In this episode, I share some valuable tips for athletes in the recruiting process and athletic development. I discuss the importance of foam rolling, drinking water, getting better sleep, studying film, and working on depth perception training. I also emphasize the benefits of visiting colleges and attending camps. The Scholarship Athlete Academy is recommended as a resource for athletes to gain knowledge and showcase their talents so you can get all or part of college paid for!

Takeaways:

Foam rolling is important for athletic development and can be done with a foam roller, tennis ball, or softball.

Drinking water is crucial for hydration and muscle recovery. Athletes should aim to drink half their body weight in ounces of water daily.

Getting better sleep is essential for healing and recovery. Athletes should aim for consistent sleep patterns and create a dark sleeping environment.

Studying film of opponents and oneself can help make better plays and understand strengths and weaknesses.

Working on depth perception through simple exercises like playing catch with one eye closed can improve performance in sports that involve catching.

Visiting colleges and attending camps can provide opportunities to showcase skills and connect with coaches.
