High School and Travel Baseball With Sean Smith


Baseball , Education , Podcast

In this episode, I am joined by Sean Smith. Sean is the owner and director of STiKS baseball academy in Waukesha and the head baseball coach at Catholic Memorial High School.  Prior to opening STiKS, Sean had a successful high school, college and professional baseball career. 

Sean and I dive into:

  • The difference between high school baseball and travel baseball
  • Current trends in baseball player development in Wisconsin
  • Keys to getting recruited as a high school baseball player
  • What to look at in a school when you are getting recruited
  • The difference he sees between “elite” baseball player and “good” baseball players
  • The importance of playing multiple sports to help develop as a baseball player

If you are a baseball player or the parent of a baseball player, this episode has a lot of key takeaways about coaching, making decisions on where to play and how to develop.
