We like it when our clients win.
But for one of our Division I coaches, it’s almost not a fair fight. She follows our strategies, and just sent me this note via email:
“We had a recruit come on her visit the day of my birthday. Well, the seniors decided it would be funny if all 8 of them had cans of silly string and sprayed it all over me before we started practice. This girl has been recruited by a ton of other schools and she committed to us on the spot because she said that it looked like we had fun. She was impressed that the girls were comfortable enough with me to spray me from head to toe with silly string and live to tell about it, then go on and have a serious practice. She said that all of the other schools she had been to were so serious the whole time it turned her off. Having fun before practice got us a big time recruit!!! That is recruit #15 for us. Yes, 15. Whoo, hooo!!”
Do we feel a little guilty for giving our clients an unfair advantage?
Not really.
