She is on the 2015 purple and is committed to a Division 1 program. Remember its a group effort and it takes a lot of work on everyones part and the Smiths were great in every aspect. When they give the recruiting seminar I would make sure that you and your daughter attend and follow what they say. It makes all that traveling worthwile when the time comes and the recruiters are lining up on the sidelines to watch the Top Guns play. Stay committed to the program so it continues to develop and the Top Guns name is on everyones mind and it will be more than you expected.
Thanks for the advice. We're doing everything they suggested at the recruiting meeting, and looking forward to the process, going forward. It's great to hear that your daughter is also on a purple team, and going D1. People talk about how the black teams will get all the attention, and all the coaches watching. We're trying to target realistic, lower level D1 teams, and hoping to get to camps and clinics, at those schools. This way, we don't have to rely solely on her getting seen at the tournaments. Did you approach it this way, or was most of your activity and success a result of the TG tournaments?
I would say the best way to approach getting seen may depend on each individual player. Some athletes will look great at camps and clinics and even tryouts, but then completely disappear once the whistle blows, they would do better to display their skills during camps and clinics. Others disappear during such skill drills and combine stuff only to jump off the page during games, they would obviously best be viewed in a team game setting. One of the things these clubs shove down our throats is that all opportunities go through them, nonsense.
