I feel like I've written this blog before, and maybe I have. I will do it again anyway, because it's important. I suggest that parents...

How comfortable are most college coaches recruiting solely off of highlights and game footage? They aren't, not at all.

June 15th is now a week behind us. It's been a mostly positive week with a lot of contacts between coaches and athletes. I will admit that I think more could have been done on the coaches side to help things transition and go smoothly, but I get into that more in my podcast - Click Here . There are lots of variables moving forward in the recruiting process, but the most obvious question is "What's Next?"

If you missed the blurb from Coach Booth last week on the AVCA facebook page, then you missed why volleyball wins. She talks about what makes coaching volleyball and the volleyball community so special. The whole piece is spot-on. I have included the link below, but here are three things that stood out to me in the article.

Last month I posted briefly about the current state of recruiting as it related to the idea of tournaments, qualifiers and possibly the whole season being cancelled. What was that going to look like moving forward and what you can do about it currently. I thought after 30 days in basic house arrest with our family of 6 I would give a brief update...although only some things have changed, they are seemingly some big changes.

I'm kicking it old school a little bit here with this recruiting question. It's one that a lot of coaches will use and ask during the recruiting process and I think that it pertains to our current situation right now in a big way. We always talk about finding the right "fit" for athletes. While certain athletes might have different reasons for a school being a good "fit" for them, in general the question pertains to the athlete being a good fit for the volleyball program,

This week was certainly a crazy one. I had planned on driving to Denver early Thursday morning for the Crossroads Qualifier and by the time Thursday night was over, I didn't think I could be that exhausted NOT driving 12 hours in the car by myself. As the dominos started falling Wednesday, it all seemed to be happening too fast to comprehend. With Spokane and Indy getting cancelled, I figured that Crossroads wasn't far behind and made the decision to stay home. The consta

Usually when I am doing a recruiting seminar, I spend the majority of the time talking about D1 scholarships and how those numbers break down. I talk to a lot of parents that have athletes that can play in the Power 5 or they want to play in the Power 5. I thought I would run some numbers and try to show how difficult that task really is. *the Power 5 conferences are the SEC, ACC, Big 10, Big 12 and PAC 12 **I did round-up some of the answers to help keep the math simple

Well, it was an awesome weekend. The first weekend back for D1 coaches is always busy and there were certainly a lot of D1, D2, D3 and...

I was able to get back into the gym the last few weekends and watch some club volleyball. Definitely ramping up and getting excited for...
