This morning a father of a '27 player in my program called upset. His son has only heard from D3 and some D2 coaches. He wants D1.
Here's what I tried to explain:
• His son is a corner outfielder. It's the LAST position college coaches recruit for.
• At the D1 level, coaches over-recruit shortstops and move them to the outfield.
• Many D1 coaches wait for the transfer portal in December to see what outfielders are available before they commit a roster spot to a high school kid.
He hung up on me.
Parents, D2 and D3 interest is not a failure. It's real interest from coaches who want your son. Position matters. Timing matters. Know the landscape.

A man was asked to leave his local football league after 14 years because the team captain claimed he was making everyone uncomfortable.
He was confused. He wasn't fighting with anyone, missing matches, or causing trouble.
He simply refused to let the captain collect everyone's monthly fees in cash without keeping records.
At the next meeting, the captain told the players they could either support him or find another team. Nobody spoke up until a quiet player at the back asked where last season's missing £900 had gone.

So you don’t like the price of gas? Answer me this. Who shut down the Keystone pipeline? Who shut down the off shore drilling? Who shut down the drilling in Alaska? Who shut down the Line 5 in Michigan? Who shut down drilling on Federal Land? Sorry windmills and solar panels do not put gas in your cars. Oh, how many refineries have closed in the last 5 years?

If I go soft on you after a tough loss, (so I don't "hurt your feelings"), I'M FAILING YOU as a coach.
If I let character issues “slide” after a big win (so I don’t “rock the boat”), I'M FAILING YOU as a coach.
Our job is to EMPOWER you (win or lose), to KEEP GETTING BETTER!

You want a guarantee? I got one.
• I guarantee if you don't do the work, you won't get the reward.
That's the only guarantee.
Everything else has to be earned in the uncertainty of the competitive environment.
