Recruiting Roadblocks - Late Bloomers

Not every athlete starts their recruiting process at the same time. That's completely fine. I talk to families that always feel like they are "late" to the process. In many ways that's not really true. Are there athletes that are already done by the time you start? Sure! But it doesn't mean that you are late.

When it comes to "late bloomers" we are in a little bit of a different realm I think.

We aren't talking about athletes that have played since they were 11. We are talking (usually) about athletes that didn't even start playing volleyball until they got to high school. In this situation they probably started on a 3rd team or even a non-travel team. Through practice, training, high school volleyball and time they got better. To the point that they moved up to a top team. Maybe even starting as a sophomore. Now, they start thinking, "Maybe I could play in college."
