Hey, how you doing? Listen, I get it. This recruiting process can be hard to understand and almost frustrating, right? We're going to these showcases, we're going to these camps and nothing's really happening. And then you add a time element to this and that can just add to the complexity because we only have so much time to get recruited, right? And looked at. And when is that time frame? That is from sophomore year to the summer after your junior year. That is your honey spot. Okay? That is when to be going through the 20 recruiting process in the earlier the better. Trust me with this. My name is Alex Swenson. I was a college baseball coach at the highest level in the SEC at Ole Miss, in a high academic school in Georgetown University and also a mid major in Jacksonville University where I also played. I have seen both sides, right? I was that coach and recruiter to also that high school student athlete trying to go through this recruiting process, trying to understand it and work through it. This is why I went into it to help guys like you play at the next level and especially at good academic schools to set yourself up for success. Okay? My systems and methods are proven. My network is vast amongst the college coaching scene. It's proven again, I've helped guys get into Harvard, Stanford, usc, Johns Hopkins, Georgetown, all these schools and the list continues to grow. I want to be that help for you. But here's the thing. I can't help everybody. I am a one man crew. It's only me. I'm not this huge recruiting service that just takes anybody and everybody and says that I can help you. I can't help everybody, okay? Because frankly, not everybody can play at the next level. So just as you're seeing if I'm a good fit for you, I want to make sure that you're a good fit for me. Right? I'm not going to just take anybody or you know, that wouldn't be right. Okay? So I want to make sure that I can help you. And how do we go about that process? One, just give me a call. Let's talk. Talk. And then I can look at some video. You probably see my cell phone number somewhere around here. I'm going to put it somewhere here. But give me a call. Let's talk again. It's just me and I can explain some things to you and go more in depth because I'm sure you have questions and we can go further into that. Okay? But understand again, I was that student athlete. I was never that elite athlete that is committing freshman year and on Twitter and Instagram and you're trying to understand how and why. I was never that athlete. Okay. I was just a good athlete that was mixed among all the other good athletes in my state, my region, and, quite frankly, the country. And I had to find ways to expose myself. Right. To play at that next level. And fortunately, I was able to do that and go on and have a successful career. And I want that for you. Okay. So let me help you. If you feel like you're a good athlete and. And you have good grades, give me a call. Your parents, give me a call and we'll talk about this and go further. But again, I look forward to talking to you and hope to talk to you soon. All right. Take care.
