Coast LC Spotlight

We want to highlight an awesome event we had this month.

We had a positional clinic with some of the best & brightest coaching minds in the sport… and it went SO well.

Coaches from Denver University, San Diego State, and Notre Dame all gathered to give position-specific knowledge to our girls on a beautiful Friday night under the lights.

Thank you to everyone who attended!

As far as other news around the club… summer tryouts will be held on the first weekend in February. Stay tuned for details and summer team itineraries!

Recruiting tip of the Week

Communication is key.

Communicating effectively is a HUGE key for success at the next level (on the field and in the classroom.) When a coach calls you, are you ignoring it, or answering right on the first ring? If you can’t get to the phone, are you sending a quick text explaining why?

As an athlete, you are a member of a team. You are a small part of a big group, but you play a big role. On ANY successful sports team, every single person is on the same page.

As you start the new year… be conscious of how you’re communicating with the people in your life. Your parents, your teammates, your teachers, and your coaches. Be mindful of your delivery and your efficiency.

Your future self will thank you!

Quote of the Week
