1. Yes, there are dumb questions. 2. I can only talk to you during certain times. 3. Let me know what other schools you are currently talking to. 4. Have awesome grades (makes my job much easier and opens up options for you) 5. I’m recruiting you, not your parents. Make sure they understand that. I will meet them along the way but they should be in the background.
@@BobBob-kc3ye usually the coach does himself, early enough. either the player is not that appealing and the coach will ask for your budget, then straight away tell you how things stand, or if the player is someone they rather would like to have, he will plan the next conversations with the player/parents and will try to explain what could be done, also understand what the player is expecting. Unfortunately this "dance" is pretty straight forward nowadays with UTR relatively clearly positioning the player's level, which makes it difficult for the player/parents/agents to maneuver too much if at all..
I've never understood why coaches think they're entitled to know what other schools they're talking to. Kids don't ask what other players they're talking to, do they? Yet I've seen many, if not most, team websites ask (on the questionnaires) ask what other schools are interested in you. Why would a kid volunteer that information?
Very helpful. Just went through the process w/ our son (now a commit to UofL). The relationship piece really rings true. As he got to know the coach (often an assistant), the conversations really moved beyond the generic questions you referenced.
I have no idea what point you are trying to make about the 5:16 mark? I'm not a college coach anymore because in coaching at the college level for 8 years in my 20s I made between $9,000 to $34,000 a year and worked 60+ hour weeks. I left coaching on my own terms to pursue a more gratifying lifestyle. I now have three kids ages 9, 7, and 3. I work from home and spend most of my day with my family. If I was still coaching I would barely see my kids, I'd be stuck dealing with administrators who don't have my best interests in mind, and I'd be really poor :). Regarding my success as a coach, I successfully recruited at two different D3 schools winning conference championships in the 3rd year with players I recruited. My success in my coaching roles is something I am very proud of. So again, no idea what you think your point it - but if you think me leaving D3 basketball coaching to start two different businesses that have both been overwhelming successes that far outweigh even my loftiest of dreams, then you are a crazy person (which you probably are if you are trying to dunk on random strangers on youtube anyway).
Idk I’m just confused becuase my dad won’t sign me up for a club baseball team becuase he thinks everyone is out their for themselves but I go to a really good highschool in MN that produced joe Mayer and Paul molitor so idk what to do to get my name out there and I was playing summer ball with are varisty team at my highschool so idk if that’s good or not
it doesn't matter what your dad say bruv am a 14 year old trying to play D1 football I see where you coming from yo dad don't control your future know that and keep grinding u gotta dream go get it right now am trying all my best to get highlights and more out there but it takes time but u need to want it bad not your dad telling you some other stuff by what I just read I think yo dad don't believe in you and if that's the problem use it as a motivation bro i promise you will start to see results but it's up to u, not anyone just YOU
Totally disagree. When I was a D3 college coach my list of kids was 1,000 or more per graduation class. I was narrowing down the list to focus on kids who were a good fit. If an athlete showed genuine interest in my program they moved up the list. If they asked generic questions they can find on the website of my school they stayed right in the pack of 1,000+. Also... too busy? During my 8 years as a college coach I was working 12 hour days doing a million different jobs (intramural coordinator, gym supervisor, driving the golf team to meets, etc,). This is the MAJORITY of college coaches at the smaller schools. They don't have time, you do. So, you can either be prepared and ask great questions... or suffer the consequences if you don't. I'm just here to help you bud. The first and most important aspect of getting yourself recruited is to drop the ego and understand how the business works :)
100% absolutely a good idea to find the types of schools you would be interested in. Your 9th grade film is pointless. But spending some time in 9th grade thinking about your potential major and location and what you want in a college is a decent idea for some students.
Hi coach lately I have been talking to this coach I was the one to reach out on the email so he emailed me back saying he wanted to have a conversation with me he told me to give him a good time to call me and I said at 2 but he ended up calling me at 4 because I asked him if he's still interested in me and then the same thing happens again any tips?
@@abdoulayekourouma2582 i dont understand what you are asking me. it's probable the college coach is confused too. Just be direct and say what you mean. also using punctuation definitely helps the reader understand.
@@abdoulayekourouma2582 that would be a statement. do you have a question I can answer? you will know its a question because you will feel compelled to put a questions mark after your words (assuming you are using punctuation).
Hi coach. Just found your channel. Good stuff. I'm now in my late, late 40s let's say (lol) and was a pretty successful high school/travel/odp player back in my day. Late 80s/early 90s. Without giving you a long diatribe, I've never been able to solve or figure out for why my "coach" at a major big east school back in the day invited me in as a walk on - yet would never tell me if I made the team or not? It's a long story but I missed out on a scholarship to this school because the prior coach recruiting me was fired. The new coach came in and I guess wasn't crazy about my game at the time. He was very familiar with my travel team since many of my teammates were already freshman players at this university (but sill playing u19 travel). So I get the call mid August to come into camp however camp was already about a week in . I clearly wasn't as fit as the other players but having played with/against about 75% of them in travel/high school, the level wasn't an issue for me. Just the fitness, really. I'm told I'm not dressing for the 1st game which was a road trip. I'm also told I won't be playing for the team but he still wants me in practices. I oblige. This goes on for about a month. I'm basically a practice player, which was fine I guess. My tuition was paid by my parents and I figured I'd eventually just "make" the team. As time passes, I'm tired of being a practice player and eventually just stop showing up. Since the school was close to my home, it' wasn't like I was in a dorm. It was a commute for me. Daily. Till this day, I've never been able to hear from the coach where I stood with him. He as young at the time, 27, so maybe he wasn't a good communicator looking back. He went on to great success. We won the NCAA in the mid 90s. It's just something that irked me for years. Why not just tell me (the kid) if I have it or not! The experience was so negative for me, I quit the game and did not pursue other schools. I had many friends/teammates go on to MLS. I always wonder had the coach talked to me, who knows how far I may have gotten.
Have faith in Jesus He is there for you and will heal you and your family. Stray away from all immoral evil sins and turn to Christ before it is to late. I say this out of the love of my heart remember this and Accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, The son of God, He died on the cross for our sins and He gives us eternal life.❤️✝️Do great things through Jesus Christ.❤️✝️
So basically what you are saying is not to ask questions that will keep the coach from wasting a kids time. As you said. You know who you want to recruit. But maybe don’t know if that recruit wants you. So you waste 10 kids time stringing them along and then if you get the recruit you want now they are stuck chasing other offers. As a coach if you have questions you hate to answer so what. Y’all mess kids over everyday and don’t blink.
I don't really understand what you are trying to ask or say here. I am not offering my opinion on how coaches should recruit, I'm simply giving people an inside look of the process from the coaches point of view. You say, "Y’all mess kids over everyday and don’t blink". I don't know what that means. Are you saying that I am the college coach? I coached in college from 2002 to 2009. For the last 13 years I've been a business owner. But do current college coaches "mess kids over" and recruit 10 kids for 1 spot? Yes, they do. That's how it has always been. It's a business for them. Literally. It's their JOB and how they feed their families. So, if you want to ask the questions in my video giving the coach more work and giving them a job to do instead of making yourself as easy to recruit as possible, that's of course your choice. What I am telling you is that is going to hurt your chances of getting the most interest and offers :).
there are like 2,000 colleges, bud. Northwest Eastern Bible college isn't recruiting the same kid as Alabama :). The process is different outside of the top tier D1 schools.
