Episode Details

College baseball coaches evaluate more than just your player's tools — they're watching your family too. In this episode of Dugout Dish, EMD Baseball breaks down the most common recruiting mistakes parents make and exactly how those mistakes can damage their son's chances of getting an offer.

What you'll learn:

Why parents must support the process without becoming the one being recruited

How using the word "we" in conversations with coaches sends the wrong signal

Why players — not parents — must handle all communication with coaching staffs

How sideline behavior at games creates red flags for coaches watching your son

The difference between a parent who helps their son get recruited and one who quietly hurts his chances

The recruiting process is long and emotional — and it's easy for parents to cross a line without realizing it. This episode helps you stay on the right side of it.
