[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it true KM will be the coach for MDDC 29? If true, it’s a no brainer for the SR girls to go for MDDC. [/quote]

LOL!!!!! ask any SR lax parent.  There is zero chance that KM will spend her summer weekends coaching in NJ, Maryland and Delaware with a bunch of players who could not make Capital.  She is a mom of many young kids.  Can't see her making the commitment to this.  And justifiably so.  Only SR parents with no brains would send their kids to MDDC on that promise.  I know the trend on these pages is to trash Capital, but if people are seeing this as a great alternative, they are smoking the crack pipe.  [/quote]

This makes sense. There’s no way she has the bandwidth to coach that team. She has enough on her plate.[/quote]

JUST CONFIRMED BY MDDC ON IG….

KM WILL be a coach for the 2029s. If they can get all the SR girls on the MDDC 29 team, SR will be unstoppable in the coming years. Combined with the recruiting director being from SR as well makes the SR/MDDC combo a no brainer! Better rehash those preset rosters Cap![/quote]

She doesn’t have the breadth of relationships Capital has. She will also favor SR girls on this team over all other girls come recruiting time. This is well known in the DMV lax world. [/quote]

Re: “She doesn’t have the breadth of relationships Capital has”

You can’t compare a coach to a program. The coaches on capital don’t have the breadth of relationships, the program does. You know who DOES have the breadth of relationships as capital, and bigger name recognition? M&D [/quote]

Capital’s relationships are padded because of KJ. If KJ handles all the recruiting for her SSSAS girls, then obviously Capital hasn’t done anything for them. Capital’s only role was to have them ranked high and placed in the top divisions and she handled the rest. They are failing on their role with the current years. I wonder if all those SSSAS girls get into all those high academic schools without KJ’s help and influence? I doubt it. [/quote]

Your claim that KJ’s “influence” is the reason SSSAS girls get into high-academic schools is both misinformed and dismissive of the players’ own hard work. Let’s be clear: No coach or club—not KJ, not Capital, not anyone—can “handle” admissions to elite academic institutions. These schools have rigorous standards that student athletes must meet.

Capital’s role in rankings and division placements doesn’t negate the fact that every player is responsible for their own recruitment. KJ’s value isn’t in pulling strings—it’s in giving families unvarnished truths about what’s required:  
- Academics come first: AP/IB coursework, GPA, SAT/ACT scores (starting freshman year), and transcripts. No HS coach can do magic with a weak academic profile.  
- Proactive effort: Players create highlight tapes, email coaches, attend camps, and perform in tournaments.  
- Athletic merit: Colleges recruit athletes who improve their rosters. Speed, lacrosse IQ, and versatility matter—not who your HS Coach is...

KJ’s honesty—telling players when they’re not academically or athletically qualified—is why coaches trust her. She doesn’t sell illusions; she filters out unrealistic options. If she had “influence” to bypass college admissions and D1 coaches recruiting plans then her favored players would be at better schools. They aren’t, because D1 coaches/admissions offices decide, not KJ.

Capital recruiting director, SR Coach, Potomac’s AD, and KJ all guide, but they don’t control outcomes. To imply otherwise insults the players who’ve earned their spots through grit, grades, and skill. Blaming coaches/clubs for “failing” or crediting them for “influence” ignores hard reality: Recruitment is earned, not handed out by any high school coach not even a 40+ year Hall of Fame coach.

They got into the high academic on their own. If your daughter wants to get recruited she has to do the work herself . Ask the 26 parents. [/quote][/quote]

Thank you for this.  It makes perfect sense. I’m a 2029 parent of an high academic upper tier player.  Neither my daughter nor I would know how to navigate the recruiting process. We would be entirely unable to make progress without good guidance.  Can you recommend any clubs in the area that might be good at offering such assistance?  Or does it really not matter and we should assume any club in the area would have the same experience, contacts, and credentials?  Thanks again for the good post. [/

Are you in private, especially a high academic private? Your HS coach and AD will be extremely helpful. [/quote]
