[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid did all it. We were a sounding board but she coordinate calls and visits. We kept a calendar to keep track of everything and when she had a call one of the parents took notes. Coaches don't want parents doing the work.[/quote]

This is exactly the feedback I have received from the coaches at my alma mater. They want to hear from the athlete.

In my sport - track - dropping really good times in 10th or 11th grade matters and the stopwatch to an extent rationalizes the recruiting process. Predictability in college performances is a difficult game however and the coaches really want to know about character, grades and motivation. No better way than having the athlete present themselves.

My roommate in college coaches D1 in Virginia and the school has rigorous admissions standards. He gets on good student early. A very competitive marketplace. I was happy on of the Commonwealth's recent champions is going there .

Not sure about other sports where lots of film could be helpful. Clearly can see where parents could pitch in there. [/quote]
