College recruiting

From the coach's side of the desk

Families ask me the same questions every year. When do we start? Who do we email? Does that showcase matter? I have sat on the college side of those emails, so my answers come from there.

About

Hi, I'm Scott.

I have coached in the Western New York all star game for more than twenty years. I was the head women's soccer coach at Hilbert College, and I helped run a youth club's operations: tryouts, registration nights, volunteer schedules, all of it.

Soccer Home is where I write that work down, so the next coach can skip the blank page. If a page would not help a volunteer coach on a Tuesday night, it stays out of the shop.
