What Disney Traditions Teaches About College Athletic Recruiting (Orientation Before Exposure)

The video compares Disney’s “Traditions” orientation to the college athletic recruiting process, arguing that families need orientation before exposure. It explains how Disney teaches the system first (mission, onstage/backstage, and the four keys: safety, courtesy, show, efficiency), clearly defines roles (including the rule that everyone picks up trash), trains cast members before they go onstage, and uses this preparation to create a consistent guest experience. The script applies these ideas to recruiting, saying families often chase showcases, tournaments, emails, and social media without understanding how coaches build rosters, timing, fit, roles for parents vs. athletes, or preparation like evaluation, school lists, and communication plans—leading to stress and confusion. It introduces a program launching Friday called the College Recruiting On-Ramp System to provide that orientation.
