A coach explains how he reverse-engineers recruiting by looking at a player's current stats—scoring average, class rank, grade level—then prescribes specific steps to improve their chances. High scorers need tournament exposure; younger academic standouts need different moves.
When I'm coaching a student, I'm just reverse engineering this process and identifying where your child is at in this process, um, and telling them, hey, here's what you need to do, um, based on your current skill level, right? If your child is scoring average of 85, you better believe I'm not telling you, well, you know, the key is playing the Rolex Tournament of Champions. Different approach, right? Now, if your child is already ranked 20th in their class and they're in 8th grade, yeah, like we're going to talk a lot about, you know, how to position your child so that they're in a position where they can play in some of these invitations. We're going to be talking about what do we need to do the scoring average to be able to get that low enough, or we're going to be able to qualify into these easily, right? Those things start to matter a lot more. It just depends on where you're at. And so the beauty of kind of the way that I approach things, the stuff on this channel that do it, um, that talks about this, is it's dynamic based off of where your child is at.
