  1. all have said great things, for me coaching at a small school what I tell my players and the parents it is simple they are not coming to watch us play at the small school unless some kid is throwing in the 90's.  It just does not happen anymore, I tell my players and parents I will do whatever for them but they need to get out and go play outside of high school ball, go to camps and I will do my part on my end and make phone calls and try to set up any tryout I can for a kid.  Also, dont be afraid to send video to schools up north, the small schools in Kansas love Texas kids most of them will take kids from down here.  It takes effort and like someone says make sure your kid takes care of everything in the classroom and do not wait until December of their senior year to take the ACT and SAT, make sure your son works hard in school because if a college coach calls me they normally ask what type of student is your son, how is his attitude, what type of family does he come from.  Always hustle when you go to a camp or a try out I have seen it first hand a college coach will take a kid from a smaller school that is equal in talent to a kid at a big school but the small school kid will hustle.  Last when you go to camps and try outs be professional, if a college coach comes in talks to you or your son they want to see a good appearance (doesnt mean dress in a suit and tie), but they want to see the kids shirt tucked in hat on right have the right equipment (flats to hit in the cage, spikes on the field, shorts and baseball pants, baseball belt).  Do not be afraid to ask questions to the college coach about their program or university they want to know your family is interested and most of the coaches want to make sure your son wants to come get a college education and stay they do not want to waste their time on someone that is only going to be their for a year.  If your son is lucky enough to play at the next level the biggest thing is for kids to be patient because the chance of them starting as a freshman at a 4 year school does not always happen, most kids that go on to play at the next level have been on varsity for 3 or 4 years or were a starter for 3 or 4 years.  my rant is done take it as what you want it is just my experience I have delt with, I hope it helps if you have any questions PM me  

  2. I wasnt going to post anything because I only post when I need games or something needs to be corrected

     

    Coach Trotter did not run me off he was a great man to work for and gave me all the resources I needed to try and win I left because I was given a chance to run my own baseball program with an offseason and I given a good pay raise in the education system.  Coach Trotter did not run me off I left on my own
