A head coach and assistant went to do two home visits in New Jersey. In the first home visit the coaches started the visit and towards the end they showed a video they brought to enlighten the prospect and the parents of their university. The visit went well and as everyone shared goodbyes the assistant coach picked up the video and stuffed it in her brief case for the next visit.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/rss-comments-entry-1791079.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>RECRUITING OVER CURRENT PLAYERS</title><category>General</category><dc:creator>Way Veney</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 11 Apr 2008 15:21:46 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/2008/4/11/recruiting-over-current-players.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">174962:1669200:1754715</guid><description><![CDATA[We all know that the recruiting process can be very cut throat. Most coaches don't like to admit this but every single one of us have made a <span class="caps">MISTAKE </span>in recruiting. The reasons may have been the prospect actually wasn't talented enough to help, lack of commitment, lack of work ethic, or an academic issue. Whatever the reasons may have been we are responsible for making the decision so what do you do about it?]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/rss-comments-entry-1754715.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>REFLECTING BACK ON A FEW FIRST!</title><category>General</category><dc:creator>Way Veney</dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 01 Apr 2008 19:43:17 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/2008/4/1/reflecting-back-on-a-few-first.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">174962:1669200:1730649</guid><description><![CDATA[Today I would like to take a trip down memory lane and reflect on some of the FIRST of my career as a recruiter.&nbsp; Sometimes in order to move forward you have to reflect on the past, even if it's for no other reason but to remind you of how far you've come.&nbsp; I remember the FIRST recruiting note I wrote to a prospect.&nbsp; No exaggeration that first note took over an hour to write because I would start and rip it up and start over again.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/rss-comments-entry-1730649.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>TRANSFERS</title><category>Attracting Prospects</category><dc:creator>Way Veney</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 20 Mar 2008 16:08:58 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/2008/3/20/transfers.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">174962:1669200:1701285</guid><description><![CDATA[There are so many angles to target in the recruiting process but I think often times people don't really utilize the option to recruit transfers.  First of all, I always like to tell people that if you spend countless amount of hours recruiting a prospect out of high school and they opt not to come to your program make sure that that bridge is never burned.  More often than not young people decide for whatever reason that they want out of the decision they made.]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/rss-comments-entry-1701285.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>RECRUITING INJURED ATHLETES</title><dc:creator>Way Veney</dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 08 Mar 2008 03:34:45 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/2008/3/8/recruiting-injured-athletes.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">174962:1669200:1655753</guid><description><![CDATA[Often times coaches find themselves in tough situations regarding recruiting.&nbsp; One of the most difficult decisions a coach may have to face is when&nbsp;one of your top&nbsp;recruits suffers a major injury.&nbsp; Does the coach continue to recruit the prospect, hoping that the player&nbsp;will fully recover&nbsp;or&nbsp;do you bring the recruiting process to an end?]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/rss-comments-entry-1655753.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>PLAY WITH PASSION OR PAY YOUR OWN WAY!</title><category>Coaches</category><dc:creator>Way Veney</dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 29 Feb 2008 13:49:13 +0000</pubDate><link>http://gameonsystems.squarespace.com/coachescornerblog/2008/2/29/play-with-passion-or-pay-your-own-way.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">174962:1669200:1625993</guid><description><![CDATA[I've been communicating with a lot of my coaching buddies and across the board they are disgruntled with the passion their players possess for their sport. The thing that is difficult for coaches is we are not only passionate about our sport we <span class="caps">LIVE </span>our sport. I also think it's almost impossible to be successful or happy doing anything in life you aren't passionate about.
