THE RECRUITING PARENT PLAYBOOK - 5 VIDEO SERIES
Most parents want to help their child get recruited to play college sports. The problem is nobody tells them what their role actually is. And without a clear role, even the most well-meaning parents end up making the process harder than it needs to be.
This playlist is built specifically for parents of high school student-athletes who are navigating the college athletic recruiting process at the Division Two, Division Three, NAIA, or non-scholarship Division One level. If your family is in the middle of this process and you want to show up in a way that actually helps your child instead of slowing them down, these five videos are your starting point.
Videos in this playlist: Video 1: The Role Parents Are Actually Supposed to Play in College Recruiting
Most parents do not know what their role is in this process. This video fixes that. You will learn what coaches are watching, where parents hurt their child without realizing it, and the one area where parents absolutely must be fully involved.
Video 2: 5 Things Parents Do That Hurt Their Athlete's Recruiting Without Realizing It These mistakes come from a place of love. None of them are obvious. And any one of them can quietly close doors your child did not even know were open.
Video 3: How to Have an Honest Recruiting Conversation With Your Athlete This is the conversation most families avoid. Keith shares a personal story about sitting down with his own son and asking the one question that changed the direction of his entire college decision.
Video 4: When to Step In and When to Step Back During the Recruiting Process It is not always the same answer. There are moments where your athlete needs you fully involved and moments where your presence is working against them. This video helps you know the difference.
Video 5: What to Do as a Parent When Coaches Stop Responding Silence from coaches is one of the most stressful parts of this process for families. This video tells you exactly what it means, what it does not mean, and what to do next.
