[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A similar dynamic did influence my kid. Not a recruit, but the sport and wanting to play and having it be a good part of his high school experience was important to him. He chose a different school where the people and the vibe clicked better. The school was not as strong in the sport, but he loved doing it, they won championships, he was team captain, etc. It was an overall net positive to choosing the school, that I don't think would have happened at the school where he got the negative vibe from the coach. But who knows?[/quote]

We should have paid a lot more attention to the coaches of the sport our kid and our kids' friends wanted to play in high school.  We undervalued how important being able to participate in the sport was for them, and the coaches' incompetence became a major issue as to whether they would remain at the same high school for 4 years.  Parents worked out an alternative, but I do wish we had given more weight to our concerns about how poorly the coaches interacted with kids interested in going to the school.[/quote]
