Coach tip of the week
Put your jersey number on your profile
A coach watching film has one way to find you in a crowd of players, and it is your number. One of us spends hours tracking down a single jersey number before she can even start evaluating a player. If your number is on your profile, she skips all of that and watches you instead. If your club number is different from your high school number, add both.
