NOW WHAT...everyone is telling you how and what you should do about college athletic recruiting...

Today, many families will seek the services of a well-known, established scouting services like COACHPOST1 that has the recruiting knowledge and will ensure that the prospect has all the key recruiting details which should give the prospect his or her best chance to be recruited by a larger number of colleges.

You can do this yourself and get good results and feedback from the colleges you are recruiting to/we found that because of so many recruiting services its kind of become spam type marketing to college coaches, their time is valuable and becoming more important everyday in the recruiting day/night activities.

COACHPOST1 has said this many times but believe it needs to be said again...The High school coach should not be expected to ensure that all his/her qualified players get recruited by colleges. This is not a part of their job and anything they do to help a prospective student-athlete is strictly voluntary. They have a team to coach and their obligation is to that team as a whole and not to select individuals. Parents need to be educated in the recruiting process so that they can become actively involved in ensuring the necessary exposure for their child’s scholarship opportunities.

By doing it yourself ...if you have a good plan and can devote the time and investment necessary do be successful on your own. First, you must be registered with the “Clearinghouse” in order to be eligible to be recruited or to be offered a scholarship.

If you wish to properly promote yourself, you should develop a professional looking resume or profile. COACHPOST1 has one that is in the $89 recruiting information package You will need all your past and current athletic statistics, a recent transcript of your academic history, your coach’s personal evaluation and, most importantly, a professionally developed DVD of your game or skills videos.

If you are going to expose yourself properly, all these things should be provided to every coach that you contact. 


The biggest mistake parents and athletes make when they promote themselves for scholarship opportunities is waiting too long to get started. Almost everyone does it. Don't be like everyone else and give your son or daughter half a chance...this may be the biggest game you will ever compete in and you need all the help and motivation you can get...
