Recruiting
|
One of our greatest responsibilities as coaches is to get our athletes to the next level. While the vast majority of our athletes will never play a down beyond high school football, it is our duty to ensure the kids who can; have every opportunity to reach the next level. Some coaches view getting to the next level as the athletes/parents responsibility. It is my view that getting athletes to the next level is the coaches responsibility; because you cannot rely on inexperienced high school students or inexperienced parents to manage and navigate the intricacies of recruiting.
It is our responsibility because a lot of the athletes who can go on to play college football may not have the means or support necessary to go to college and advance their education on their own. Many of the players I have coached may not have had that opportunity if a coach hadn't been in their corner working for them. If we can get a kid to a better stage in life by promoting him, then we will do everything that we can. It has been my privilege to work with some fantastic student athletes and the extremely hard working fantastic coaching staffs. As a result I have worked with over 20+ athletes who have received college scholarships to play at the next level and receive a college education. As a Head Football coach I will tiresly promote our players. If they have a desire to play at the next level we will do the best we can to find them somewhere to go. |
