Coaches want to see your film.

Don’t worry about stacking the Twitter Bio full of info and testing results. They know these are all skewed anyway.

Keep it simple and pin a solid 2-3 minute tape to the top of your profile. Dont overcomplicate it.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Zero reason to ever worry about outcome of your recruiting process.

I’ve yet to see any ever go all in to getting a scholarship/opportunity to play college ball and come out with nothing on other end.

Respect the process and it’ll reward you with more than you every thought.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

There’s no one specific way to get in contact with college coaches but what I can tell you is this..

You’ll learn real fast how resourceful you are when you don’t have their info.

It’s a skill to learn how to get in touch with coaches and how to communicate with them. Have to get savvy and try everything.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Your film
Your training regime
Your grades
Your respect for other ppl

Will get you more offers/opportunities than any college showcase, 7on7 team, social media post or edit ever will.

Basics always win.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Don’t recommend asking your parents for guidance on recruiting if they haven’t gotten recruited themselves.

You need to have skills to do things for yourself. You’ll take lots of L’s but that’s the whole point, skills can’t be taken from you.

Finding a mentor who has been in your shoes is first spot to start with this.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Having the “it could always be worse” mindset in game of recruiting is a horrible approach.

You have to look at athletes just like you with more than you and think how can I one up them.

Zero incentive to change if you’re always comparing to ppl below you in a setting like this.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Every day take a second to reflect and just ask yourself if you were a college coach, would you even recruit yourself?

Important to be able to hold your own self accountable and not depend on someone else.

99% the results you’re seeing are a direct reflection of work you’re putting in.

Will never matter if you don't put the work in every single day to continuously improve your craft.

Your body of work should speak so loudly for itself that the things above become more and more irrelevant when it comes to exposure and recruiting.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Relying on parents and HS coaches to carry the legwork in your recruiting process is a tough path to go down.

Important to go through the ups and downs leading the way yourself and having a mentor to touch base with when you run into certain scenarios.

Getting recruited is 1 of first times in life you test waters of what opportunities you’re capable of creating from scratch.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

The high school athlete who has no fear of making mistakes when it comes to getting recruited gets all the offers, attention, and opportunities.

The high school athlete who is too afraid to mess something up with recruiting so he makes no moves will end up with zero in the end.

Has been and will always be this way.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

The goal can be D1 but turning down calls/interest from small schools (D2 and lower) is worst thing you can do.

Only hurting yourself and your goal(s) of getting D1 by not picking up smaller offers first.

Have to set ego aside.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

If your recruiting is completely dead, forget everything else and go all in on next 4 months.

A solid high school season tape can do more for you than about anything else.

A 1-2 minute strand of some greats plays could completely change trajectory of your life.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

If there’s was one piece of advice I wish someone would’ve given me when trying to get recruited…

It’d be to prioritize volume over everything. More DMs, more lifting, more skill work, more camps.

Best way to learn what works and what doesn’t at young age is by firing endless shots. Analyze after.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Training every day is hard.
Getting told no by coaches is hard.
Sacrificing weekends is hard.

But what’s even harder is not giving yourself a shot and just going all in to get a scholarship.

There’s a reason not every athlete in high school is willing to work for it.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Majority of you aren’t going to be a 5 star recruits and there’s nothing wrong with that.

Just means you’re going to have to take the initiative and figure out how to get your name out there. Exactly what mentors are for.

Still countless opportunities to play in college if not a top recruit, get school paid for, chase pro dreams, etc.

Link in bio how to get started.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Keep your Twitter page simple.

Take testing results and lifting numbers completely off page. Coaches know they’re boosted.

Have Hudl link in website part of bio.

Pin screen recording of first 30 seconds of highlights to top of profile.

Post offers when they come in.

Simple always wins.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Having zero clue how to get the ball rolling for recruiting is one thing.

Doing zero to change that is another.

That’s why you have zero to lose if you snag the playbook in bio to get pointed in the right direction.

You either want it or you don’t.

[Jake Dorn @JakeDorn5]

Lots of you out there are stuck in the game of recruiting because you’re not willing to step out and ask questions.

- Ask your HS coach how you can get more playing time
- Ask a mentor what they experienced/did during a situation
- Ask a college coach what they think you should get better at

99% of your answers are on the other side of simple questions.
