Recruiting Realities coming back to South Kitsap
March 4th, 2013 by nathan joyceJack Renkens is a recruiting expert who travels around to teach
athletes and their parents the realities of college recruiting.
He’s coming to South Kitsap on March 25 at 7 p.m. at the
auditorium.
It’s a 60-minute presentation and worth seeing if you or your child
is hoping to play at the next level.
I attended his presentation last time he was in Port Orchard.
Here’s what I wrote at the time.

Nathan,
I’ve attended several of Mr. Renkens’ seminars. I encourage any parent who has aspirations of their kids playing a sport in college to attend. It’s great information. He speaks very “matter of fact”. Great information.

Mr. Tomlinson,
Hopefully its not the parents aspirations but the athletes.
They have got to want it. The colleges will find your athlete
and make them an offer. Find a good club program, they will promote your child to the right college. Our High School sports in this area are basically looked over. The schools do not promote them, it’s not in their contract. Find a good club in your respective sport and they will find where you belong.

Mr. Grey,
As a “Club” coach, I recommend that ANY/EVERY parent and prospective student attend the seminar. Its free information.. There is a lot of misconceptions about college recruiting. Parents who leave college recruiting in the hands of their “Club” sport coaches tend to miss out as well. The club sports coaches/teams/organizations to do NOT find where the players belong.. They are just vessel in which college coaches can come to and get information about their players. Ultimately, it falls on the child and the parents to find out whats important to them when it comes to colleges (scholarships, costs, fit, etc).
The one thing I will agree with you, is that most high school coaches do not go out and actively recruit for their players. I will say that some do..
All I’m saying, is go and learn…! Information is free and invaluable. Trust me, of the 16 players that play for me during the summer, 15 are playing their sport in college next year.
