Trying to Walk on....wish me luck

I am going to be attempting to walk on at a D1 school this fall. I could have played at a D3/2 but I loved the school I'm going to since I was young. Any tips for the tryout since its only going to be 1 day (I think)? I have contacted the coaches and my school and summer coaches have as well. I hit .488 this summer on my Connie Mack team which was 2 time returning State Champions.

Thanks

Look at the team's roster and see where they need depth. It may be at your position or it may be at a position that you can handle.

As long as you can hit there will be a place for you. If you have long ball power , show it in the try-out.

Making the team ,even as a sub, is the first step.

If its a one day try out you need to do something to open their eyes. Let it all hang out...

I hate to use this phrase but "been there and done that." You have a very big hill to climb. However, it can be done. I didn't have any athletic abilities at all. However, I am tenacious. In the tryout you don't have room for mistakes and it isn't for making friends. You will get a sense for what the coaches are looking for right away. Be that player! I wish you success!
