[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How much of the work to get recruited did your student do themselves?  Between practices and school our junior doesn't have time to be emailing a couple dozen coaches for each showcase so yeah, as parents we're doing it - cutting and pasting mostly.  [/quote]

I presented options for clinics/camps/training and kid decided on what was important.
Every time we went somewhere and there was a possible school of interest, we went to see it.

I created a master list of schools (and calendar) on a google doc with some basic information and kept track of all dates for child (emails, visits, video sent, etc), across all divisions. As child whittled things down, or child was eliminated from a school's recruiting, they were removed.

I helped draft emails for kid to tweak and add to, again in google doc. Kid sent emails and attended all zooms, meetings, calls, without parents.

Husband generally was on top of getting equipment, doing the highlight videos, and attending the training, clinics, camps, etc.

It's absurd that all of this had to be done but kid got a lot of interest and received multiple offers at D1, D2, and D3. Opted for the D3 experience and is loving it. (And glad they did not go D1 as the D3 experience has been VERY intense and demanding. I cannot imaging what D1 is like).[/quote]
