[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Players improve by playing with and against better competition. The player will get better during practice and if they improve they will see more time on the field. This is how it works. You don't magically improve by the jersey you put on. It is done through hard work and dedication, that being said hard work and dedication does not guarantee that you will get to the "D1" level of skill. Talent has a lot to do with that.  Worrying about recruitment at 8th grade is silly, there is soo much more development to be had before any college coach will ever see you play. The anxiety that parents feel is a holdover from the early recruiting of 5 years ago. Relax, Enjoy, and focus on fundamental skills.[/quote]

well said.

I would phrase it another way though.

It's okay to worry about recruiting at 8th grade. But the focus should be improving Lax IQ, stick skills and most importantly -- speed, strength, explosiveness and quickness.

it's silly to worry about exposure. But if you daughter is serious, this means focusing on getting her playing against the best girls you can. If you play for a big 3 MD club, this is probably already happening.  If you don't, this is where clinics/camps/showcases can provide value.

Having been through there process before, if I would do anything differently.  It would be investing more time in strength/speed workouts and less in clinics/showcases. (Though I would still do camps at top schools like MD,UVA and BC).[/quote]
