🚨 Calling All Class of 2028, 2029, and Some 2027s Late to the Party! 🚨

Don’t Let One Misstep Derail Your Recruiting Journey!

Can you navigate this recruiting journey on your own? Sure, thousands have done it before—but many made costly mistakes along the way: attending the wrong camps, sending ineffective emails, and even committing to the wrong school fit.

Need proof? Just look at the numbers in the transfer portal! So many athletes end up transferring because they didn’t have the right guidance from the start.

Starting your college recruiting journey without a solid foundation can lead to expensive errors. It only takes one misstep—a weak highlight video, a poorly written email, or targeting the wrong schools—to completely derail your process.

But here’s the good news: You don’t have to figure it out alone.

I’ve created a 5-Step Foundation Process to ensure you’re set up for success. Let’s break it down:

1⃣ Highlight Video: Grab Coaches’ Attention

Your highlight video is often the first impression a coach will have of you. It needs to showcase your best moments, be concise, and grab their attention within the first 30 seconds. A poorly made video can mean your email gets ignored.

2⃣ Social Media: Post with Purpose

Coaches are watching! Your social media presence can either help or hurt your chances. Use it to highlight your achievements, share your journey, and show your personality in a positive light.

3⃣ Coach Emails: Stand Out in Inboxes

Coaches receive hundreds of emails every week. A generic or poorly written email will get lost in the shuffle. Learn how to craft personalized, impactful emails that make coaches want to respond.

4⃣ School List: Target the Right Programs

Not every school is the right fit for you. Build a balanced list of reach, solid, and backup schools that align with your academic, athletic, and personal goals. Targeting the wrong programs wastes time and opportunities.

5⃣ ID Camps: Plan Your Next 6 Months

Attending the right ID camps is critical. You need to be in front of the coaches who are actively recruiting for your position and graduation year. A well-thought-out camp plan can make all the difference.

Each of these steps is critical, and missing just one could mean missed opportunities.

The good news? You can do this on your own. Take the time to examine each step of your recruiting process and identify areas where you can improve. Whether it’s refining your highlight video, crafting better emails, or targeting the right schools, there’s always room to level up your approach.

But here’s the thing: You don’t have to do it alone.

I’ve created a 5-Step Foundation Process to guide you through every step of the journey. This isn’t just a plan—it’s a proven system designed to help you build a recruiting strategy that generates real coach interest.
