SEVCIK VERBALS

From the Wisconsin Sports Network.

Sevcik is the 21st player from the 2009 Wisconsin class to verbal and the 1st headed to a NAIA program.

TALENT IDENTIFICATION
Brian McCormick writes about talent identification, why athleticism and length are overvalued and psychological and mental characteristics are overlooked. "For a player to develop greatly, he must take the initiative and work out diligently on his own," says McCormick.
McCormick also writes about talent development and separating the elite from non-elite players. Hint--the difference is NOT physical.
