I have coached A level for almost 10 years now and I see the same thing EVERY tryout season. These "used car salesman" so called coaches/organizations that tell them they are going to be a "Showcase" team and are going to get these kids recruited - When in fact they have no clue how to do it.
Stop falling for this!!
I have seen some great players never make it just because they believed these sales pitches
I want to start a list of coaches that HAVE REALLY DONE IT- Not just once but year after year
In no particular order and I don't know all of them in Ohio but have a good idea of the ones I have seen year after year.
Mike Libecap- (Myself) Doom- -- Now recruiting for Central Ohio Pride-
Justin Smith Central Ohio Pride
Joe Ogg- Central Ohio Pride
Tim Shepherd- Outlaws, Doom
Rona Dorsey- Bandits
Allphin/Caudill- Doom
Tim Gregory-Doom
Jeff Hill- Doom
Mark Santos - Valley Storm and Doom
Doug Lenos - Hawks
Jaime Wolf - Wolfpack
Tim Adams- Hawks
Hutchinson- Hawks-
Julie Joseforsky- Hawks
Warren Wolf- Outlaws - I know Warren has had some other coaches in the org do it but not sure of their names
Russ Smith- Ohio Thunder
Chris Lucas- Lasers

Shawn Bray- Team Ohio (Now Lasers)
Mike Mease- Team Ohio (Lourdes Asst. Coach)

I know there may be some others and if they have done it MORE THAN ONCE please add their name below
I'm just tired of seeing these great players have no clue what to do to get recruited and people lying!
I had a great player come to tryouts that played on a so called Showcase team that didnt even know how to make a skills video, what to say in a introduction email or what to do at a camp to stand out..
