The other day, I was part of an amazing college recruiting panel at Brentwood high school in CA. I was fortunate enough to share the stage with a former Princeton baseball player, the head women’s basketball coach at Occidental college, and the compliance director at UCLA. The athletic director at Brentwood asked me to speak about how to put together an effective College Recruiting Game Plan, so I shared 3 critical components to college recruiting success.
3 things that are imperative to an effective college recruiting game plan.
TIMELINE – When to promote?
Parents always ask me, “When should I start promoting my student-athlete to college coaches?” I always tell them the best time to start is once you have quality varsity footage. This way a college coach can see you play against top talent and better judge your talent and skills.
TOOLS NEEDED
There are essentially 3 tools you will need to effectively promote yourself to college coaches. The first thing you will need is an athletic resume. The more you can think of the recruiting process like a job interview the more effective you will be in it. The second thing you need is an official transcript. Academics are getting more and more important in the recruiting process each year. The third thing you need is a highlight video. Coaches must see you play if they are going to recruit you.
PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE – What to do?
The third thing you will need, and what I believe to be the most important step in the college recruiting process is to PROMOTE yourself to college coaches. If coaches do not know about you, then they cannot effectively recruit you. Be sure to send your TOOLS out to colleges that seem to be an ideal fit for you.
