027 - How to Tick Off Coaches & Scouts


Listen Later

You might have talent—but talent won’t save you if you're making these mistakes.

You need to know what coaches and scouts are really looking for. Baseball is a game of details. And if you're missing these ones, you’re in trouble.

In this episode, I break down 4 red flags that coaches and scouts hate seeing from players. These aren't the obvious ones. These are the small habits and behaviors that quietly scream, “Not ready.”

🚩 Phones & Earbuds During Warmups

🚩 Over-Reliance on Mom & Dad

🚩 Drip Without a Grip

🚩 False Coachability (Knowing But Not Applying)

PLUS why they matter from a brain-science 🧠 perspective, and what you can do about it.

If you’re serious about getting recruited, earning playing time and becoming a complete player, this is the episode you can’t afford to skip.
