PRI Talk

This week I am talking about only a FEW of the recruiting issues going on right now.  Tackling the dead period, social media and the idea that something difficult is still difficult.  

Today on the show I talk about the feathers I apparently ruffled when it came to my blog post about athletes not really touching 10', that NOW is a great time to work on your film and the opportunities out there for athletes right now gets smaller and smaller each day.  

Today on the podcast I've got Head Volleyball Coach for Lovejoy High School, Ryan Mitchell.  A back-to-back State Champion, Ryan and I talked about what the season looked like under the umbrella of COVID.  Unfortunately I did remove the last 15 minutes or so from our conversation because of the lag, but I will plan on having Ryan on again in the near future to talk more.  Huge thanks to him for being on in the midst of his busy schedule!   

In this present recruiting climate, take advantage of the interest you are getting from each school, even though it might not be your first choice.  

In announcement yesterday afternoon, Triple Crown said they were postponing their tournament until May.  This is a HUGE bummer for all of those athletes that were hoping to get evaluated next month and certainly does not start the club volleyball season on a positive trend.  

This is good thing for these schools and the WAC conference.  It will be interested to see how the Southland responds, if they respond at all.  Also, send more emails! :) 

We've got lots to talk about with the new year!  First off, talking a little bit about the transfer "issues" and what you need to do about recruiting when it comes to livestreams this club season.
