Everyone obsesses over level in recruiting, but here's the truth: After you graduate, no one cares what level you played.
Employers love hiring former athletes. Period.
Not because they were D1, D2, or D3, but because being a college athlete proves you have discipline and work ethic.

I need a new #Wardrobe
A capsule wardrobe is 20-40 items, not counting underwear or gym gear. The 3-3-3 framework: pick 3 tops, 3 bottoms, 3 layers you already love. Wear only those 9 for a week. You'll find the gaps fast. #CapsuleWardrobe #MinimalistStyle sfstyles.myshopify.com/blogs…

Making his MLB debut hitting in the 3 hole for the Giants.
No Perfect Game Ranking.
Never Drafted.
Did not play D1 baseball.
Juco Bandit.
Incredible job by the scout that signed him Paul Faulk.
Players
If you are relentless and genuinely outworking the competition.
Believe in yourself.

Analytics have ruined baseball. Baseball needs .300 hitters chasing .400. It needs line drives to the gaps, singles turned into doubles with speed. It doesn't need everybody swinging for the fences and striking out 200 times. Give me a team full of high OBP/high contact guys
Like him or not, this is how you hit. This guy hit for average and power.
Teach this type of hitting again and the game will be better. It will be more exciting, it will be a much better offensive product.
Thank you Alex.

RT @nextlevelbb: Player A is better than Player B as high school seniors.
Player A signs at a D1 school.
Player B signs at a juco.

Tony Gwynn shares what it took to become one of the greatest hitters of all time and how to master the mental game.
"It took me a while to figure it out, but after about 4 or 5 years, I started to realize that this thing was more mental than it was physical."
He didn't figure it out alone.
"Those first 5 years, I had great conversations with a lot of great players. Pete Rose, Willie Stargell, Henry Aaron, Mike Schmidt. I had a chance to sit down and talk to 'em - pick their brain, find out how they do what they do."
The greats learn from the greats. They never stop learning. They never stop wanting to get better.
"After about 4 years, I started to realize that this is more mental than physical. So what I need to do is get an approach that I think will work and then just trust the approach. Trust what you practice on. Trust it."
That's the key. Create the plan then work the plan. And when it's not working, you still trust yourself.
"During the winter, I can hit in a cage and be mechanically sound. But the first time I hit live in spring training, I'll be lucky if I get a ball out of the cage."
"For younger guys, that's a sign of, 'Oh, I'm not getting out of the cage,' so they try to speed things up, do things quicker."
Trust your approach and stay under control. Don't let frustration change who you are.
The game is mental.
The greats know that and they learn how to build a process that works for them.
They adapt as needed, but they learn the art of focus. Focusing on how to master and trust the process.

Tony Gwynn went to college on a basketball scholarship.
He couldn't hit the ball out of the park. Scouts didn't see a star.
But he hit .338 for his career. Won 8 batting titles. Made the Hall of Fame.
His secret? A system he built from scratch:

The #JUCO route is not for the faint of heart!
The number that ends the JUCO debate: during Marc Rardin's twenty seasons at Iowa Western, 142 of his players signed with NCAA Division I programs. That figure is published by the school, not claimed by the coach. His program was also named national academic team of the year nine times. The junior college route is not where baseball careers end. For 142 of his players, it is where Division I began.
