I have had a wealth of experience with the recruiting process and it is very similar if not the same with any sport. In the end if you child is truly classified as a top recruit it is because the coach has seen them perform at a very high level in their particular sport. The recruiting process is also confirms the athletic recruits maturity level and that they can handle what is expected from them when playing at the college level. Some of these include stress from travel, missing classes, required study halls, workouts, dealing and playing with injury. They also look for time management and organization skills which are critical to stay academically qualified during the season. Parent and student athletes need to really understand what is required and expected before they start contacting coaches and the processA less stressful alternative are college club sports, they can be very competitive and fun.
