These are great questions, with my athletes I go over these and more before they even go on a visit. Athletes need to be trained to play the sport they love but have adult conversations as well
🧵 The 7 questions every family should ask a college coach on an official visit.
Not the polite ones every recruit asks. The ones that actually tell you what the next four years will look like.
After 35 years on both sides, these are the ones that separate the families who choose well from those who choose blind.
I believe that if your kid is young for their grade this is actually a fantastic option college recruiters don’t care about age they care about graduating year, if I had done this I would have had much better opportunities
SHOCKING: A growing number of middle school athletes — mostly boys — are intentionally repeating 8th grade to delay their start in high school, giving themselves another full year to get bigger, stronger, and faster, which in turn dramatically boosts their chances at elite high school spots, college scholarships, and massive NIL deals potentially worth millions.
William La Jeunesse: “Of 8M high school students in sports only 7% will play in college.”
“On the other hand, the [likely] number one pick in this year’s NBA draft, [AJ Dybantsa], did 8th grade twice.”
CRAZY IDEA: How about we let more kids be kids!
