One Percent Academy Podcast

Brooks Benson joins the One Percent Academy Podcast to share his journey to Professional Baseball. Brooks went to Junior College at Garden City Community College, before transferring to the University of Nebraska at Kearney, and then transferring one more time to Southwest Oklahoma State University. Once he finished his College Career, Brooks drove around the country to attend Professional Tryouts before ending up in Monterey, California where he played with the Monterey Amberjacks, and would go on to play for another 2 years with the Road Warrior Blacksox and the Idaho Falls Chaukers. Brooks talks about the adversity that challenged him during the journey such as grades and possibly not being eligible, living on the road in a camper to save money, and also getting released and trying to manage a budget while determining the next step in your career. _________________________________________ TRYING TO GET RECRUITED?
