The Process

How Recruiting Actually Works

Seven steps take you from a name on a list to a recruit coaches want to talk to. Run the process yourself. No expensive middleman required.

The 7-Step Process

Research Schools

Build a realistic target list across divisions before you reach out to anyone.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Donec a diam lectus. Sed sit amet ipsum mauris. Maecenas congue ligula ac quam viverra nec consectetur ante hendrerit.

Donec et mollis dolor. Praesent et diam eget libero egestas mattis sit amet vitae augue. Nam tincidunt congue enim, ut porta lorem lacinia consectetur.

Match academic and athletic fit by division
Track roster needs at your position
Build a target list of 20–30 schools

Build Your Coach List

Identify the right coach to contact at each school, and how to reach them.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Vivamus a ante congue, porta nunc nec, hendrerit turpis. Class aptent taciti sociosqu ad litora torquent per conubia nostra.

Mauris id fermentum nulla. Nulla lectus ante, consequat et ex eget, feugiat tincidunt metus. Vestibulum ante ipsum primis in faucibus orci luctus et ultrices posuere cubilia curae.

Create Your Athlete Profile

Package your academics, measurables, and contact info into one clean profile.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Curabitur aliquet quam id dui posuere blandit. Praesent sapien massa, convallis a pellentesque nec, egestas non nisi.

Pellentesque in ipsum id orci porta dapibus. Sed porttitor lectus nibh. Donec sollicitudin molestie malesuada. Curabitur non nulla sit amet nisl tempus convallis quis ac lectus.

Lead with GPA, test scores, and core courses
List position, measurables, and key stats
Keep contact details accurate and current

Create & Post Your Highlight Film

Build a tight, coach-ready reel that leads with your best plays, then post it where coaches can find it.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nulla quis lorem ut libero malesuada feugiat. Proin eget tortor risus. Vivamus magna justo, lacinia eget consectetur sed.

Cras ultricies ligula sed magna dictum porta. Vestibulum ac diam sit amet quam vehicula elementum sed sit amet dui. Donec rutrum congue leo eget malesuada.

Put your 3–5 best plays first
Label your jersey on the opening clip
Keep it under 3–4 minutes
Host it on one public, shareable link

Make First Contact

A DM on X or Instagram is the primary first touch in 2024+. Email is the formal follow-up.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean lacinia bibendum nulla sed consectetur. Maecenas faucibus mollis interdum. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo.

Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod. Donec ullamcorper nulla non metus auctor fringilla.

DM first: 2–3 sentences with your highlight link
Follow up with a full intro email
Never spam every platform at once

Track & Follow Up

Log every conversation, follow up on schedule, and keep your pipeline moving.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Integer posuere erat a ante venenatis dapibus posuere velit aliquet. Cras mattis consectetur purus sit amet fermentum.

Nullam id dolor id nibh ultricies vehicula ut id elit. Maecenas sed diam eget risus varius blandit sit amet non magna. Vestibulum id ligula porta felis euismod semper.

Track each coach's status in one place
Follow up after about a week of silence
Update your notes after every interaction

Rinse & Repeat

Work your full list, refine your targets, and keep showing up. Recruiting is a marathon, not a moment.

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Etiam porta sem malesuada magna mollis euismod. Aenean eu leo quam. Pellentesque ornare sem lacinia quam venenatis vestibulum.

Donec id elit non mi porta gravida at eget metus. Nullam quis risus eget urna mollis ornare vel eu leo. Cras justo odio, dapibus ac facilisis in, egestas eget quam.

Repeat outreach across your whole list
Add and cut schools as things change
Stay consistent week over week
