In this 24 minute episode of the Total Female Hockey Podcast, Coach Kim shares her own college hockey recruiting story.
The process was super challenging for her to navigate as a player (especially since it happened in the late 90s before the internet/email was a big thing) but she came out of it in the best way possible. Her patience paid off (and she got a little lucky along the way) and she ended up spending 4 years at an amazing school getting a world class education, winning a lot of games/championships and having an amazing overall experience both on and off the ice. She has since spent the past 20 years helping hundreds of other young female players navigate the wild world of college hockey recruiting.
Hopefully hearing her story gives you some much needed inspiration and information as you navigate your way through the wild world of minor hockey and college hockey recruiting.
