This past Wednesday I did a fantastic recruiting panel at Brentwood high school with former Princeton and pro baseball player Stephen Young, women’s head basketball coach at Occidental College Heidi VanDerveer, and UCLA compliance coordinator Dan Goldberg. We spoke about different aspects of the college recruiting process, and the one thing the Brentwood athletic director asked me to discuss is the College Recruiting Game Plan.

There are 3 keys to your College Recruiting Game Plan:

TIMELINE – When to promote?

One of the top questions parents ask me is, “When should I start promoting my student-athlete to colleges?” I always tell the parents the best time to start promoting yourself to college coaches is when you have quality varsity video. Once you have quality varsity video, then it is the BEST time to start promoting yourself to college coaches, so they can see you compete against top talent.

TOOLS NEEDED

The second thing you need for a successful recruiting game plan are the right tools. You will need an athletic resume, an official transcript, and a quality highlight video. If you can think of this process as being similar to getting a job, it will help you to effectively understand the use of each tool. Your transcript is very important because more and more schools are putting more emphasis on the academic aspect of recruiting. Your highlight video is also an imperative tool. A coach cannot effectively recruit you if they are unable to watch you play.

TAKE CHARGE – PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE

The third thing you will need, and what I believe to be the most important step in the college recruiting process is to PROMOTE yourself to college coaches. If coaches do not know about you, then they cannot effectively recruit you. Be sure to send your TOOLS out to colleges that seem to be an ideal fit for you.
