and\u00a0collegiate coaches so they know what specifically\u00a0should and shouldn’t be said in an\u00a0email. SportsForce also really helped in the dialogue process with coaches. When I\u00a0didn’t know how to reply to a coach, I was always able to ask for help and I would\u00a0always receive an immediate response.<\/p>\n

4. What advice would you give to other players and parents with the recruiting\u00a0process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would say to start off with a quality highlight video that includes batting and your\u00a0position. Create dialogues with coaches as early as your sophomore and even\u00a0freshman year because it is never too early to start. Don’t be afraid to call coaches and\u00a0ask them where you currently stand with them in their recruiting process and how you\u00a0can proceed with them. Understand the realities of recruiting and keep an open mind to\u00a0any division of a school because you may fit a lot better in a school you may never\u00a0think you would go to. Go somewhere where you know you can play and not sit on\u00a0the bench for 2 or 3 years.<\/p>\n

5. How excited are you for your future in college?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u00a0couldn’t\u00a0be more excited to go to Chapman. The reality of my\u00a0commitment\u00a0hasn’t even set in yet. It still feels unreal. I\u00a0couldn’t be happier with my decision to commit there. I\u00a0found a college where I will be happy for the next 4 years.<\/p>\n

6. How much money do you anticipate your family saving in college expenses\u00a0because of you being recruited?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

D3 schools don’t offer athletic scholarships, but I received a 40,000 dollar grant and the\u00a0coach is helping me find other ways I can save money. On top of the 40,000, I expect to\u00a0save double that.<\/p>\n

7. Would you recommend SportsForce to any other student-athletes? Why?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would recommend SportsForce to any other athlete because recruiting today is entirely\u00a0different than it was 10 years ago. You can’t just be a star athlete on your high school\u00a0team or have a good weekend at a tournament and receive a college scholarship. You\u00a0have to go out of your way and contact as many schools as possible and SportsForce\u00a0makes sure you are able to successfully do this. They helped me receive opportunities I\u00a0wouldn’t have been able to receive\u00a0on my own. SportsForce is the way to go if you are\u00a0serious about playing\u00a0college athletics.<\/p>\n
