SparberU Homework

Lesson Content Summary

1. Recruiting Landscape and Quiet Period: Coaches may not be actively recruiting over the holidays but are reviewing their rosters and planning for future needs. Players need to stay ready and visible, even during this quieter time.

2. Maximizing Social Media Visibility: Twitter is increasingly used by coaches. Players should post highlight videos consistently and keep profiles updated to stay top-of-mind for scouts.

3. Goal Setting for Off-Season Development: Players should set specific, measurable goals for areas like speed, strength, and mechanics, using SparberU’s template to track progress.

4. Importance of Bat Speed and Exit Velocity: Bat speed and exit velocity are key recruiting metrics. Developing strength while maintaining solid mechanics will improve performance and appeal to scouts.

5. Mental Preparation and Game Awareness: Watching games as a player and visualizing success are valuable ways to build situational awareness and strengthen mental toughness.
