Season’s Over, Recruiting Isn’t
November 12th, 2009 - byAt NCSA we work with thousands of athletes every year. As a result many of their teams don’t fare as well as they would have liked. This often brings us the question, ” Will my recruitment be hurt because of a lack of team success?”
My answer is always the same, “Not if you don’t let it!”
Yes, recruits playing in the posteason have some advantages. They have more time for a coach to get to a game to evaluate them in person. They get to play against other top-competition. They get to show what they can do when the pressure rises.
However, recruits on teams whose seasons end early suddenly have extra time on their schedule. Suddenly, a game day visit that was once impossible now is feasible. Making calls to coaches at night also becomes a lot easier without juggling practice and homework.
Ending your season earlier than expected is never fun, but it shouldn’t be a road block in the recruiting process.
