For the unbiased assessment we started with her club coach. We let her know our priorities: 1. Good education 2. Our daughter wanted to play, not sit the bench 3. We were not focused on any particular Division and were completely open to D1, D2, or D3. This took the pressure off the club coach as she did not feel like she needed to push D1 to justify the club costs.
Lacrosse is also a fairly small community so we took advantage of some local high school varsity coaches we know as well as a local college coach we know very well to get their assessment of our daughter based on their observation of her play.
We compared this with the club coaches assessment and they matched.
Maybe not 100% unbiased but it helped. |
