For families and athletes navigating the recruiting proves can be stressful, exhausting, and confusing. The key is to look at the recruiting process from a coaches perspective.   They are 2 main players in the recruiting process Sellers(athletes/parents/scouts) and Buyers(College Coaches/Recruiters).  In order to win at the recruitment game you must understand 1 key ingredient and that is VALUE. Yes VALUE you must know who you are selling yourself to. The way you can stand out is matching yourself colleges that are looking for the VALUE you bring to the table. For example if you are a great 3pt shooter a team that struggles from behind the arc will consider you a lot more valuable than a team full of 3pt shooters.  What VALUE do you bring? Is it size ,strength, speed, shooting, defense, rebounding,passing, dribbling. First you must assess yourself know your strengths and weaknesses and see how you compare to other players in the marketplace.   The goal of recruiting should be to find the right fit for yourself and that athletically, academically, and socially. Of course everyone wants to play big time basketball 🏀 but that takes big time skills. You must be elite at a particular skill you don’t have to be the best basketball player but you have to have an elite skill. Also you must meet the requirements academically and have a certain level of maturity.   The bigger the stage the more pressure to succeed. There’s millions of dollars being invested. Receiving a basketball scholarship is reward for a huge sacrifice from athletes and there families. There needs to be thousand of thousands of hours invested in order to achieve a scholarship. It’s no different from deciding to be a doctor or a lawyer there has to be a high level of focus and discipline and more importantly KNOWLEDGE & EXPERIENCE.   You don’t want to miss out on your dreams because of a lack of knowledge.  You don’t want to be one of thousand that miss out on their opportunity....... https://www.dreamscoutingnetwork.com/...
