As a coach, I want to know you as a person. Not just an athlete. I want to be able to talk to you about life. Not just softball. A lot of recruiting nowadays is about spotting the talent first. Which is understandable, and something I do first as well. But after that, I recruit the person. If I can’t have a conversation with you and can’t trust you OR your parents to represent our program well, I cant continue recruiting you. Thats honesty.
