Elite College Coaches Give Recruiting Advice

Mike Fox, North Carolina Baseball
Q: Does the scholarship amount you offer a player predict his playing time?
A: When we meet with a young man and his family, there’s always two big elephants that walk in the room. And those are, “How much are we going to offer you and how soon can you play?” It’s a conversation about dollar amount and playing time. As important as both of those things are, you should understand that the two of those things…

We promote “balance” not only to keep your glove arm free to rotate your body around your core, but to keep your core upright.From the top of your front leg lift, you fire…See More

Marty Schupak posted a blog postIn Youth Baseball Outfielders Who hold The Ball Too Long
I've seen it happen in almost all sports even at the professional level. In hockey I've seen players holding the puck too long when they should either shoot at the net or pass the puck to another teammate. This happens a lot on power plays especially if the team has that rare two-man advantage. In basketball we see some point guards holding the ball too long when they should be trying to either penetrate the key or pass it off. Of course this will vary on each and every play. But when it is…See More
