Welcome to Episode 52 — Our Recruiting Journeys with Jeff Lerg & Natalie Ferenc … brought to you by Vaughn Custom Sports!
Today, host Jeff Lerg and our producer Natalie Ferenc sit down and discuss their recruitment process in committing and playing at Division 1 universities.
Episode 52 highlights:
- How recruitment has revealed significant changes in modern college sports such as NIL and the number of athletes in the transfer portal, emphasizing that modern athletes are "always being recruited" rather than just during traditional recruitment periods in youth.
- Both Jeff and Natalie walk through when they first started to get recruited, what the process looked like for them, and when they committed.
- The importance of dominating at your current level.
- They highlighted key recruiting characteristics including being coachable, reliable, trustworthy, and a good teammate. Coaches avoid players who are overly confident without proof, cocky, or create headaches regardless of skill level.
- How consistent performance and character development remain crucial throughout the process.
- Differences in men's and women's recruitment to college hockey.
