Just because the coach doesn’t play your child doesn’t mean they dislike them. A coach can care deeply about your child, both as a player and person, without agreeing with your assessment of their talent.
Good morning.

Although we didn’t obtain the hardware we came for in Chicago, we still came out 5-1, not bad! Shoulda…Coulda…Woulda, but the growth and camaraderie are priceless. Some of my clips from the weekend. @RL_Hoops @VWBAelite @BeltonHoops

Coach: “We’d love to offer you”
Recruit: “Thanks coach, that means a lot!”
Then the recruit hangs up and tells the whole family he got an offer.
Weeks later he tries to commit.
And the coach says the spot is gone.
Or that it was never a committable offer in the first place.
Now he is confused, hurt, and behind.
Here is what nobody told him.
You need to ask these 3 questions when you get an offer:
First: “Is this a committable offer?”
If the answer is no, you have interest, not an offer.
Good to know now instead of after you turn down other schools.
Second: “How long is the offer on the table?”
Offers have expiration dates.
Most recruits never find out until the spot is filled.
Third: “What are the next steps from here?”
This tells you if the coach is actually moving you forward or just keeping you warm.
Three questions.
And you go from guessing to knowing.
Do not let one excited moment cost you the truth about where you stand.
Been heavy on the “say yes and figure the rest out later”
$10 find but didn’t know how I’d ship it
Said yes and paid a local company $25 to package it for me
Shipped fully insured and netted over $1,100
Took less than 5 hours of my time
Closer and closer to $20k months 📈
Been a quiet offseason so far with very little movement
Still patiently waiting and available if the right opportunity comes open

Tom Brady: “You need coaches that push you outside your comfort zone because that’s how you grow and that’s how you develop self confidence and self esteem. They push you to deal with failure.”
