The Process: A Family’s Guide to Developing College Ready Recruits from Little League through High School

Parents, do you want to really know how college coaches evaluate and who/how they recruit? Written by former a NCAA Head coach and most importantly a baseball dad, THE PROCESS, shares with you what it takes to get there from little league ages through high school. Walter is a baseball dad who played and coached for the last 40 years and helped develop both of his sons to play in college and helped his son Tyler play for the San Francisco Giants. Having lived through the entire process as a student athlete, college head coach and as a father, Walter knows what matters most for your child. This is the guide that you will want to have before you spend countless hours researching and learning all about the landscape of travel baseball and player development. Many claim to have the solution to your fears, Walter gives you the playbook you’ll need to navigate THE entire PROCESS.

With a forward written by legendary head coach of Vanderbilt University, Tim Corbin, THE PROCESS will be the book you reference for years to come.

＂I have known Walter for over 30 years and there are not many other people around with his vast knowledge of baseball. He has played professionally, he has coached collegiately, and he has had two sons who have taken different, yet both successful paths in the game of baseball - these experiences make him uniquely qualified to share his knowledge and opinions. I am most excited that Walter has put together his thoughts to pen and paper. He is a very talented father, baseball coach and teacher who has contributed to our baseball community through a very thorough and concise piece of work.

Thank you, Walter for bettering the game and helping families through your passion for this great game.＂

Tim Corbin, Head Baseball Coach, Vanderbilt University

＂Walter Beede brings a wealth of knowledge as a baseball player, coach, and father to what can definitely be a very confusing process. While baseball is a great game, it can sometimes be a terrible ＂business,＂ but with someone like Walter in your corner to navigate the waters, the college recruiting process can go much smoother.＂

Eric Cressey, President, Cressey Sports Performance -New York Yankees Director of Player Health/Performance

Walter Beede is an exceptional baseball man that knows what it takes to be a standout high school player, college player and professional player. There are very few people in the business that know that process firsthand as much as Walter as a player, coach, teacher and Dad. He is connected to the best of the best in the business and is the type of person that if he recommends someone to you that you must see that player.

He is also the type of person that will be very honest with players and coaches alike which is a very important trait. When I think of Walter Beede, I think of a baseball guy that has been through it all and has a tremendous amount of knowledge to share.＂
