Show Notes

How should student-athletes navigate the recruiting process, or even just get recruited? And how has that changed over the years? Host T.J. Cotterill sits down with Monte Kohler, football coach and athletic director at Seattle's O'Dea High School, who pulled from his his dearth of experience having coached many college and even NFL-bound players over more than 35 years. Kohler, the state's winningest active high school football coach, also spoke about this year in particular and how the pandemic restrictions have dramatically altered the recruiting landscape, especially for this year’s seniors. And how coaches and athletes together should play an active role in owning the recruiting process.
