Episode 65: Talking About Money with Your Recruits

Coach, do you enjoy getting into the details of the monetary offer you or your college is going to be able to offer a prospect you're recruiting? Of course you don't. It's one of the most uncomfortable aspects of the job for the majority of college coaches who have to approach the topic with a teenage athlete and his or her parents. In this episode, we go over the powerful foundational principles for how to effectively approach the topic of paying for college, and how much that experience will end up costing on your campus. We'll take the mystery out of the process, and give you a firm understanding of what we see working best for coaches who are taking the lead in discussing this aspect of the decision with their prospect. Along with this episode, there's a great one we did a few years ago on the whole topic of cost and value, which has some important points you'd want to consider as you develop your strategy.
