2017 ASCA World Clinic Audio | Finding and Polishing the Diamond in the Rough, Trevor Miele 

Trevor Miele, a coach at NYU, discussed his experience in transforming swimming programs at NYU and Stevens Institute of Technology. He highlighted the challenges of recruiting at smaller, less recognized schools like Stevens, where he had to send thousands of letters to find recruits. At NYU, with its large, diverse student body, he developed a system to manage the influx of inquiries. Miele emphasized the importance of recruiting athletes with potential, using video analysis, and leveraging the university's resources, including strength and conditioning programs, nutritionists, and psychologists. He also stressed the significance of parent involvement and the need for recruits to be genuinely interested in NYU and New York City.
