I have a DD who is a senior this year and is going on to play D3 ball and is receiving a great academic scholarship. Playing college ball was her goal and her passion - we told her if that is what you want - we will help you and support you any way we can but, if that is your goal, you will need to do the work. She did - just like she has done with her academics - she sent the emails, edited the video clips we took, etc. In the end, because she knew what she wanted - she found a good fit for herself and is looking forward to playing the next level of VB. Several of her teammates also claimed to want to play at the next level. However, they either did little to no work to be recruited or their parents did all the work and communicating and, in the end, a number of them are not playing college ball or not where they had originally "hoped". My point is - if the player really wants to play at the next level, they will do the work to get there - and it will be seen by the college coaches. If they aren't willing to do the work - maybe its more the parents' goal then the players and in the end, that usually shows as well. Since this young lady seems to have parents who are not showing much interest, maybe they are waiting to see if this is in fact her "goal", plus, they may not be sure what they need to do to help. You might first talk with her to see what she wants, envisions going, and then have another meeting with her and her parents to make sure that they understand what is going on and how you all need to help her get there. Good luck to her and your high school team. They are lucky to have a coach like you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
