"Jon really helped me throughout the recruiting process. During a very stressful time, I could always communicate with Jon and he helped calm me down multiple times.
His communication was honest about the best fit and thinking logically rather than emotionally. I’m very thankful for Jon."

Jake Morrel
Transfer portal, Jessup University (D2), Seattle University
"Entering the transfer portal and looking for a new opportunity was a tough decision and I didn’t have much traction at first.
When getting in contact with Jon everything changed. The amount of connection and work he did reaching out to schools was amazing. I believed in myself that I could play at the next level, however I wasn't getting the exposure I needed.
With the help of Jon the exposure and amount of schools reaching out was unbelievable. Thank you for everything, wouldn’t be in the position I’m in and at a school that sees the same."

"My overall experience was very good. Coach Karcich is a very knowledgeable, and will definitely help you to the best of his ability regardless of the service.
The recruiting process is tough, lots of waiting and conversations with schools that turn you down. Having Coach Karcich help me with this process was huge for my game on the field. I began stressing about finding my next school, and it 100% affected my game. Having such a great recruiting coordinator helps take that weight off of your shoulders so you can go play the game you love to the best of your abilities.
I would definitely recommend this service to the right people. Karcich is very talented and has lots of connections, but you have to buy in nothing is given to you. I will recommend this for guys I know are serious about getting looks but flying under the radar.
You just need to realize Karcich is doing everything he physically can to talk you up to the coaches. During this time it can feel like your forgotten about and that you may not have a home for next season.
That being said as a JK athlete, ask questions, stay in contact, and build a good relationship with your recruiting coordinator instead of not talking much during times like dead periods.
Will 100% recommend you to the right teammates. Thank you for everything was a pleasure to work with you and I hope we get to work again in the future!!"

"I would recommend Jon Karcich to anyone serious about going to the next level. Learning from his coaching has not only helped me with my recruiting process but also with the mental side of my game, which I think is where I found the biggest success.
In the beginning, I was skeptical, but as I began to work and employ his teachings, I found great success. Not only was Jon’s mental advice exceptional, but his recruiting advice was spot on as well. He confidently pushed me from the beginning to trust the process, which gave me the right perspective throughout the past two years.
I recently committed to the University of South Carolina Upstate and couldn't be more thankful for Jon’s constant advice and encouragement along the way.
One of the biggest things my family and I appreciated was his help clearing away the nonsense that came with the recruiting process and helping me to find the right fit."

Mark O'Brien
CAA Sports Agent/Former D1 Head Coach
"I have known Jon Karcich for close to 20 years. Jon’s baseball IQ and his inside knowledge of recruiting and developing players both physically and mentally is unmatched in the industry. Jon’s work ethic, integrity, attention to detail and his ability to communicate with players at any age sets him a part from most. A true leader in every sense of the word!"

Mateo Rojas
Cañada JC, University of Hawaii
"Working with JK was a great and easy experience. He went to work everyday for me and reached out to any schools/coaches that I asked about. He is upfront and honest about where you stand at the collegiate level. Talking to coaches personally, they all speak highly of JK and acknowledge that he is a well respected baseball name with a reliable word.
Before I started playing this summer, he told me to stay patient so the second I started performing he and I both could go to work recruiting wise. He made my life very simple once I started performing. I pitch well and he reaches out to the coaches I want to talk to.
There is no guarantee that everything will go your way but JK gives you the best shot. If you are a player who is wanting to play at the next level but needs guidance and assistance JK is your guy. "

Trevor Harper
Clovis North HS, UNLV
"I started working with Coach Karcich the summer before my senior year. He has helped me navigate the entire recruiting process from emailing coaches to phone conversations to narrowing down decisions.
He helped me realize that “Trusting the Process” and “Work will always Win” at the end. His honesty to his athletes is 100% one of his best attributes.
He has also helped me grow in parts of my mental game with his online videos and access to his hitters journal. The constant conversations relating to trusting the process vs results helped lead me to be my high school conference player of the year and 1st team all state.
I can’t wait to continue to use the journal through the next step in my journey where I will be continuing my career at UNLV. Through the last 12 months, Coach Karcich has been huge support not only to myself but also to my parents as we all navigated the recruiting process. I would recommend Coach Karcich to anyone serious about continuing their baseball career at the next level. "

I can’t say enough great things about Coach Karcich. Our experience with him has been absolutely amazing. Since Zach started working with Coach, he has grown so much—mentally, physically, and as a baseball player. Jon has helped him build the confidence and mindset to achieve any goal he sets, and I only wish we had found him before Zach’s sophomore year.
Jon’s communication style is one of his strongest assets. He is honest, direct, and incredibly proactive in his approach. One of the things I appreciate most is how he and Zach have built a relationship based on trust, accountability and respect. Jon has empowered Zach to take ownership of his development, and it’s been incredible to watch my son take this responsibility so seriously because he understands how to motivate Zach.
The entire recruiting process, which at first seemed complex and overwhelming, became much clearer under Jon’s guidance. He has an exceptional ability to break things down in a way that makes sense, ensuring that both Zach and our family felt prepared and confident at every stage of the process.
Since working with Jon, Zach has matured in ways that go far beyond baseball. His mindset, work ethic, and confidence have grown tremendously, and I know these lessons will stick with him for life. Without hesitation, I’d recommend Jon to anyone looking for a coach who truly cares about their players’ success on and off the field.
Athlete Feedback On The Mental Performance Program

Did you notice any improvements in your performance on the field?
"Yes I have more confidence in my ability to succeed. Also remembering breath work to help me stay dialed and locked in a calm for the moment. But with that I also remember when I’m doing any baseball stuff or training to Remember that you always sink to the level of your training and know my training has paid off."
"I would say the biggest thing would be confidence. I always thought I was confident but didn’t really fully understand until working with you. I feel like now my confidence is derived from the fact that I have a plan to fall back on every time I step on the field no matter who I play against. Before it was just because I knew I was a pretty good player."
