I'm not sure if this has been covered already or not. (I know that there is a thread in the Ohio/KY/PA Forum that asks how your son got there)
As I go and read over some threads there seems to be a couple reoccuring trends;
1.) Son did all the work, got himself where he's at now
2.) Parent did all the work (sent the letters off, talked to the Coaches on his behalf, composed lists of schools for him to go to etc., all the son did was meet the Coach and say Yes, or sign his name
3.) Collaboration, both Parent and Son worked together to get the scholarship
4.) Parent was the 'driving' force behind son to go and get where he's at now
5.) Son did the work, but asked Parents for guidance on sticky subjects
If you're up there which one was it?
I was found by my school, but prior to that I did all the leg work myself, there was times I wished that I had someone in my corner that knew the process.
If you did all the work (sent the letters off, talked to the Coaches on his behalf, composed lists of schools for him to go to etc.) for your son, do you feel that was the best way to get him playing College ball or you would of liked for your son to of been involved more in the process so that he could get experience in networking and meeting new people?
Do you wish that you were more involved in his quest?
Or do you wish that you didn't have to stand over him and remind him to make the calls, return the questionaries?
I was just curious to get a rough census as to what people have done, or are currently doing out there.
