DDs team was at Compuware this past weekend and the college coaches were all over the place. All of the divisions were covered. All were very cordial and, as a coach, I was able to talk to some about what we, as coaches and teams, should be doing to help the girls get recruited.
I was in the college coaches tent talking with another travel coach and a young lady from a high profile 18U team (not an Ohio team) stormed into the tent yelling, screaming, and crying at her coach/dad about a problem that had occured. We were incredulous. Everyone was looking at each other thinking "Is this really happening?" It took about 30 seconds for a tournament official to usher the involved individuals out of the tent but the damage was done. The college coaches were flipping through their player lists and crossing this young lady off of their list. I wish I would have had a movie camera so that our ladies could see how a 30 second lapse of judgement can have a great effect on their recruiting efforts.
