Chapter 6 Excerpt - College Recruiting
Many S-A’s rely on their HS coach to
provide recommendations and guidance in the recruiting process. Who
wouldn’t? Your coach is someone who has a detailed knowledge of your
athletic talents and accomplishments due to the fact that you may have
played for them for a number of years.
Some families fall into the trap of
thinking that their HS coach is
(1) - qualified to evaluate
their athletic talent as it applies to continuing your athletic career
at the college level and (2)
- wants to help with the recruiting process. We surveyed several hundred
families and many received no help from their HS coach and almost all
expected more assistance. That’s usually the first and last place
families turn for help and when they don’t get it from the one person
who they assumed would be able to help them, their recruiting process
can go down hill very fast.
Just because your coach has been coaching
for a number of years at the HS level doesn’t necessarily make them
qualified to evaluate your talent as it applies to college. Perhaps your
coach never played athletics in college or is not that familiar with the
talent at various colleges and divisions in your area. While there are
many qualified coaches at the HS level, there are many more that either
don’t know how to help you get recruited, don’t know how to evaluate
your talent, and honestly don’t want to even get involved in your
recruiting process
