As the parent of two sons who went on to play baseball in college as well as a former head baseball coach at the NCAA level, I want to share alternatives with parents that will allow their children to avoid the anxiety and stress that many face within the overstructured and overorganized world of travel baseball. The hamster wheel of travel ball is a business model and not a baseball development model. For kids, baseball should be all about one thing—having fun! We play it as kids, watch and listen to it as adults, and pass down our love of it through generations.

Instead of out-drafting, out-signing, and out-trading their rivals, baseball's best minds have turned to out-developing opponents, gaining greater edges than ever by perfecting prospects and eking extra runs out of older athletes who were once written off. Lindbergh and Sawchik take us inside the transformation of former fringe hitters into home-run kings, show how washed-up pitchers have emerged as aces, and document how coaching and scouting are being turned upside down. The MVP Machine charts the future of a sport and offers a lesson that goes beyond baseball.

In this stunning audiobook, Malcolm Gladwell takes us on an intellectual journey through the world of "outliers" - the best and the brightest, the most famous, and the most successful. He asks the question: What makes high-achievers different? His answer is that we pay too much attention to what successful people are like, and too little attention to where they are from: That is, their culture, their family, their generation, and the idiosyncratic experiences of their upbringing.

Posnanski writes of major moments that created legends, and of forgotten moments almost lost to time. It's Willie Mays’s catch, Babe Ruth’s called shot, and Kirk Gibson’s limping home run; the slickest steals; the biggest bombs; and the most triumphant no-hitters. But these are also moments raw with the humanity of the game, the unheralded heroes, the mesmerizing mistakes drenched in pine tar, and every story, from the immortal to the obscure, is told from a unique perspective.

Publisher's summary
Level-up your long-term baseball strategy, and get recruited with insights and tips straight from college coaches! Do you have what it takes to become a top-level player at the college level? Are you looking to widen and create opportunities for yourself to get recruited? Are you willing to do whatever it takes to hone your capabilities and exceed your potential as a baseball player? If you said yes to these questions, then you're on the right path.
But you still have a long way to go.
It's easy to get overwhelmed in a sea of travel ball schedules, competition, triumphs, and failures before you get there. After all, the road toward getting recruited is a long and bumpy one. With that in mind, make sure you get your information right with The Recruiting Process: A Baseball Recruiting Guide for High School Players and Their Families by Walter Beede and Butch Baccala. Written to help student-athletes navigate through the entire process—long before you even try to get recruited—this guide serves to supplement your understanding of the different divisions you can play in, from the NCAA to JUCO to NAIA.
We know that navigating the recruitment process is extremely difficult. Therefore, with the help of both current and former NCAA, NAIA and JUCO coaches, buckle up and learn about:
- The Options: Take a deep dive into the expectations, levels of play, and different sets of recruiting rules for the NCAA, JUCO, and NAIA; be prepared and eligible to play in whichever division you choose
- The Decision Process: Study the three primary focal points to get a firm understanding and evaluation of your athletic ability, what type of academic transcript you will be presenting to an admissions office, and the motivation and determination you need to become part of a college baseball program
- The Coaches: Learn key insights and tips from famed NCAA D1 coaches, including Tim Corbin of Vanderbilt, Jay Johnson of Louisiana State University, and Scott Jackson of Liberty University

Coaches search for it. Parents dream of it. Fans love it. Athletes want it. The Playmaker on any sports team possesses it: an elusive, intangible quality combining anticipation, perception, and decision-making skills. This quality raises their game above the competition and allows them to pass when no one else can, anticipate the movement of opponents, and avoid costly mental mistakes, thus holding the team together. Using today's technology and tools, it is now possible to understand, assess, and train this sixth sense rather than just hope it magically appears.

To be a golfer is to tinker-with everything from equipment to grip to swing. But one thing most players don't give enough attention to is the mental game. Psychologists aren't a new phenomenon in golf, but Dr. Michael Lardon is a different breed of performance coach. Instead of sending his players into a losing battle against emotion, indecision, and fear on the golf course, he shows them how to organize their thoughts and use them for maximum performance.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 81
When Kevin Garnett shocked the world by announcing that he would not be attending college - as young basketball prodigies were expected to do - but instead would enter the 1995 NBA draft directly from high school, he blazed a trail for a generation of teenage basketball players to head straight for the pros. That trend would continue until the NBA instituted an age limit in 2005, requiring all players to attend college or another developmental program for at least one year.
