College Baseball
A few days ago, I talked to my high school baseball coach about me playing in college. We talked about a few different schools I was interested in, and he gave me some insight into the program. One of the schools we discussed had an interesting story. About 7 years ago, my coach explained, they had a pretty bad team and was looking for basically anyone who wanted to play. Now, after winning a national championship a few years back, they are only recruiting the top schools in the country. A week prior to the talk with my high school coach, my dad and I talked with the coach of this team. He seemed cocky and a little full of himself. I really like that confidence in a coach because it makes me feel like a winner being recruited by him. But, at the same time, it made me realized just how fast things can change, which is why I want to be sure about where I want to go to school. The environment of the team can change very quickly, and I therefore have to be comfortable with the school as well.
