Reply to "Talking to coaches at showcase"

Directly from the FAQ's on the Headfirst site:


When is a good time for our son to talk to a college coach?

One of the unique parts of the way that Headfirst runs our Honor Roll Camps is the interaction that each camper can have with the college coaches at the camp. Many of the college coaches are on the fields coaching and evaluating. Those that are working the camp will do so wearing their uniform and will be accessible to the players. It is important, however, that campers are respectful of the college coaches when they are clearly evaluating and concentrating on their on-field recruiting. The best time for a camper to approach a college coach is in the dugout or around the facility between games. It is far more effective if the players (rather than parents) introduce themselves to a coach if they are potentially interested in their school. Campers should feel free to ask the college coaches questions about their school and program.

Should we (parents) talk to the college coaches?

It is okay for parents to join a conversation with their son a college coach. However, it is important that the camper is the one showing the initiative in the conversation. It is, ultimately, the student-athlete’s college experience and the college coaches are always looking for mature student-athletes who can ask their own questions and speak to a college coach themselves about their interests.
