Subscribe to the NCSA BlogLearn from a Recruiting Expert
June 8th, 2009 - byNavigating the athletic recruiting process can get really confusing, really fast. Most of the time the student athlete needs to rely on a support system to handle the intense time requirement. ESPN’s Bruce Feldman recently profiled the Elite 11 quarterback camps and their impact on the football recruiting scene. One top recruits mother had an interesting quote about just how much time and effort she had invested in helping her son.
Julie, like most QBs’ parents, has tried to become a recruiting expert in the past year to help her son navigate this minefield. She says she didn’t realize just how closely she’d been following this stuff until today, when she started recognizing kids she’d never seen in person just from their head shots. “It’s been a little bit frustrating,” she says of the process. “There are a lot of secret handshakes we’ve had to figure out because it’s so hard to get accurate information. For two weeks I’ve been trying to get Matt’s height and weight updated.”
The reality is it is extremely difficult for anyone to go through this process and not get frustrated. Thats why many families turn to NCSA to make sure that they have an expert on their recruiting team.
