EP 68: How to Communicate with College Coaches

Kathy Connor, a decorated collegiate swimmer in the 80s, is back with us.  She is a college planning expert and we continue the conversation about the four elements of choosing the school with the best fit. In this episode, Jon Fugler and Kathy center on the athletic fit.  If you missed the first three elements, be sure to listen to Episode 67 first. Recruiting isn't a science, but it involves human relationships.  Kathy confirms that in the advice she gives parents and athletes.  She draws on her work with hundreds of families as she shares her thoughts with Jon. Families often have their sights set in the wrong direction, so Kathy's words will give you some valuable insight so your focus is on the right things. One of the highlights of this episode is how Kathy says an athlete should respond when he or she is turned down by the coach.  You'll be surprised at her answer.
