About this episode
🎙️ Challenging the Status Quo in College Recruiting with Dr. John Comerford
What does true leadership in college recruiting look like? In Part 2 of Matt Rogers’ conversation with Dr. John Comerford, President of Otterbein University, the focus shifts from affordability to athletics.
Dr. Comerford shares his vision for recruiting with clarity and conviction—setting expectations for his coaches to recruit with integrity, to look beyond athletic talent, and to bring in students who will thrive in the classroom, in competition, and in life. He isn’t afraid to go against the norm or push back on the status quo if it means fighting for his community, supporting his coaches, and helping families find a better path to college.
For parents, student-athletes, and coaches alike, this episode offers a powerful look at what real leadership in college athletics should be.
