Coaching Changes: A Key Factor In Collegiate Recruiting

August 13th, 2008 - by Lisa Strasman

There has been a recent coaching change at the University of Maine.

With associate head coach/recruiting coordinator Guy Perron’s decision to take a scouting job with the NHL’s Colorado Avalanche and Grant Standbrook’s decision to retire as the volunteer assistant, there will be a new look.

If a student-athlete is not on their toes, they may send a letter or email to the wrong coach! Many recruits compile a long list of college coaches at the beginning of their recruiting process and they work off that same list for the next two or three years. See the problem? If a coach changes, you may not notice. Be sure to double check every coach on the college’s athletic website before initiating contact. This will ensure you have the most up to date information about the school and program.
