Maximize your summer

Using the summer months to maximize your game is a tri-fold approach.

Part 1: Athletes who are serious ahould be using this time to train, for example I host morning boot-camp style workouts with exercises focused specifically to the athlete/sport. This begins with essential cardio to build stamina to then transition into strength, speed, and agility training. It's all about power, not so much skills in the summer.

Part 2: Using the summer to get your name and skill set to prospective coaches is an essential element to this season. Most college coaches like you, don't have school so it's heavy-recruitment time. It is essential to send your summer competition schedule to coaches NOW (May) so you can get on their travel list.

It is helpful to have a video to se d along with your summer games to entice coaches to come recruit you.

Part 3: Competing in the summer is essential because during your high school season these prospective college coaches were also competing. So they likely didn't get to see you play. **Make sure if you are playing in a recruitment tournament that you not only send your game schedule to coaches you like, but each of these tournaments typically has a list of "attending coaches". Scan ths list, even look into some of the schools you have never heard of and email and additional coaches your cover letter, video, resume, and game schedule.


Good Luck, ***make it your goal to get the most out of THIS summer.
