How to navigate a coaching change in your college sports recruiting for a positive outcome.

Transcript

With the college football coaching carousel and full swing, I'm reminded of the importance of addressing how to deal with a coaching change as a recruit, regardless of your sport. Most importantly, don't officially reopen your recruitment without a landing spot. First, determine your status with your currently committed school. Contact the school's athletic director to get an update. Are you still unsure to place on the team and what is the timeline for hiring a new coach? If a new coach has been hired, research the new coaches background, coaching philosophy, and track record for insight into how they will run the program and your potential role. Contact the new coach to determine if they're committed to you. Express your continued. Interest and ask questions about their vision and how they see you fitting in. Reassess and evaluate whether the program and any new coach remain a good match. Consider whether it's still aligns with your academic and athletic goals, especially if the new coach has a conflicting approach. If not, or they are no longer committed to you, recognize the reality of the situation and reopen your recruiting. Overcome your disappointment and get to work to identify other best fit schools. While the coaching staff should be a big reason you choose a program, it should only be one piece of the puzzle as coaching changes are common. Look for a holistic fit encompassing your key preferences, focusing on academic goals, major and career interests. Then target the schools that match these and which you are academically qualified and align with your level of play. Now be proactive. Reach out to these schools. Reengage with previous schools who recruited you. Also, contact the coach and staff who left your prior choice to see if they would be interested in recruiting you at their new school. In addition, ask them to contact other coaches on your behalf. For guidance on the recruiting process, contact us and take our comprehensive recruiting course.

Broken broncos are an example of a simple conditioning piece I like to use with field based athletes. They obviously form part of a larger puzzle, but they’re a regular in my programs. They can easily be adjusted to suit the athlete’s your coaching (eg rugby players can hit the deck on the turns). #strengthandconditioning #strengthandconditioningcoach

These moments are the ones that push you towards your next peak. It’s a reminder to take the shot. If Caitlin Clark’s coaches and parents didn’t give her permission to make mistakes, she may not be as good as she is today. 🌟🏀 We recently talked to a college athletic director who has a National Championship Volleyball team 🏆🏐. When I asked, “What’s different about them?” She responded, “To be honest, when a player makes a mistake, the coach stays calm and doesn’t sub them out.” 🤔💬 Do you think most athletes are given the support to feel comfortable making mistakes?
