What role should parents play in recruiting? Bates WBB's Alison Montgomery 👇 🏀 Athletes should lead “I want to recruit women who are driving the process... In a lot of cases, this is maybe the first big decision they’ve ever made. I want to feel like their love of basketball and their pursuit of this specific school is driven by them.” 🏀 Parents can still be involved “I also know we need to be partners,” she said. “The way their parents are supporting them, the advice they’re giving them, it really matters to them.” Her summary: “I do want parents who are the right amount engaged, which I know that’s a really gray answer.” 🏀 Recruiting the entire family “I am all about recruiting families,” she said. “It’s a huge sacrifice, this phase, no matter how that pans out for families in terms of how much they’re paying or how much they’re traveling... So I want that experience to be really great for them too.” #d3hoops | @BatesSports
