I as a parent, wanted my son to get some feedback from the camp. It is amazing that very very few
of them he attended had a personal one-on-one coach feedback session. Furman summer camp that he attended when he was younger did, but the later ones did not. Many of the ID camps ended with a
"Thanks for coming, have a nice day". I thought to myself, you got to be kidding me. I spend $100-$200 just to register, then hours of travel and food and all I get was "Have a nice day". So I made my son send a follow up email to all the coaches asking for feedback. Also, we only attended ID camps that he had sent an "I am interested in your soccer program" email with his soccer resume attached. So the feed back was in this train of emails.
So what did he get back.... in many cases nothing. Often it took several emails. I one case 8 emails to assistant coaches... the finally one to the head coach. I had searched the web in hidden corners to find his college address. Only when this email was sent did a reply come back from the assistant coach.
And you can guess what the replies were. Basically we are not interested in you. The would often site your strong points... but in the end they would list several common excuses for not offering you a place. I have mentioned them already. And they came from multiple coaches, "Impact on the match", "Speed of play" and "physicality for this league". So most of the responses were negative.
So as this begins to pile up, you have to step back and evaluate where you are. "Maybe my son is not good enough?"
