[quote=Anonymous]For those getting into the journey I have many takeaways but here are two. And these are just my observations, opinions and experience. Understand others may disagree.

1.  Be a ball hog. You will be told constantly you have to stand out to get recruited.  This is so true. So if you are on offense hog the ball because that is the way to stand out in nonstop games coaches watch.  DD was told the opposite but my observation is that ball hogs get recruited not team players.  Coaches most of the time aren’t looking to see how great you are off ball. And if you’re a diva they don’t care if you score.

2.  Push your kid and lead the way. We were told that the player should lead the journey. My experience is that most (not all) kids who did well recruiting had parents who pushed them hard all the time and were in the drivers seat for recruiting. They did the video. Pushed nonstop playing and visibility. Handled their emails and social media. Talked to the coaches all the time (politely). Coaches say it should be the player but if the player is good they will put up with pretty much anything even though it’s annoying to them. [/quote]
