For high school sophomores with aspirations to play NCAA field hockey, the recruiting process begins on Thursday, June 15.
I'm a college coach who used to be a club coach, so I've been on both sides of the fence.
Here's a 🧵 with thoughts, tips and advice. I hope it's useful!
Proud is an understatement!
A huge shoutout to @reagunderwood for her contributions in helping @USAFieldHockey win 🥇 at the Junior Pan American Championships! Reagan gave the USA the lead in a 1-1 tie with Argentina in regulation then scored the winner in the shootout!
Steve Kerr's comments about AAU Basketball.
“Even if today’s players are incredibly gifted, they grow up in a basketball environment that can only be called counterproductive. AAU basketball has replaced high school ball as the dominant form of development in the teen years. I coached my son’s AAU team for three years; it’s a genuinely weird subculture. Like everywhere else, you have good coaches and bad coaches, or strong programs and weak ones, but what troubled me was how much winning is devalued in the AAU structure. Teams play game after game after game, sometimes winning or losing four times in one day. Very rarely do teams ever hold a practice. Some programs fly in top players from out of state for a single weekend to join their team. Certain players play for one team in the morning and another one in the afternoon. If mom and dad aren’t happy with their son’s playing time, they switch club teams and stick him on a different one the following week. The process of growing as a team basketball player — learning how to become part of a whole, how to fit into something bigger than oneself — becomes completely lost within the AAU fabric.”
@kminnicksports PVI with 8 losses ranked 3 is questionable. Typical PVI teams have a few great athletes, pull off a few big wins during the season, but then default to undisciplined basketball and underperform or rather predictably lose games to disciplined well-coached teams.
Still in awe of the @libertyfh defense and how they put their bodies on the line during the post-season - really putting the “whatever it takes” principle into practice! #NotAboutMe ❤️💙🫡https://t.co/iyHmsQziqq
@racheldawson8@BigTenNetwork It was upsetting to see how poor the Big 10 coverage was for all of the NCAA tournament games. Many of these games would have had better coverage with an iphone. This needs to be fixed for next season.
