RecruitPKB: End of Dead Period Part 2

As you may know, the Covid implemented Dead Period will end on May 31, which means for the first time in over a year DI college coaches can recruit again! This also, means you can take visits that will allow you to meet the coach and athletic staff. For the next couple of weeks, I am going to do some refreshers on these areas to help you better prepare for these exciting experiences! Since you as parents may be out of practice or it will be a new experience to have a coach watch your daughter, I want to give a few tips on what the coaches look for and hope to see in potential recruit's parent behavior. Don’t hover when they are warming up:  Try not to hover over your daughter while she is warming up to play. It is ok to watch her hit balls [...]

RecruitPKB: End of Dead Period Part 1

As you may know, the Covid implemented Dead Period will end on May 31, which means for the first time in over a year DI college coaches can recruit again! This also, means you can take visits that will allow you to meet the coach and athletic staff. For the next couple of weeks, I am going to do some refreshers on these areas to help you better prepare for these exciting experiences! For many players, this may be the first time you will have a college coach watch you play. It may be the first time you really get those nervous jitters on the golf course. It can be tough to concentrate and focus on your game. You feel the pressure that you need to play well or else you may lose your chance to impress that coach.  So many thoughts and emotions can go [...]

RecruitPKB: Parent Tip #2

It is reported that when a young athlete is asked their least favorite moment in sports or why they quit playing, one of the most common answers is the “car ride home”. After a long day on the golf course, everyone is mentally and physically exhausted and while it seems like an ideal time to go over your daughter’s round, let her dictate if and when she talks about it. Give her some space and time as she is already going to be upset with herself if she didn’t play well. If you want to say anything make sure you keep it positive. Let her know that you enjoyed watching her play no matter the results. If you’re going to ask anything, make it about effort and attitude. Ask her if she felt that she did her best. Ask if she felt she showed good sportsmanship. If [...]

RecruitPKB: Thank You for 10 Years

This week I celebrate 10 years of Brandi Jackson Golf (and 8 of those years have been spent as the RecruitPKB College Consultant here at PKB Girls Tour). As I celebrate this milestone I wanted to just share a little for those who may not know my story and how I ended up here. But more importantly to say a big thank you to all of you and to the PKB Girls Tour because it has been an absolute honor and blessing to be in this role and I look for so much more to come! It’s so crazy to think this “little business” that I started while recovering from foot surgery at my parent's house 10 years ago has grown into the love of my life. I had pretty successful junior and senior years at Furman University highlighted by a runner-up finish at the US Women's [...]

RecruitPKB: Have a Definite Offer First

Many 2024 and 2025 recruits are making their decisions now or will be in the coming months, but before you begin to eliminate options that may not seem as ideal, make sure you have a definite offer to at least one school of your choice. Also, do not get confused about what may simply be a potential offer or the assumption you are at the top of the coach's recruiting list until you know for sure. I’ve seen this be a major issue with some recruits not understanding the difference between a potential offer at some point in the process and a definite offer actually given to you to accept. Also, some recruits may not realize that a coach is telling multiple recruits very similar things until he/she makes their decision on who they want to actually give their offer to. So make sure you know where [...]

RecruitPKB: How Recruiting will Help with Pressure Pt2

Last week I shared some insight on IGTV about how the recruiting process can help you overcome those moments of pressure when you are in contention or shooting your new low round. In case you didn’t watch that episode I wanted to break it down into a few thoughts and takeaways as I feel this is such an important topic both with player development and the recruiting process  Accept that struggling when you are in contention or nearing your new low round is part of the process, you have to get yourself in those positions in order to know what it’s like. And you’re going to fail more often than you’re gonna succeed at them, especially as you’re still maturing and getting experience. Think back to what happened once you get in those moments, what changed about your game (mentally and physically). For me, I realized that [...]
