What should parents’ role be in their child’s recruiting process?

CAPTIONS:

“A parent’s instinct is to do what they can to help their child. When it comes to college recruiting, it often is best to take a step back from that instinct. 

Athletes need to be in charge of their recruiting process and need to be driving their recruiting bus. Mom and dad also should not be in the front seat of the recruiting bus telling the athlete, ‘Turn here, turn there, slow down, go faster, let’s go here.’ 

Mom and dad are on the bus for support, but they should not be driving the bus or in the front seat. Parents, remember this: Colleges want to get to know your son/daughter and know he/she is the one that’s interested in playing in college at their school, and it’s not just mom or dad pushing it.”
