Michael Weber - University of Tampa
The most challenging part of the recruiting process was being patient. Finding a college which fit academic as well as athletic certifications is hard, but in the end is very satisfying.
The recruiting process can get pretty tiresome after a while, but once you have found that special college/university, you feel so relieved that your talent is recognized. Now I am moving on and up to bigger and better things in my college baseball career here at Tampa.
NCSA impacted my recruiting process by contacting schools that they believed would best suit my interest. I used the NCSA College Baseball Game Plan and tips. Having a personal coach is definitely a big plus too.
I would advise student athletes going through the process now that you don't have to commit, give in, or make choices early. Be patient, and in the end you will find a college that fits your every need. You will be much more satisfied if you do.
Traveling over 1,400 miles away from home for college was a big first step. Making the team in the Fall of 2008 was a great feeling! There definitely will be some success stories for me in Spring 2009 and in Class of 2012 here at the University of Tampa baseball program. I've got some great teammates and coaches and we have fun, are focused to improve and we always are expecting to improve and win.
