[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We were told that college coaches don’t want to hear from a recruiting service, they want to hear from your kid. You said “I don’t think my DS could manage this on his own.“ Tens of thousands of high school students do, in order to be recruited. It’s a lot of work but he needs to do it himself. Check out the FB group “Educating Parents of HS Athletes on the College Recruiting Process”, buy the accompanying book by Renee Lopez, and have your kid follow the steps it outlines. It worked for my kid and many others I know. [/quote]

Spot on, this needs to be mostly self directed by the kid. I do recruiting support for volleyball (mostly targeting HA schools) and none of the coaches that I interact with want to deal with emails coming from recruiting services or platforms. They’ll respond to a few people who have reputations and effectively act like scouts but they really want the kid to be driving things.

The book mentioned above is a solid starting point.[/quote]
