PRI Talk

This is a very important part of our emails.  100% necessary to make the life of a coach simpler.  They should be able to find your information in every email you send, NOT in just your original.   For more information on sending emails take a look at this blog post https://www.privolleyball.com//post/recruiting-email-etiquette

I get asked the question a lot, "Who should we email?"  I answer that question briefly here.  For more information on this topic, head to my blog on https://www.privolleyball.com/blog

On the call with one of my former players and friend Stephanie James; we are talking about volleyball, family and other things! 

Today I want to talk about gymnastics, volleyball and silly things I see get posted on instagram.  

I've always said that the HS season in TX is as long as the D1 volleyball season, but is this a true statement?  Find out today on the podcast.  

Today we are talking about the AAU tournament and I explain to you why sandbagging isn't the worst thing in the world.  

This is a question I get a lot and right now there are a lot of things going on and a lot of variables to consider.  

So far so good! Remember to check out my blog on PRIVolleyball.com for more info on the recruiting process.  

Excited to have John Forman on the podcast with me today.  We are talking about some of the differences and similarities between the NCAA levels.  For more info from John check out his FB page and website.   https://www.facebook.com/coachingvolleyball/ https://coachingvb.com/

Very excited to have on the podcast with me today, one of my former HS players, Kailey Gieck. Find out more about what she is doing now!  https://www.apresink.com/ https://iksplor.com/

With 900+ athletes on the portal as of last week, is this going to be the trend going forward?

Welcome Back!  Today we are looking at what determines your athletes playing time and how this correlates with the rule of 1%.  

Today we are talking about what your input is and what your output is going to be.  Based on all of the hours, time and energy, realistically you get about 1% of what you put into something.  I'll break that down and talk about what it looks like from the recruiting side.  

We hit a couple of personal and family milestones this week; and the most important recruiting question is still on the table (if never left) and transfers are having to answer it. 

We all cried tears of JOY when we found out the Dead Period would be over on June 1st.  For questions about what this looks like or for help in the recruiting process, head to PRIVolleyball.com

Not a ton of volleyball talk here.  For those that know me what I'm saying won't be a huge surprise, so for those of you that don't know me very well, maybe this will help.  

Cover it all today!  From the NCAA basketball women's "weight room", to the recruiting dead period to the idea that we need to do a better job of NOT wasting time during the recruiting process.  Enjoy! :) 

I received a great question this past week from a 2023 athlete.  I try to answer that question as best as I can.  There are a lot of variables in recruiting, especially now, so please do your best to make sure that you are letting coaches know HOW interested you are in their program.  

When should you ask the scholarship question?  I'll answer this and give you some insight into the grey that are the NCAA rules.  

Today I discuss why we need to go beyond thinking about a "list" of schools needs.  

This week I am talking about only a FEW of the recruiting issues going on right now.  Tackling the dead period, social media and the idea that something difficult is still difficult.  

Today on the show I talk about the feathers I apparently ruffled when it came to my blog post about athletes not really touching 10', that NOW is a great time to work on your film and the opportunities out there for athletes right now gets smaller and smaller each day.  

Today on the podcast I've got Head Volleyball Coach for Lovejoy High School, Ryan Mitchell.  A back-to-back State Champion, Ryan and I talked about what the season looked like under the umbrella of COVID.  Unfortunately I did remove the last 15 minutes or so from our conversation because of the lag, but I will plan on having Ryan on again in the near future to talk more.  Huge thank...

In this present recruiting climate, take advantage of the interest you are getting from each school, even though it might not be your first choice.  

In announcement yesterday afternoon, Triple Crown said they were postponing their tournament until May.  This is a HUGE bummer for all of those athletes that were hoping to get evaluated next month and certainly does not start the club volleyball season on a positive trend.
