Welcome to The Freshman Foundation® Podcast where we help young athletes BE READY for every next step in the game of life through mental performance coaching.

My guest in this episode is John Bachenski, a lacrosse player at Susquehanna University in Pennsylvania. Lacrosse was John’s first love growing up in New Jersey. He knew early on that he wanted to continue his playing career in college. However, the process of finding the right college program was a challenging one.

John discusses how he learned about the recruiting process the hard way and shares what aspiring college athletes need to learn in order to find their right fit.

So, what was your biggest takeaway from my conversation with John Bachenski?

My biggest takeaway is that aspiring collegiate athletes need to take control of their own recruiting process as early as possible. Young athletes need to do their research and ask college coaches hard questions even if it might be uncomfortable. Failing to do so can lead to finding the wrong college fit.

I want to thank John for sharing his story on this episode. He’s a great role model for any young athlete that wants to succeed at the next level.
