[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For freshman who want a shot at varsity this spring what is the best advice you can give them for participating in off season events (eg work outs and tournaments etc)?   I told my son participate in as many events as he can, be the best teammate he can be and show enthusiasm.   Does anyone have any other advice? [/quote]Listen, watch, communicate on field, file mistakes and have them educate not fester.  Play with confidence.  The latter 2 are tough to do as freshmen.

Take what happened and they learned positive and negative as a template to be ready for the next one.  And work at it a bit between workouts, even if some of that is visualization.[/quote]

Good advice overall.  I told my kids, act like you're already on varsity.  That is, attend all the activities, first off.  If you're on varsity, none of those are optional, so don't skip any.  Give max effort while you're in practices.  Play with confidence but avoid being cocky.

Overall, set a goal to make varsity, but if you don't and you end up on JV, it's not the end of the world--if you're any good you'll get way more PT on JV than you would on varsity, so use the season to develop and get better and then set your goal to make varsity (and also make a push to start) sophomore year.  Enjoy the process, playing for your school team is way more fun than club.[/quote]
