Welcome back to The Sweet Spot Podcast for Part 2 of Episode 11! We continue our unfiltered conversation with two legendary college baseball coaches: Coach Jorge Pérez (St. Thomas University) and Coach Rudy Garbalosa (Lynn University). This time, we dive deep into the tough realities players and parents aren't always hearing: the truth about patience, adversity, and genuine preparation for the college baseball landscape.

The coaches don't sugarcoat it. They explain why most players aren't truly ready for the next level because they're not putting in the real work behind the scenes. We explore why college baseball is older and tougher than ever, and why physical development and strength training are absolute non-negotiables.

🎯 In this episode, coaches reveal:

• Why college baseball demands more maturity and resilience today.
• The critical importance of strength training and physical development beyond just skill.
• How patience and resilience become essential tools for every aspiring player.
• The unvarnished truth behind chasing quick fixes or jumping between schools.
• Why watching full games—not just highlight reels—builds crucial baseball IQ.
• Realistic expectations players and parents must have for the college recruiting process.
