hOW TO GET RECRUITED
​​
How do I get recruited?
​
​
The only way to get recruited is to get in front of the College Coaches, if they don't see you they can't recruit you.
​
If any of the following happens you are in trouble...
​
-
You Have Only a Few Questionnaires
There are over 4,000 colleges across the nation. How many know about you? -
Somebody Says "If You are Good Enough, Colleges Will Find You"
This is wrong. Your profile and skills video must be accessible 24/7 to all coaches and send out directly to them on a monthly basis. (FYI - Coaches don't typically waste their time on sites offering only "free profiles" for student-athletes.) -
You Think a Friend or Relative's "Connections" is all You Need
As a result, a coach might send you a letter. But it is statistically unlikely that anything more will come of it. -
Coaches Can't Get your Stats and / or Video
The reality is that you must have updated, accurate stats to get recruited. -
Your List of College Choices is too Narrow
The chances are not good of you fitting only a few specific coaches' needs. For this reason, extending your options is a much better plan. -
You Assume Walking-on is a Good Option
It's not. Colleges love for you to walk-on because you will be paying to attend that school. You cost a coach nothing. And you start at the very bottom of the depth chart. Every year, another group of scholarship athletes jump ahead of you.

Two Common Recruiting Mistakes
​
-
Waiting too long - The earlier an athlete is in the process, the more opportunities he or she will have. As time passes, so do opportunities to be evaluated and recruited.
-
Not taking action - If a student-athlete wants to play at the college level, he or she must work for opportunities. Only taking calculated steps can produce scholarship offers.

Do you really know where you are in the process?

Have you already invested a great amount of time & money training to be a good athlete, but the results are not paying off because you're still not being recruited?
-
Are you likely to be overlooked because coaches are not sending you letters and questionnaires?
