College Recruiting with Jill Hicks

Is your gymnast prepared and confident to speak on their own behalf on June 15th or do they fear they are going to look like they are bragging? Are you as the parent ready for college coaches questions? This part of recruiting can be a deal breaker and we want you prepared. This is the time for your gymnast to shine and compete for a spot on a team or a scholarship.

This podcast gives the athlete and parent items to think about as to why most gymnasts struggle with speaking directly to the college coaches and how they can build confidence prior to that first conversation.

I always say recruiting is like a roller coaster ride. Lots of ups and downs throughout the journey. Audrey was on her way to a Division 1 team and encountered a few injuries. Ultimately, she decided it was best to not pursue college gymnastics. While not easy I so appreciate Audrey being willing to let us into her story. She is strong, smart and took the time to make the best decision for her future. I can't wait to see where she lands for college and all the doors that I believe will open in her life even without doing sports.

Thank you Audrey!

Today's episodes highlights the importance of both the college coach and the recruit to focus on being honest in the recruiting process. Jill shares tips on how to navigate the challenges of know when you are getting the truth and when it can "feel" like the the college coach may not have been honest.

At JH Consulting we like to give our clients specific questions to ask the college coach to go a little deeper and get to know the culture of the team and how it operates "really" after you arrive.

We all want the experience of college to be a great one. I believe it starts with a relationship of honesty.
