STUDENT ATHLETES!!!

Here’s my tricks to verify if the coach that’s reaching out to you is real or fake:

1. Did he reach out over Twitter or text you directly first? Me personally, I never directly texted a student athlete without talking on Twitter first.

2. If they do reach out on Twitter, what does their Twitter look like? Are they verified? Who do they follow? Is there a similar account with much more followers? Identical Twitter accounts claiming to be the same person is a massive red flag.

3. Look up the coach on the school’s athletic directory. If the coach isn’t listed there, good chance it’s a fake. Verify their affiliation with the school and program first and foremost.

4. Ask your head coach. Interested college coaches will contact your coach and say “hey Coach [name], what can you tell me about [student athlete]?” College coaches won’t just text you out of the blue. We need to do our due diligence by interacting with you on Twitter, look at your information, and build a relationship between the two sides before we text.

Unfortunately, fake offers and fake interests come at random times. There are sick people in this world, however, if you’ve did your background check on them and still have questions, bring it immediately to your coach to look at and they’ll be able to help determine if it’s real or not. Use your coach! The best resource any student athlete can utilize is their coach.

Be safe. Don’t do something you’re not sure of without consulting your coach. Be smart. Protect yourself, and don’t be afraid to reach out to me if you have any questions.

Remember this.

That small school offer you received may not seem like much to you, but there’s thousands of kids (all whom will never play football again) that would do anything for that opportunity to, not only play four more years of football, but receive a college education.

We forget there’s so many student athletes who play sports as a means to better their life and get better opportunities such as going to college and receiving a first class education for free. Unfortunately the reality is a large number of graduating seniors will never get that opportunity to that for various reasons.

Next time you receive a text, an email, a visit, anything from any college football coach or scout, be extremely grateful and remember, one is greater than zero, meaning one opportunity is 100% better than none. Be grateful, be humble, and keep the faith.

Be methodical in your recruiting process.

Biggest mistake I see in recruiting is kids spend one day commenting on posts of a couple d1 schools then give up because they didn’t receive anything from the coaches soon after.

If I was putting together a recruiting plan for myself, this is what I would do….

First, I would reach out to regional schools nearest to me. They know my area, program, and its regional.

Second, I would then start reaching out to all NAIA, D3, and D2 schools before I do the D1 schools. There’s many more opportunities at those levels than at D1, so take advantage of it. With the transfer portal, you’re seeing rosters at the smaller levels be affected by it, which could mean more opportunities for you underrated kids.

Thirdly, after I’ve reached out to every NAIA-D2 school, I would THEN reach out to the D1 schools after I’ve reached out to everybody else. First do local and regional D1, then expand to local states and there on.

That’s just what I would do if I was in everybody shoes because I’d want to get as much local interest as possible. Those local schools want you, trust me! Recruiting is regional for the most part.

Don’t give up. Don’t lose faith. Just be patient. If you don’t give up, you do everything right, you’ll give yourself the best chance to get seen.
