Today we discuss the 2 major mistakes I see made in the recruiting process and tips on what the college coaches want to see on Instagram the most important place to show the coaches what you can do and who you are.  

JH Girls- It is very normal to send out emails and go to college summer camps, but we want you to make the very most of both these situations.  We also want your Instagram to reflect your amazing strengths not only in gymnastics but in life.  You are so much more than a gymnast.  You are all unique and have tremendous attributes to show these college coaches.  We need to start with the basics and then enhance and make your Instagram stand out .  Have fun with it, maybe create a bio video of yourself.

You are unique

You are special

Never let anyone tell you differently!!!   

Recruiting can seem so confusing and it is especially easy to compare yourself to others and wonder why you are not getting an offer.  There are actually so many variables and reasons a college coach may choose one recruit over another.  My hope is this podcast will encourage you to stay focused on what you do well and not look around at others.  You are unique and special and I believe will land at the college that is just right for you.

This can be a confusing topic, but very important in the recruiting process.  Timing is the key.  We want every JH Girl to have a shot at an athletic scholarship whether Division 1 or 2.  But there are so many opportunities to be had as a walk on.  I think you will enjoy this podcast, as most parents and athletes do not understand the timeline of when to ask about a "walk on " position.  Do not be afraid to ask the college coach questions about this possibility.  We love to build into our JH Girls the confidence to ask the tough questions.  You are not bothering the college coaches.  They prefer complete transparency.

1.  GOAL GUIDE BOOK

2.  COLLEGE CAMPUS GUIDE BOOK 

Sending off your student athlete to college can seem so fun and exciting at first.  But studies have shown that there are some topics you need to be discussing prior to their Freshman year to help them be successful.  Anxiety, depression and loneliness are 3 key factors most college students experience on some level.  Not knowing what to do or who to talk to can be the challenge.  Most universities have incredible support systems for their athletes.  Also, what kind of discussions can you have while they are still at home and what questions should you be asking?    All of this and more is part of this special podcast. 

Also, if you are headed to Washington for Best Darn College Camp, I review some of the ways you can standout in the crowd of all the recruits.
