Don't Stress: Get Help with the College Lacrosse Recruiting Process

Here's how to Support Without Taking Over

Parents play a huge role in the college lacrosse recruiting process, but it’s easy to slip from support into stress. When parents take over, athletes tune out. When parents step back too far, athletes get lost. The key is finding the balance, staying organized, encouraging consistency, and letting the athlete’s personality lead.

Your job isn’t to run the recruiting process. It’s to create space so your athlete can own it.

Here’s how to help without taking over:

Stay Organized, Not Overbearing

Parents are natural trackers. Use that skill to manage calendars, showcase dates, and email logs. But don’t draft every message. Let your athlete write with their own voice, even if it’s imperfect. Coaches want to hear from them, not you.

Encourage Consistency

Help set aside weekly time for recruiting tasks — film updates, research, or outreach. Light nudges work better than constant reminders..

Focus on Fit, Not Fame

Many athletes chase logos. Parents can redirect the conversation to fit: playtime, academics, and culture. That perspective keeps the process grounded in reality.

Celebrate Small Wins

Every reply, film update, or new school on the list matters. Progress, not perfection, builds momentum.
