The Dad's Basketball Blog: June 2008

This state of recruiting address delivered by George Raveling, Nike’s Director of Worldwide Operations, at the 2007 RCS Sports Parents and Coaches Recruiting Workshop is a classic that every parent and every player MUST listen to! If Junior wants to have a collegiate basketball career then STOP…don’t pass GO…don’t sign that letter of intent until you consider this information from Coach Reveling. Invest some time to listen now and received dividends for years to come.

Here are a few topics covered by Coach Raveling:

Developing a five year plan
Preparing for life, not just an athletic scholarship
Working WITH your player
Personal, academic and athletic development
Taking control of the recruiting process
