How to Dominate Showcases
Northwoods Sumer League - Kokomo Jackrabbits, 2023
“In high school, I attended both general showcases and school-specific camps during the recruiting process – I know what it feels like! Whether it is excitement, nerves, or both, showcases can take a toll on your mental health. My best advice is to relax and have fun. The best way to accomplish this balance is to ask yourself an important question: Why do you like to play your sport? If you asked me, I would say I play because I love the one-on-one competitions within the game, the bonds I make with my teammates, and memories after exciting wins. YOUR answer will ground you in gratitude, help you stay positive, and inspire you to simply GO FOR IT.
Yes, scouts are looking for tools like arm strength, speed, the ability to hit for power and average, and overall athleticism. However, the best thing you can do at showcases is carry a strong mindset at all times and miss on the aggressive side. Scouts also want to see that you love the game. They want to see that you have energy. They want to see who genuinely has a passion for the game. At the end of the day, go out and have a blast! It is your time to show the world how good of a player you are.”
