🚨 Parents of High School Football Recruits One of the biggest mistakes I see in recruiting is when parents try to take over the process instead of supporting it College coaches are evaluating much more than film, statistics, and athletic ability. They are evaluating how a prospect communicates, handles adversity, interacts with others, and whether the family will be a positive fit within the program Over the years, I have seen talented players miss opportunities because of poor communication, unrealistic expectations, social media issues, constant parental involvement, or simply a lack of understanding of how recruiting actually works Some of the biggest mistakes parents make: 🔹 Speaking for their son during the recruiting process 🔹 Contacting coaches excessively 🔹 Treating camp invites as scholarship offers 🔹 Inflating height, weight, or testing numbers 🔹 Comparing their son to other recruits 🔹 Focusing too much on rankings and social media attention 🔹 Ignoring academic requirements 🔹 Chasing every camp without a recruiting plan 🔹 Becoming overly focused on NIL or one specific level of football 🔹 Creating unnecessary drama with coaches, programs, or teammates A camp invite is not an offer. Rankings do not determine a player’s future. More camps do not automatically lead to more opportunities. And playing at the highest level possible is not always the same as finding the right fit The best recruiting families: ✅ Allow their son to take ownership of the process ✅ Communicate professionally and respectfully ✅ Focus on academics as much as football ✅ Stay realistic about recruiting opportunities ✅ Trust the evaluation process ✅ Keep the focus on long term development and fit Parents should focus on helping their son become the best student, athlete, and young man possible. Be supportive, be realistic, trust the process, and allow your son to take ownership of his recruitment The families that navigate recruiting the best are usually the ones who stay humble, stay professional, and understand that recruiting is about finding the right fit, not winning a popularity contest 🏈 At the end of the day, the goal is not to win recruiting. It is to help your son find the right school, earn a degree, continue playing football, and create opportunities that will benefit him long after his playing days are over

Amateurs want to do what they love. Pros learn to love what it takes.

This moved me! Fear is often mistaken for danger. But sometimes fear is simply a signal that the opportunity is large enough to change your life. When Coach P. J. Fleck (@Coach_Fleck) was deciding whether to leave comfort for a bigger challenge, his wife asked one question: “Does it scare you?” “Hell yeah.” Her response: “We’re going.” 🦫 Coach Fleck says there is a difference between making a living and building a life. A living is what you earn. 💵 A life is what you create. 🏡 The decisions that scare you most often ask you to trade short-term comfort for long-term meaning. If it scares you, it means it matters. Growth rarely feels comfortable. Fear is not always a warning. Sometimes it is an invitation to build a life bigger than the one you’ve settled for. @GopherFootball has a great one. ⬇️
