Most athletes spend years training their bodies for college scouts. But the coaches doing the recruiting are quietly screening for something else entirely.

After 14 years as a head volleyball coach, I watched talented athletes get removed from recruiting lists - not because of skill gaps, but because of what happened between the plays.

👋🏼 I'm Coach Bre, a mental performance coach for girl athletes, Co-Founder of The Elite Competitor, and a head volleyball coach and 4-time state champion.

In this episode, I'm breaking down 5 things college coaches look for beyond talent:
✅ How she responds after mistakes (and what coaches are really watching)
✅ What her body language says when things aren't going her way
✅ How she treats her teammates under pressure
✅ How she interacts with her parents and coaches at events
✅ Whether she performs when the moment gets big - or plays it safe

Every single one of these is trainable. I'm also breaking down the Snapback Routine - the simple reset system athletes use to bounce back faster than their sport requires.

If she has the talent, let's make sure the rest of her game matches it.
