NYT: Coaching Baseball Rookies for the Limelight

LEESBURG, Va. — Many of the 104 teenagers and young men who gathered at a resort here this month will soon be very rich, and some may be larger than life: household names, tabloid celebrities, possibly even worldwide brands.

The world’s top baseball prospects, they came to attend an annual three-day session called rookie camp, meant to prepare them for life under the lights: how to live with the attention, how to make it last, how to enjoy it.

This year for the first time, it included a presentation dedicated to nutritional supplements (which can contain banned substances) and a stronger emphasis than ever on the power of video and social-networking sites to follow athletes almost anywhere.
