There’s a lot of misinformation around recruiting and believing the wrong things can slow the whole process down. Here are a few myths I see all the time. “If they want me, they’ll reach out first.” Most of the time, coaches expect athletes to reach out. Not hearing from a coach doesn’t mean they aren’t interested, it usually means they’re busy or haven’t seen you yet. There are a lot of athletes to look at. “No response means no interest.” Coaches get a lot of emails. A no response is not a no. It often just means timing, travel, or a full inbox. Follow-ups matter. “I’m bothering coaches.” You’re not. Recruiting is part of their job. Reaching out respectfully and professionally is exactly what they expect. “I’m not good enough yet.” This is one of the biggest myths in recruiting. A lot of athletes never even try because they assume they aren’t good enough for a certain level. I’ve seen players talk themselves out of recruiting altogether and some of them absolutely were good enough. Others would have been great fits at different levels or programs they never considered. Recruiting isn’t about one division or one label. There are strong, competitive, and well-supported programs across many levels, and a lot of athletes thrive once they find the right fit. The goal isn’t to chase a title or a level. It’s to find a place where you can grow, compete, and enjoy the experience. If you wait until you feel “good enough,” you might miss opportunities that were actually there for you. Recruiting is rarely linear. It takes patience, consistency, and learning along the way. If recruiting feels overwhelming right now, you’re not alone. Start where you are, take small steps, and adjust as you learn more.

VIP Recruiting Support is a high-touch recruiting experience for athletes who want real guidance throughout the recruiting process. This is a paid service and is offered on a limited basis so I can stay deeply involved and give each athlete the attention they deserve. This is not a template-only or surface-level program. It’s built for athletes who want a clear plan, honest feedback, and support that adjusts as the process unfolds. Support is provided for a defined period of time with clear expectations to ensure quality and focus. VIP Recruiting Support may include: • A personalized recruiting strategy based on your goals, level, and timeline • Hands-on help with outreach and communication • Highlight video review, feedback, or editing • Ongoing guidance, accountability, and check-ins • Direct access for questions and feedback during the support period This option is best for athletes who are serious about recruiting, open to feedback, and ready to take action. You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to be committed. Because this is a high-level support option, it’s application-based and limited.
