Interview Details:
Latif Thomas interviews Ron Grigg (University of Jacksonville Director of Cross Country / Track & Field) on a range of topics related to how the pandemic has affected the college recruiting process with a focus on the specific actions HS coaches, parents, and athletes can take in order to increase and improve their opportunities to get recruited.
In this recording, Coach Grigg dispels many common misconceptions about how to get recruited in track and field, particularly those surrounding the popular myth that your actual meet performances (times / heights / distances) are enough information to provide sufficient information about an athlete’s ability and potential, particularly when each athlete is competing with countless other prospects with similar personal bests.
