In Episode 3 of the Elite Recruits Podcast, host Omar Almodovar sits down with Austin Page, a left-handed hitting catcher from Dallas, Texas, who recently made the jump to Division One baseball at Stephen F. Austin (SFA). Austin opens up about his transition from junior college to SFA, including meeting new head coach Coach Vanderberg and adjusting to life in a slower-paced town compared to Dallas. He shares valuable insights into overcoming adversity, the importance of staying focused despite setbacks, and the critical role of having positive reassurance during challenging times.
Austin reflects on his recruitment journey, emphasizing the significance of self-advocacy and the challenges of navigating the recruiting process both with and without support. He discusses the importance of patience, finding the right fit, and not getting caught up in the allure of big-name programs. Austin’s advice to aspiring players is clear: be your biggest advocate, embrace your journey, and never underestimate the power of marketing yourself on social media. Whether it’s in the cages or on the field, it’s all about making the most of every opportunity and staying true to your path.
