Marcela (opens her eyes and points to me): "Wherever he is add 2000 miles"
My DD chose a school 2600 miles away.
Coincidence?
I think not.

ally,Perfectly fine to not know if she wants to play in college or not. Why not start the process anyway just in case? Creating a profile and sending out emails isn’t that hard or time consuming. Maybe she can get some help getting started?

Actually, she has already set up a profile and e-mailed 10 colleges, during her Fall season. Then was given another assignment of coming up with 30 additional colleges, placed in 3 categories. She literally couldn't think of 30 colleges at this point. She's been honest about her confusion about playing in college. She's always been one that needs self confidence to perform well and this has made her feel bad about herself, like not being sure about playing in college makes her "less than". Not a optimal mind set to play. Anyway, it's fine. She gets it and just might bow out to make room for some other 14 year old that has her life planned out already.

Not many kids can think of 30 colleges. I know my daughter couldn't her freshman year of HS. We discussed where she wanted to be geographically - she said she hates Virginia, lol. Ok then where do you want to live kid. We focused on that because she doesn't have any idea what she really wants to do with her life either. She is going to go in as a psychology major because she can use that as a springboard to hopefully help her decide what she wants to do forever. She got online and found all the schools in the NE area near big metropolitan areas that she wanted to live in. She emailed all of them. Period. She had a top 10 but she emailed over 50 schools - then winter of this year (Junior year) she visited UMBC and fell in love. She continued to email every other school but I guess put more love out that way, lol, because that is now where she is committed to play. My point is - they don't know what they want to do but if they love playing it doesn't hurt to have them start. Because coaches ARE looking at 9th graders to add to their boards for future plans.

ally,
Well, she has just turned 15 so, late bloomer I guess. LOLAt age 14?!? That's nuts. I'd put some distance between that coach and my daughter as in find another team.
Sounds like her coach is trying to go with the " shotgun" approach to try and get the players recruited at any school as opposed to doing what's right for them. Might be either ego or organizational pressure. IDK.Actually, she has already set up a profile and e-mailed 10 colleges, during her Fall season.

ally,
The truth is there are players that are capable of playing at D1 schools and choose not to do so for various reasons. What's worse is there are players that are not capable of playing D1 but have been led to believe anything less is a failure. Thats sad.
