Purpose and Scope

Billy Cook ("Mentor") offers conversational mentorship sessions to help the Participant develop in areas of their choosing, which may include baseball and recruiting, school, faith, goal setting, and general life guidance. Sessions are supportive and conversational in nature.

This program is NOT therapy, counseling, or medical treatment. Billy is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, counselor, or medical professional. Sessions reflect his personal experience and opinion, not clinical advice. What has worked for him may not work for every participant. If a family needs professional mental health, medical, or academic support, they should seek a licensed provider. Billy is glad to help point them toward one if needed.

Format and Safety Practices

Sessions take place by video call at a scheduled time known to the parent in advance. Sessions are recorded, and recordings are made available to the parent on request. The Mentor will not initiate private contact with the Participant outside of scheduled sessions (no direct texting, DMs, or social media messaging with the minor). The parent may join or observe any session at any time. If the Participant discloses information suggesting risk of harm to themselves or others, the Mentor will pause the mentorship conversation, encourage the Participant to speak with a trusted adult, and promptly notify the parent and, where legally required, appropriate authorities.

Fees, Billing, and Cancellation

Membership is billed monthly at the rate selected during sign up. It may be canceled at any time; access continues through the remainder of the period already paid for. Fees are for the Mentor's time and availability, not for any guaranteed outcome, such as athletic recruitment, scholarship offers, or performance results.

Confidentiality

The Mentor will keep the content of sessions private and will not share details publicly or with third parties, except with the parent, as required by law, or where necessary to protect the Participant's safety as described above. Absent separate written consent, the Mentor will not use the Participant's name, image, or identifiable details in marketing or on social media.

Conduct and Termination

Either party may end this agreement at any time with written notice. The Mentor reserves the right to discontinue sessions if the parent or Participant is unresponsive, or if continuing is not in the Participant's best interest, with a pro rated refund of unused fees where applicable.

Scouted, Not Discovered
A 10th round pick who had to earn every level.

Billy wasn't a can't miss prospect. He played four years of college baseball at Pepperdine, carrying a full course load the entire time: the same tension a lot of families are carrying right now. Baltimore drafted him in the 10th round in 2021, and it took years working through every level of the minor leagues before his first call up, with the Pittsburgh Pirates, in September 2024.

"It hasn't been a straight line since. I've been sent back down and had to fight my way back. That part never made the highlight reel."

He's opening a limited number of one on one mentorship spots during his offseason, not because he's a licensed counselor or therapist, but because he's lived through exactly what these kids are living through right now, and nobody sat him down to explain it. This is that conversation.

Makeup Report

Too much screen.
Not enough real.

Parents keep telling him the same thing: their kids are leaning on screens and AI tools, and running short on real, present role models.

Middle school through high school is a formative stretch for identity, work ethic, and decision making, especially for kids competing seriously in a sport. School counselors, camps, and generic mentorship programs are often impersonal, one size fits all, or not built for athletes at all.

This is a steady adult voice in a kid's week that isn't a screen: someone with current MLB credibility, having a real conversation, on a schedule a busy family can actually keep.

Standing Menu

The kid picks the topic. Every call.

Not a curriculum. A relationship that flexes to whatever's actually going on that month, chosen fresh each session.

RC

Baseball and Recruiting

Recruiting timelines, exposure, roster reality, and the draft, from someone who's been through it recently.

SC

School

Time management, study habits, grades under pressure, and staying eligible while the season eats the schedule.

FA

Faith

Making faith personally yours, staying grounded through wins and losses, and talking honestly about doubt.

GS

Goal Setting

Real goals, broken into real steps, with someone actually checking in on them.

MA

Mental Approach

Slumps, pressure, comparison, burnout, and bouncing back after a mistake.

OC

Open Conversation

Sometimes it's none of the above. That's fine too, the call belongs to the kid.

Cleared for Contact

Built for parents to feel good about.

A current MLB player having recurring video calls with someone else's kid is a real trust question. Here's how it's handled: stated plainly, not buried in fine print.

Every session is recorded

Parents can request the recording or join any call live, any time.

No unsupervised outside contact

No private texting, DMs, or social messaging with a participant outside scheduled, logged sessions.

Signed agreement before session one

Every family reads and signs a Parent/Guardian Agreement before mentorship begins, not after.

Mentorship, not therapy

Billy is not a licensed therapist, counselor, or medical professional, and says so upfront. Full disclaimer during sign up.

Fit Check

Let's be honest about who this is for.

Cleared

  • Your family wants a steady, real adult voice in the week, not another app or algorithm
  • Your athlete competes seriously and still needs to keep grades, faith, or mindset in the mix
  • You're comfortable with recorded sessions and staying looped in as a parent
  • You want an ongoing relationship, not a one time pep talk

Not Cleared

  • You're looking for clinical therapy, counseling, or academic tutoring
  • You want a guarantee of recruiting, grades, or performance outcomes
  • You're not comfortable with a parent agreement and recorded sessions
Track Record

Real results, coming soon

Reserved for real parent testimonials once the first families complete a month of sessions, with written consent, and never a participant's name or face without it. No placeholder quotes. Borrowed credibility only counts when it's real.
Report Notes

Before you join

What does this cost?

A single one-time session starts at $100. Ongoing membership runs $180 to $400 a month depending on cadence and session length, and group or team sessions are available too. Use the rate card above to see the exact price before you apply.

Is this therapy, counseling, or tutoring?

No. Billy is not a licensed therapist, psychologist, counselor, or medical professional. This is conversational mentorship based on his own experience, not clinical advice. If a family needs professional mental health, medical, or academic support, they'll be pointed toward a licensed provider.

How does billing, pausing, and cancellation work?

Membership bills monthly. Cancel anytime and keep access through the rest of the period already paid for. Prefer a break over canceling entirely? Ask about pausing for a scheduling conflict instead. [ Placeholder: confirm before launch whether unused sessions in a month roll over or expire. ]

What's the offseason schedule?

The program runs during Billy's MLB offseason, roughly November through February. Billing pauses automatically once the season starts, and families can re-enroll the following offseason.

What happens after I sign up?

A short family intake form, then reading and signing the Parent/Guardian Agreement, then setting up membership payment. First session gets scheduled directly with Billy after that. No long wait, no cold application queue.
