Going to a recruiting event this weekend?
Remember, coaches don't just watch when you're playing at your best
They also want to see how you respond when things are not going your way
Make sure to keep your head up, maintain good body language, and always support your team even when you aren't playing your best
Good luck out there! DM or comment below if you have recruiting questions ⬇️

Don't compare yourself to other recruits
- Not all "commitments" are for varsity
- Not all "athletic scholarships" are made equal
- You don't know what someone is paying
Celebrate others - Then run your own race and choose a school based on factors that matter to you!
