Parent Recruiting Workshop

The amount of interest and feedback which I've received from parents as a result of my Dallas Morning News OpEd piece and this Blog has been quite positive. I'd like to take the transfer of knowledge about recruiting to the next level.

I am planning a Parent Recruiting Workshop on Thursday, April 9 at 7:00 pm at the Marriott Courtyard in Lewisville. As a contract sales trainer, I've trained hundreds of salespeople, and also trained Marine Recruiters on how to 'sell' the Marine Corps as a career choice, as well as a D-I college football coaching staff on how to sell their school to potential recruits.

This will be an interactive workshop. You will leave with knowledge and tools to market your student-athlete to college coaches. While the principal focus will be on football recruiting, many of the discussion points will be generic in nature.

What this event is not: It is not a ruse to get you to buy books, tapes, videos, or any other media, nor is it a scheme to get you to hire some recruiting consultant. (we'll actually discuss that pitfall in the workshop)

The parent investment to participate is $35. Registration deadline is April 2. To receive a Registration Form, email me at marauderdad@verizon.net
