Tales From the Trail by MatchPlay
I started the Tales From The Trail Podcast from MatchPlay to bring highly valuable content to high school athletes who want to continue their careers in college. This can be a very overwhelming process and the goal of the podcast is to bring top college coaches and other experts together to discuss a wide range of topics relevant to the recruiting process.
