I went down to Racine today to see a kid from Ashland (my hometown) participate in a baseball showcase event for college recruiters. Johnny did an awesome job and I am very proud of him! I also needed to get out and do some practicing of my own, I gave out about 10 of my Baseball Buddha cards and talked to some of the parents about what I will be doing. It is a nerve racking experience walking up to people you do not know and talk about what you are doing, all of the people I talked to today were very receptive. This gives me hope that I will develop a good following and that people will check in from time to time to see what I am up too. I enjoyed watching all the High School kids participate and I especially liked watching the parents of these kids. I hope to write more about this process in the future. I would love to interview a few parents and have them explain what it feels like watching their child go through this recruiting process. I also worked with the new camera I purchased yesterday, need to figure out how to edit the recordings, or I will be posting me just driving or discussing my opinions on many topics…
It is all about building relationships. Good luck.
