Navigating "Drive Time" Recruiting Barriers
I wanted to ask about how geographic location impacts a staff's evaluation board, specifically regarding regional travel limitations.
While talking with several recruiting coordinators and position coaches lately, a recurring piece of feedback I've received is that their staff simply cannot approve long-distance travel for evaluations. Multiple coaches have mentioned they will travel up to a 4-hour radius, but a 14-hour drive to a state like Michigan is structurally too far for their budget or calendar to permit.
For prospects living in regions that face these 'drive-time' restrictions from out-of-state schools, how do we bridge that gap? If a staff loves your film but explicitly states the drive is too far for an in-person evaluation, what is the best counter-strategy to get them to pull the trigger without requiring a physical scout visit first?
