Committed: The Guide to Developing College Ready Recruits from Middle School Through High School

Product Description

What does it take to develop a student athlete who college coaches want to recruit? Written by two baseball dads, Committed shares with you what it takes to get there from middle school ages through high school. Walter is the baseball dad who played and coached for the last 40 years and helped develop both of his sons to play in college and helped his son Tyler play for the San Francisco Giants. Bryan is the baseball dad who always loved the game and when his son Sammy was around 10 years old realized he didn’t know enough to help him accomplish his dreams. This is the guide that Bryan wished he had before he spent countless hours researching and learning all about player development, baseball technology and the recruiting process from some of the best professionals in the industry.

With a foreword written by legendary head coach of Vanderbilt University, Tim Corbin, Committed will be the book you reference for years to come.

Review

There are very few people in the business that know that process first hand as much as Walter as a player, coach, teacher and Dad.

Jayson King, Head Coach University of Dayton

“What an incredible resource for any player or parent who is interested in optimizing their journey from the youth leagues through the recruiting process in hopes of getting a College Scholarship. What makes this Manual so impressive is that it not only focuses on navigating through the recruiting process, but places a major emphasis on the training, development and character aspect of this journey. Clearly Bryan Eisenberg and Walter Beede have a great deal of experience with this process, and are driven to help players and parents learn from their experiences, as well as demystify the countless questions that are bound to come up for anyone who is embarking on this journey for the first time.”

Alan Jaeger, Jaeger Sports

There are many great baseball minds I’ve come across in my career thus far, but what makes me turn to my dad time and time again is his constant ability to learn and grow along with the sport. Tyler Beede, Pitcher San Francisco GiantsWalter Beede brings a wealth of knowledge as a baseball player, coach, and father to what can definitely be a very confusing process. While baseball is a great game, it can sometimes be a terrible “business,” but with someone like Walter in your corner to navigate the waters, the college recruiting process can go much smoother. Eric Cressey, President, Cressey Sports PerformanceWithout Hesitation I would recommend Walter to any parents who are trying to find the best academic and athletic opportunity for their son. He also is able to find skill sets that other coaches and instructors may have overlooked.”Mike Fox, Former Head Coach, University of North CarolinaHis knowledge about all aspects about the baseball world is second to none and I’m lucky to have had the chance to call him a Coach and now a mentor. While Coach Beede may not give you the answer you want to hear, he will always tell you the truth and help guide you with regard to skill set development as well as the college recruiting process.Keith Renaud, Becker College, Franklin Pierce University, Cincinnati Reds MLB Draft 2009Walter allowed players to gain every ounce of advantage in being noticed by college coaches. I will forever be grateful for Walter’s help.Landon Marceaux, former Pitcher, Louisiana State University, 3rd Round Pick, 2021 MLB Draft, Los Angeles AngelsHis guidance and instruction in all aspects of the game of baseball has helped our family in so many different ways.
