Are you or your son asking, “How do I get noticed by college coaches?” Well, you’re in the right place! This week’s video is all about getting on the radar of those college scouts and making your mark.
Let’s get started!
Step One: Know the Need
The first thing you need to know is if the schools you’re eyeing are in need of your position for your graduating class. It’s like searching for job openings in your area of profession. Don’t waste your time aiming for a school that isn’t recruiting for your position this year.
Step Two: Understand Athletic Metrics
Every school and division has its own athletic benchmarks. Whether it’s a Power IV school, a Division I midmajor, or even a D2 or D3 school, knowing these metrics is key. Think of them as your goals to hit by senior year. If you don’t match the metrics for your dream school, it’s time to look at other great options where you can still shine.
Step Three: Create a Stellar Highlight Video
A great highlight video is your golden ticket. Instead of just using one day of footage from a PBR or perfect game, compile the best moments from an entire season. This showcases your skills and consistency over time.
Step Four: Leverage Social Media
Social media is a powerful tool. Having a wellcrafted profile on platforms like Twitter and Instagram can catch a coach’s eye. Keep your bio short and sweet, pin your highlight video, and tag wisely.
Step Five: Communicate Effectively
Communication with coaches is crucial. Send concise emails with all the important info: athletic metrics, academic achievements, and your highlight video. Being proactive, not just waiting to be discovered, makes a huge difference.
Step Six: Attend the Right Showcases and Camps
Choose showcases and camps that have both prostyle workouts and games. It’s vital for coaches to see how your skills translate in real game scenarios. Make sure the coaches present are decisionmakers and are recruiting for your position.
