Today's episode is all about the players.  With travel baseball starting back up, I feel compelled to give players some relevant tips on how to make a great first impression when the college coaches are allowed back to recruiting.  It is vitally important in the recruiting process.  As an added bonus, I am also throwing in 6 tips for parents as well.  So let's take inventory - Earbuds? Check.  Notebook? Check.  Pen? Check.  Ok...let's get after it!
