Billy Mote had a passion to play DI baseball...and made it happen.

Billy played at Baylor University, and spent another DI program at Creighton University, a JUCO, and finished at an NAIA...so Billy has as much experience as anyone to share his experience at nearly every level of collegiate baseball.

But like me and many other players, he was undersized at 5'7", 110 lbs in high school. In this episode, he explains his process and mentality that allowed him to become a Big 12 baseball player.

Billy shares the power of goal-setting, a mentor, and visualization - and his whole social presence is dedicated to the mental aspects that can transform an athlete's game and open opportunities.

Check him out @findingbelief on social and listen to his Focus Forge Podcast if you're a high school and older athlete looking to improve the most impactful aspect of your game - the mental.

You may be one of @jakesavicki's 600K followers on social media because of his baseball video commentary.

But as a former college ballplayer and Carlsbad, CA varsity baseball coach...he was able to provide some awesome perspective for both players and coaches in this episode.

We talk about:

• how baseball recruiting is changing
• what he looks for out of players as a former SoCal (elite competition) head coach
• the reality behind the curtain of baseball recruiting
• tips of how players CAN play in college
• the NEEDED perspective for coaches

• 
  

Players and coaches, this is a resource for you. Hope you find this time valuable!

EVERY ATHLETE needs to give this a listen. As a 5'2" 16-year-old throwing 80, Joey Laurer didn't pitch a single Varsity inning and still committed D1, where he currently pitches today.

Still undersized as a pitcher, Joey worked his way with the mentorship of his dad and uncle to 95 MPH and dominance on the mound...at times. However, after more than a decade of swimming and throwing, Joey was diagnosed with Thoracic Outlet Syndrome before his first college season. "I couldn't feel the ball in my hands".

This led Joey to a lack of control and ultimately a 60.00 ERA his sophomore season - hence his social handle @60eraguy. But if you watch Joey's content, he has a unrelenting work ethic, mindset and commitment to his craft to overcome this unforeseen obstacle - grounded by his faith.

As someone who also has Jesus in the center of my life, I am glad Joey shares the role his faith plays in his life because for players that consider themselves religious, leaning into belief and prayer can really be such a beneficial way to combat worry and anxiety - feelings that come from a place other than God as Joey describes.

I am sure if you give a listen, you will take away value that can help you on your journey. If so, please leave a 5-star review as it will help me continue to get great guests like Joey.

Make sure you follow him, particularly if you're a pitcher, on all platforms - @60eraguy.
