Do You Have a Game Plan?
You need a plan....
How many times have you heard the "gurus" say you don’t need help—and maybe you don’t.
But it’s just like getting fit or losing weight: we all know the steps, but creating a plan and finding the motivation, discipline, and drive to show up and follow through every single day?
That’s the real challenge. Knowing the path is one thing; staying on it is another.
Can you do this on your own? Of course, you can... but are you?
Success in the recruiting process starts with a clear, actionable plan. Here’s how to take charge of your journey:
Step 1: Assess Your Goals and Fit
Start by understanding where you stand and where you want to go.
What level is realistic for you? Be honest about your talent and potential.
Which schools are the right fit?
Consider academics, athletics, and culture.
This step is all about narrowing your focus to programs that align with your goals.
Step 2: Boost Your Exposure
Once you’ve identified your target schools, it’s time to get noticed.
Social Media Presence:
Post consistently to showcase your journey.
Share training sessions, game highlights, and achievements.
Why? Visibility is everything. More posts = more exposure = more attention from college coaches.
Step 3: Organize and Commit to Reaching Out
Now that you’ve built a presence, it’s time to connect with coaches.
How to Stand Out:
Send personalized emails to coaches at your target schools.
Include a quality highlight video that showcases your game.
Make it easy for coaches to see your potential and why you’re a great fit for their program.
Step 4: Build Relationships with Coaches
Interest is just the beginning—relationships are what matter.
What to Do:
Follow up consistently.
Ask thoughtful questions about their program.
Get on calls or Zoom meetings to show genuine interest.
Building trust and rapport with coaches can make all the difference.
Step 5: Keep Grinding!
The recruiting process doesn’t stop—it’s about staying consistent and committed.
Your Next Steps:
Attend ID clinics and camps to showcase your skills in person.
Continue strengthening relationships with coaches.
Expand your outreach to more programs.
Progress happens when you stay focused and put in the work.
Do You Have a Plan?
Excellent—get after it!
If you don’t, don’t wait. Reach out today, and let’s build one together!
