Back to EpisodesTBH Episode 39: Navigating June: Athlete's Dilemma and Decisions
Description
The Triple Block Heads hosts joke about Frank shaving his head, then discuss how club volleyball athletes should navigate June’s overlapping options: club college showcases, on-campus prospect camps, and preparing for nationals. Prompted by a message from Dennis Rios, they argue that on-campus camps provide the most information for athletes facing June 15 recruiting decisions, while club showcases function like “trailers” best used earlier in the process to sample coaches’ styles. They advise choosing showcases based on location and which schools attend, being intentional, reflecting afterward, tracking preferences, and following up with emails. From a club perspective, they emphasize educating athletes, maintaining backup plans, adapting practice schedules, and supporting camp attendance rather than prioritizing practice over recruiting. They also note the physical toll of multiple camps and the need for rest, and say social media camp posts mainly provide neutral information.
