[QUOTE="Surfrog, post: 2681258, member: 73111"] With the way college sports are - we build these kids on a pedestal. They think they are the best, they have "made it" when they receive a scholarship, and that they are the best. They don't realize they are about to be a rookie and almost everyone has a scholarship. Part of this falls on the parents. Forget "helicopter" I have some "lawnmower" parents I have to deal with/have dealt with. Hired an intern in the fall - in the interview process, we got it down to our top three. Shortly before singling it down to one, I got a call from the mother of one of our potential interns. Went on and on about how little Johnny Boy was the best ever. Johnny was cut that moment, we sent the standard "we're sorry, you've not been selected" email. Two days later, I get BLASTED by the mother for not hiring Johnny and 1 star reviews left on all media sites. I've had parents call to set up interviews, I've had parents offer donations for interviews etc. Worst ages to deal with in my industry: Almost ALL 45-65 are pains in the ass. 35-45 actually kick ass 99% of the time, albeit slower than the 25-35 group. 25-35 are fine 90% of the time, those in the 90% are typically the best to work with. 10% come from the bottom 50% below and still have their heads so far up their ass, they can see next Tuesday. 15-25 are 50/50. Depends if they have daddy's credit card and a range rover. [/QUOTE]
