In this episode, I sit down with Coach Adam Stevens, the Head Baseball Coach at Aurora University, one of the top Division 3 baseball programs in the Midwest. With a master’s degree in sports psychology, Coach Stevens has a unique approach to recruiting, developing players, and helping them handle both success and failure.

We dive deep into:

✅ What college coaches really look for in recruits

✅ Why the mental game is just as important as physical skills

✅ The biggest mistakes players make in the recruiting process

✅ How D3 baseball compares to other levels—and why it might be the best fit for many players

✅ The transfer portal and how D3 programs are utilizing it

Coach Stevens has been leading Aurora’s program for over a decade, helping his team achieve one of the highest winning percentages in Division 3 baseball from 2018 to 2023. His insights into recruiting, player development, and the mental game are invaluable for any aspiring college athlete.
