For a 2017, now is the time to get your ducks in a row and prepare for those emails and calls, and start executing on your plan.

Having said that, sitting 75-78 right now may not be an attribute that you'll want to promote to your target audience, even if from the left side. Your recruiting plan may be sound, but your product may not be competitive. You have to ask yourself: how competitive is my "product", and should I start marketing my product that may not compare well to others?

There are two factors you need to consider when looking to win in the recruiting marketplace: a strong marketing plan, and a competitive product.

Suggestion: take the off season to build arm strength through a reputable velo program, and get stronger/bigger with the help of a personal trainer. If your son is able to add 5 MPH so that he's sitting 80-83 and touching 85-86 from the left side by the end of the Spring, then you have a very strong product to market at the right time.
