Thank you
Hey man I just started catching my freshman season and im a sophomore now. Is there anything you would recommend i really focus on? I'm a little behind on the competition when it comes to defense.
Focus developing your receiving skills, then blocking then throwing. In that order.
Do you have an app ?
I do 🏆 Join me on Premier Athletes: premierathletes.app
How to reach for colleges being an international student?
Alex, how do you find out what positions are in demand at which schools?
In my recruiting program I reach out to school to see their needs.
Cabell midland for West Virginia (should be MHS)
Can you get more specific on the action a sophomore can take to get on a target schools radar. Fall winter and spring? Emails with videos start when? Thanks for the content!
My son played a 16u game at Dallas Baptist. Probably one of the nicest facilities we’ve seen.
Why do 50% of commits not make it through or past their freshman year ? New to this whole college recruitment game lol
Went from 150ms to 600ms, thanks!
lmao
😂😂
before the this my reaction time was 184ms after it was 210ms?
My son is a 2027 grad. What advice do you have for him with this new ruling That came out a few days ago. How will that affect him going to a 4-year school directly out of high school?
JUCO needs to be considered along with looking at D3 and D2 schools.
Hey Alex, I was wondering if you could make a video regarding the recent NCAA ruling about JUCO years not counting toward eligibility. Does this apply to baseball?
My son is a sophomore, two-way lefty. Doesn't light up a radar gun but has a high strike, low BB percentage. He's been told by former Major and current Minor league players he'll have "opportunities" at the next level. Gym rat, health nut, coaches love him, but way too modest and humble to promote himself. An admirable personality trait, not a baseball deficiency, could be his Achilles heel when it comes to those "opportunities". Thanks Alex for driving these points home in your videos.
It’s blessing a blessing to be humble and want to compete and get better. There is a right way to market yourself and still be humble. Thanks for sharing. Your son sounds like he has a bright future.
Hi everyone. Hope you watched Alex’s helpful recruiting video. As a family that is currently going through the college baseball recruiting process with Alex, I can say that enlisting the help of someone like Alex is essential. I would recommend him to anyone looking for an edge. Good luck! Mike
Thank you Mike!
Hi Alex, great video and advice as usual! Watch your videos all the time. Quick question...my son started posting to his social media last year and has gotten traction from it. Would you recommend starting a TH-cam channel as well with his training and highlight videos to share with college coaches?
Great question. Yes, having a youtube channel with easy to click links for college coaches to view is a good strategy. Not everyone is on social media so when we send video to coaches having an easy link to view is a plus.
@@RecruitingWithAlex Thank you!!
Who is your up recruit?
Another sleeper team is LA Tech man as a LSU fan they give us some trouble when we play them
For sure!
That's great stuff
Black flash is what you saying
Can you help me get recruited
Yes
Visit my website at www.premierathletes . co
I think emailing coaches is better though
Yes
Does NCSA work
Personally reach out to coaches
Those who punched their device to test it 👇
very good info
Glad it was helpful!
My reaction time is 168ms after this
Why do a lot of the recruits never show up? If LSU has 18 recruits does that mean they signed? Or the class of 25 signs next year?
Correct, most of the time it means they signed.
Hey coach currently I’m a sophomore in high school and I want to play at a ivy/T15 school (Stanford,UCLA etc). I have strong enough academics but in the area I live in academically the high schools are not strong so I elected to go to an online high school to strengthen my academics. Due to this I can’t play regular high school baseball. Do you have any tips to strengthen my athletic profile?
Go to my profile and we can set up a call.
Im a goalie in handball in PE(im not in the school team just in the class) and i beat my opponents 3-1 so this works
Doctors hate him! See how he quadrupled his reaction time with this one weird trick.
Hey Alex. i have watched your videos for a while and researched the recruiting process but i live in Canada and i was wondering if that makes it harder to get recruited, cause where a live we only have travel ball organizations, they are good though ( its called the PLB maybe you've heard of it)
With living in Canada playing on a travel team can possibly help because you would travel to the states.
@@RecruitingWithAlex ty that makes sense
I’ll sum it up for everyone. It depends. I hope that helps. PG has stat tracking you can upload videos. Colleges save time and money by looking at video. College camps? It depends. Most just do it to make some money. Recruiting sites? They can be helpful. Good news there are plenty of options but everyone is out to make a dollar in this industry so be careful.
I really enjoy your videos. Very insightful.
Glad to hear it!
I have been invited to showcase games and I’m from a small 1A school in the middle of no where that no one gets noticed from so I need to touch it out or go play at the show cases to get noticed?
Send your recruiting video to schools that could be a good fit for you athletically and academically. Then consider a camp or two to go too get directly in front of the coaches.
My son goes to a small private school. Not super competitive athletically, very strong academically. We kind of NEED travel baseball to get him games at a higher level, and develop. Unless there's a better way.
From a developmental purpose it may make sense but private lessons will likely be better unless you have a good coach. From a recruiting purpose it’s not a good route for most.
250ms * 4 is 1000ms
Divide it
Ok
@@_XPG_VENOMNITE_ he said 4 times, what a dumb guy
What is your recommendation on how often an email should be sent to a coach if you are not hearing anything back? Once a week, twice a month?
Every 2-4 weeks. After about 5 attempts move on.
Center grove indiana
My son is a LHP and plays catcher as a right handed thrower. Should I keep supporting his development in both positions?
How old is he?
@@RecruitingWithAlex 11
Have fun let him play when he get’s in high school they will likely not let him catch because of the liability. Enjoy it and have fun!
@@RecruitingWithAlex what are your thoughts on playing up a year or 2?
video pls
Seems to me that Transfer Portal has created a "Ready now" environment. Coaches don't have the luxury to develop young Highschool players. For most student athletes to keep the dream alive the best route is Juco to grow, mature and develop for a couple of years. Then enter Transfer Portal and gove it your last best shot!
UGA's current roster online chas 51 players on it, how?
Rule goes into effect next year.
My son plays for southeastern and they are the real deal.
Hey Alex. What’s the latest month I can commit to a school? Do you know the month of my senior year?
what would you say the grade requirements for the next level are?
We want to shoot for 3.0 GPA or higher. Ivy Leagues we want to be close to a 4.0 and 1350 SAT.
So it’s definitely max clark
Max clark is my nephew
As a former player, coach, and scout, how long do you think a baseball player should practice in a 5 day week? Right my schedule is 2 hours a day with an hour in the gym, is that enough to improve my skills for college ball?
We've seen some great players with good gpa's on our high school team go to JUCOs. What is the advantage going JUCO over Division III? What is the transfer portal? Thank you!
Eye of the tiger is so funny
