Episode #81: Dan Mickle on Recruiting

🎙️ Significant Recruiting Podcast – Featuring Dan Mickle

In this episode, I’m joined by Dan Mickle, Head Volleyball Coach at York College of Pennsylvania and a certified mental performance consultant. We dive deep into what it really takes for volleyball players to stand out in today’s recruiting landscape—and it goes far beyond stats and highlight reels.

Dan shares:

• How mental performance plays a critical role in recruiting
• What coaches are looking for beyond talent
• How parents can recognize when their child is struggling mentally
• Tips for helping athletes play with joy, confidence, and purpose

Whether your daughter is navigating high school, club, or starting the recruiting process, this episode is packed with perspective every volleyball family should hear.
