The Athletic Recruiting Process is a very long journey for your entire family
One of the most stressful times in the lives of parents and their children is if they go through the athletic recruiting process. It doesn’t matter if you are a Division I recruit or someone hoping to play sports at the NAIA level, it is tough weighing out the benefits of [...]
What do I need to do to get college coaches to watch my recruiting highlight video?
I wrote yesterday about how you should not waste your time “cold sending” recruiting highlight tapes to college coaches. That is something I doubt I will ever change my stance on. But it also had a number of users asking about what they need to do to get their highlight videos in [...]
Sending out highlight videos without prior contact with the coaches is not the way to go in football recruiting
There is one major thing that you can do in recruiting to save money. It is to not send out tape unless a coach requests it. It makes me sick when recruits tell me that they send out game tape and don’t get a response. The reason is because it is not a [...]
What should you do if you get an athletic recruiting deadline by a college coach during the recruiting process?

The smaller the amount of scholarships a sport has, the more prevalent that dead lining will [...]
Be honest and tell coaches ou committed to another school during the recruiting process
Throughout the athletic recruiting process, the last thing you want to do is burn bridges with the coaches that are recruiting you. The reason why this is important to avoid is that you just never know what can happen in your life later on that you may run into them. It could [...]
How should you react to a school that says they are not longer recruiting you anymore? Is it a good or bad thing?
Throughout the recruiting process, one of the coolest things that a high school athlete can receive is letters from Division I schools. I was a terrible high school basketball player but I even received one Division I letter my junior year (Which I do believe that I still have). It just [...]
College coaches will avoid parents who are overbearing at nearly all costs in the athletic recruiting process
As I have mentioned many times and in a number of different articles, college coaches try to find out the most that they can about each recruit that they are after. If a scholarship offer will come to the table, the majority of coaches do an in-depth background check that allows [...]
5 years versus 40 years and the role that academics should play when making your college decision
When you are 17 and 18 years old, the time you are thinking about is the present. You are trying to do whatever you can at this young age to make yourself happy. If you love to eat, you are going to eat. If you love to play basketball, you are [...]
Why bringing in in-state athletic recruits are vital for college coaches
When looking at the roster of most schools throughout the country, it seems that in many cases, the state that the school is in usually ends up having the most players on that team. While there are obvious exceptions to this, it usually is true in the majority of sports. And [...]
I feel I am a Division I recruit with Division III interest. What steps should I now take in the recruiting process to make sure I get a scholarship?
I write a lot about the different stories I hear from athletes that I talk to. They vary from story to story but this helps me continue to get a feel for the recruiting process and what athletes are thinking. Something that I have been hearing frequently lately is athletes getting [...]
