TJ Baer 25"
Marist College
I have had the privilege to play for coach Tower for the last 4 years of my baseball career. During this pivotal time as a highschool player, skill and recruitment are two massive aspects that will get you to the next level. I was fortunate enough to have coach tower as my travel coach, and his guidance to help me improve as not only a player, but a person is something that I will for ever be grateful for. During the recruitment stage of my career, he would diligently ask questions about my interest in a particular school and give me pointers on how to reach out and play infront of them, while also reaching out to these coaches for me behind the scenes. Coach Tower was crucial to my commitment to Marist University, as he would help me construct my skills and also reach out for me.

Ryan DeMelo 27'
Endicott College
We will always be incredibly grateful to Zack Tower for everything he did for our son, Ryan, throughout his college baseball recruiting journey. What started as an exciting opportunity quickly became an overwhelming process, with calls, texts, emails, camps, offers, and decisions coming from every direction. Having Zack there to guide us made all the difference.
From day one, Zack was supportive, encouraging, and always willing to answer our questions. He was amazingly responsive–quick to respond to every text or phone call, no matter when we contacted him. He explained the recruiting process clearly and helped us understand what to expect at every step. Zack has a way of calming anxieties and putting things into perspective. Zack was invested in Ryan, not just as a baseball player, but as a young man. He reached out to college coaches, advocated for him, and taught him how to communicate and build relationships with coaches on his own. When Ryan became overwhelmed with offers and decisions, Zack listened, asked the right questions, and helped him figure out what was most important to him so he could make his own decision with confidence.
Zack's brother, Josh, was also wonderful and played an important role in guiding Ryan and reaching out to college coaches on his behalf. Having both of them in our corner made us feel that Ryan truly had people advocating for him and looking out for his best interests.
What stands out most about Zack is simply how genuinely nice and kind he is! We never felt like we were just another family going through the recruiting process. We would recommend Zack and Tower Sports Advising without hesitation. We are thankful for the role he played in helping Ryan find his path to college baseball.

Caden Carre 27'
Russel Sage College
When we started navigating the college baseball recruitment system it was very overwhelming and confusing with the all the new rules.
Partnering with Zack Tower was the smartest decision we made for our son. Zack genuinely cares about the athlete as a person.
From the first meeting we had with Zack we left appreciating his honesty and realistic approach. He didn’t make any false/empty promises and he was completely transparent
Throughout the entire process. He took time to build a real relationship with our son and mentored him throughout the process.
We cannot recommend Zack Tower and Tower Sports Advising highly enough!

Terrence Mullin 27'
Wentworth Institute of Technology
It has been an absolute pleasure working with Zack and Josh during the recruitment journey this past year. When we began the summer travel season with focus on recruitment, the process felt overwhelming. With Zack and Josh as coaches of our travel team, utilizing the services of Tower Sports Advising was seamless. They kept us focused on the tasks that where a part of the process, from e-mail, camps, texts, to decisions that needed quick attention. They both gave clear and honest advice to our family through the whole process. They even helped navigate our interfamily discussions when we were on different pages!
With our son, Terrence, deciding to choose a major that would limit his chooses of potential colleges, Tower Sports Advising began to hone in on coaches/colleges that could use his talents and match Terrence’s choose of major. Zack/Josh assured us that we will find the right college to fit him academically while still achieving his ultimate goal to play baseball in college.
Zack/Josh had a different connection to our son than we had, through baseball, on and off the field. Because of this he helped guide Terrence to a college that worked for him.
We would highly recommend Tower Sports Advising to anyone that is looking for any help in pursuit of achieving the goal of playing baseball beyond their high school years.

I had the privilege to play under Coach Tower and have seen firsthand the effort, commitment, and personal attention he devotes to each player. His relationships with college coaches are second to none, and he will go to any length to make sure his players find the right fit at the next level. Beyond his knowledge and connections, he's a coach of quality character who truly cares about his players' success. Any player looking for guidance through the recruiting process would be very fortunate to have him in their corner.

Rhode Island College
Zack Tower has the skills and leadership style to engage and grow relationships with high school student athletes. He possesses insights into how to develop baseball skills to improve player performance. He is knowledgeable of the competitive nature of college baseball, and he can guide his players to the right school to achieve the right fit.
I have a lot of respect for Coach Tower. He worked with my son before he started his formal baseball consulting work. He found the right fit for my son at Rhode Island College. He made the varsity team as a freshman, and he is currently competing to start at second base. Before any compensation, Coach Tower displayed his integrity and character in the way he supported my son one year before he left for college.

We quickly learned that the college recruiting process is not what it used to be. It is far more complex and we needed help navigating it. Zack was the perfect person to guide us. He started explaining the process to our son in his sophomore year, gave feedback on videos, helped us narrow down colleges to target based on what our son was interested in studying, prepped him for interviews with coaches, and was a great advocate for him in front of recruiters. He was always available to us as well whenever we had questions. Zack’s expertise on the college recruiting process helped our son receive multiple offers and he was able to pick the school he was most passionate about playing for.

Coach Tower is one of the most experienced and reliable coaches I’ve had in my baseball
career. When it comes to the recruiting process, Coach makes a very overwhelming period straightforward. His extensive connections provide many opportunities to find the right place for every player. Whether Coach Tower is instructing me with my swing or advising me in life, he
has helped me become a better version of myself.

As a summer/fall coach, winter training advisor, or with private lessons, Zack Tower was instrumental in the development and guidance of my son (now playing in college). As a parent, I appreciated that Zack told both my son and I the truth – not what he thought we wanted to hear. Zack can strike a bond with the kids because he’s been there (player/coach) but more importantly, he can articulate what the players need to be focused on to improve. Refreshingly positive, knowledgeable, and straight-forward goes a long way these days – Zack Tower does what he says – hard to find, especially in the money-grabbing environment of youth sports today. Trusting someone with your child that has a true passion for a sport is a difficult decision – I wouldn’t hesitate one bit in recommending Zack Tower.

“Coach Tower played a huge role in my son’s recruiting process. He made the stressful time much more manageable providing insight and knowledge. He gave my son the tools to make the best decision for both his academic and athletic future. The recruiting process can be very tough time for athletes but with Coach Tower by his side the process was much more enjoyable, and our family could not be happier with the result.”

“Coach Tower was the most impactful coach in my development. Since knowing him for the past 5 years he has gone above and beyond in helping my skills as not only a baseball player but also life. If you are looking for someone who is willing to go above and beyond Coach Tower is the person to reach out too. I truly would not be where I am as not only a player but a person if it wasn’t for Coach Tower!”
