Committing To College Baseball: A How-To VIDEO
“Committed: The Guide to Developing College Ready Recruits from Middle School Through High School” Committing to College Baseball Book by Bryan Eisenberg & Walter Beede
Here’s what Bryan Eisenberg, Walter Beede, and I discuss in the above committing to college baseball interview:
- What are the top-3 kid raising pitfalls parents fall into in middle school and high school in before college and professional ball?
- The DANGERS lurking in self-comparison from ages 14-18 years old
- “Getting repetition because through repetition, we’re going to gain our retention….”
- “They won a college world series. It was a great moment. But suddenly, everything’s winding down. I suddenly realize that journey had concluded…”
- “I use the term and I’ve used 40 years where I tell parents the whole objective [of committing to college baseball] is to trade athletic ability for academic excellence.”
- “What’s the difference of success levels between your son who just played through college and the one who went pro in the way you treated them and brought them up?”
This is also an episode of the Swing Smarter Hitting Training Podcast. One of my favorite committing to college baseball gold nugget quote from Walter…
Walter Beede: “I would say the first lesson that I learned is if we have to push, then we’re probably not going to get the results that we’re hoping.
Mental standpoint, meaning if your son is pulling you, instead of you pushing your son, much more advantageous position to be in, especially for the student athlete. I think it’s about structure routine and accountability. Meaning my oldest son was really scattered, not so much from, as a multi-sport athlete, but just, really didn’t have that defined schedule of, okay, I’m going to lift here, work out here.
I’m going to do this routine here with regards to throwing or hitting or what, whereas my youngest son was driven. A lot of that had to do with him being around the college routine and watching how student athletes conducted themselves in a non-team environment, meaning off to the sidelines, how they will bring up [committing to college baseball], et cetera.
I would say the red line in the sand, between the young man that ultimately gets to the college level and the young man that kind of gives up the game at the high school level, truly is about the passion component. My oldest son loves the game but wasn’t passionate about the game.”

Hi Joey,
The interview with Bryan Eisenberg and Walter Beede is spot on!…this is what MD&I Baseball Academy is about. “My Dad and I” Baseball Academy. I see so much pressure put on kids today. I have (2) sons Ricky and Rashad who were 1st Team All-State (Ohio)
Ricky (2009/Baseball) and Rashad (2012/Rugby), and I had fun training them.
Joey both sons played football, baseball, ran track, basketball, soccer, boxing etc..they never went to a camp. I just had fun as a dad “developing” my son’s love for training and sports.
Way to go Rick! I love it. Your model seems like a no-brainer to me, and one I will follow with my kids. Thank you for sharing and fantastic work with your boys and with your academy disciples.
