🎙️ Real Recruiting, Real Relationships

In this Significant Recruiting bonus episode, Matt Rogers sits down with Wade Wilson, Head Softball Coach at Texas Lutheran University and one of the most respected voices in Division III athletics. With a national championship and years of success behind him, Coach Wilson opens up about what really matters in the recruiting process—and what families often overlook.

This conversation dives deep into:

• Why Coach Wilson recruits like he’s adding a daughter to his family
• What he looks for in film and how he screens athletes with limited travel
• How a strong network and authentic connections shape his entire roster
• Why personal emails and persistence matter more than mass marketing
• His candid take on travel ball, summer burnout, and letting kids still be kids

If you’re a student-athlete or parent navigating the world of college recruiting, this episode is packed with raw, real, and refreshingly honest insights.
