Proper Etiquette

Why do you have your sons accomplishments listed under your post?  Are you hoping that some scout or coach will take notice here on the HSBBW?  I would abandon the info that you have posted. 

 

If the coach liked what your son did and he wants to communicate with him he will, other than that, I would save the questions for another day.

 

 I am a proud father of his accomplishments that is why I have it in my Sig. and email Sig. I 'm Networking and Marketing...If I didnt put that in my Sig. then how will you know about him...  just a proud dad .. I know it doesnt mean much to most.

So why to Doctors put MD after the name...?

Will all that said, he still needs to pass the eye test on the field...

thanks,

Joe

Oh my!

JH, 

Thank you..its just knowing when to break the ice and start a convo with a school coach

of your interest if they are there at a game..

yeah at some tournaments it 42 teams x 15 -18 kids per team...

many kids can get lost in the soup.. unless you are throwing 90's plus...

*side note my son doesnt pitch.*

 

Thanks again.

 

TPM,

Dont mean to rock the boat...with all the extra text / Sig..

Thanks,

Joe

 

I got to go the CWS is gettign ready to start...8pm.

have a good night ot all...

No it is not working as I did not go to tbe berecruited site to look up your son.
You asked about proper etiquette......
You want to market your son properly or make it look cheap?

jlaro - I get where you're coming from in that you're proud of your son because you should be but so is every other parent on this site.  If everyone put a resume of their kid on all their posts it would get very old trying to hunt through to find what the person is posting.

 

At the end of the day the "all" this or that doesn't matter because you never know the level of talent you're competing against.  Don't get me wrong they are great honors to be proud of but they don't mean a hill of beans in getting attention.  What matters is "do you have the talent to compete at whatever level?" and can you be seen by the right people

jlaro- I did take a look at the BeRecruited profile. The only piece of information listed there that may be beneficial is the short video clip you posted of your son's swing. I think the point TPM was trying to make was that all the accolades and statistics and awards are just noise. As a talent evaluator, I get tons of unsolicited emails and messages from people asking for a chance. Sifting through the "noise" is pretty time consuming. No one will recruit your son based on an online profile. I don't mean to sound harsh, but talent evaluators need to evaluate talent, not resumes. 

 

Also, I'd like to point out that there are instances where I will be attending a game with other talent evaluators, and we will purposely steer clear of a particular parent or two because of their overbearing nature. I'm not saying you fall under this umbrella (I don't know you, I can't pass judgment on someone I don't know). But, know that it does exist and it's not a good thing.

 

+1 coach and JH.
My son would have been livid if he knew that I posted info about him on a message board.  Spend a bit of money at a good showcase and then use that evaluation to market the player.  Getting a good rating with reliable company can open lots of doors. Attend good tournaments where you will be seen.  Don't cheapen your players ability or talents advertising on a free message board site.
I think parents just have to calm down sometimes and educate themselves about the positive and negatives (do's and dont's) of recruiting.

Can you imagine if we all included sons' accolades in our sig?

 

Whew!

 

They're right, jlaro. Really - you should lose it.

 

I've always loved something my Dad said: When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

TPM,

 What can you recommen, we are doing all the summer tournaments, going to PG event in Atlanta and in Lexington...

I had a coach tell all of us parents that I get 1000's of emails and videos.. send me something that makes your palyer stand out.???   WHAT IS THAT... ?

 

sorry my Sig. info under my name looks cheap to you .. but thats all I can afford, the rest goes into bats, gloves, showcases, etc...

 

 

I'll include my own:

 

-J H

Former decent pitcher.

I watch way too much baseball for my own good.

 

Emails including videos of REALLY GOOD baseball players. 

 

LOL...yes please lets all post accolades, is there a forum for that...LOL

Look above  NO accolades... its gone... 

if you didnt like them in the 1st place why didnt you say so...

 

ok back to watching the CWS.

relax, j.

 

no one is intending to hurt. just trying to help.

Go to golden thread.  Post your info under identify your player..use all of the bandwidth you want.
I did say it was inappropriate but you laughed it off.
Ha Ha back at ya.

JH that was really funny.

Thank you, sounds like something I need to work on.. asap!
