It is better to be a big fish in a small pond than a small fish in a big pond.
Malcolm Gladwell
The book Outliers
This is something I would have argued against vehemently but something I have changed my mind on completely over the years.
Long term development is a puzzle that so many simply do not understand.
Searching for bigger and better usually results in diminishing returns.
Players do not have to play on the supposed best team in the best division in the best tournaments or in the best league to develop.
Usually it is the opposite.
They need to play for the right team in the right division in the right tournaments or right league.
The misunderstanding of development is why the transfer portal is absolutely overflowing with kids and parents that bit off more than they could chew.
They were always looking for the glitz glamour and more.

[Coach Martin @SFACoachMartin]

Fellas,
A college coach just followed you on X.

Most athletes follow back, feel good about it, and wait. The window closes. The coach moves on to the next athlete.

Here's what to do instead, right now, while the coach still has you on his mind.

DM him immediately and say this word for word:

"Coach Smith, thank you for the follow. I'm very interested in your program. Have you had a chance to watch my highlight video? [link to highlight video]"

That's the whole message. Four sentences and a link.

One of two things happens next. If he hasn't watched the tape, he will. If he has, your athlete just opened the door to the coach's feedback and the next step.

A follow is not a recruiting move. A follow-back is not a recruiting move. The DM is the recruiting move.

While other athletes collect coach follows like trophies, your athlete just turned his into a coach watching his film within 24 hours of finding him.

You’re welcome.
