๐จ Parents of High School Football Recruits
One of the biggest mistakes I see in recruiting is when parents try to take over the process instead of supporting it
College coaches are evaluating much more than film, statistics, and athletic ability. They are evaluating how a prospect communicates, handles adversity, interacts with others, and whether the family will be a positive fit within the program
Over the years, I have seen talented players miss opportunities because of poor communication, unrealistic expectations, social media issues, constant parental involvement, or simply a lack of understanding of how recruiting actually works
Some of the biggest mistakes parents make:
๐น Speaking for their son during the recruiting process
๐น Contacting coaches excessively
๐น Treating camp invites as scholarship offers
๐น Inflating height, weight, or testing numbers
๐น Comparing their son to other recruits
๐น Focusing too much on rankings and social media attention
๐น Ignoring academic requirements
๐น Chasing every camp without a recruiting plan
๐น Becoming overly focused on NIL or one specific level of football
๐น Creating unnecessary drama with coaches, programs, or teammates
A camp invite is not an offer. Rankings do not determine a playerโs future. More camps do not automatically lead to more opportunities. And playing at the highest level possible is not always the same as finding the right fit
The best recruiting families:
โ Allow their son to take ownership of the process
โ Communicate professionally and respectfully
โ Focus on academics as much as football
โ Stay realistic about recruiting opportunities
โ Trust the evaluation process
โ Keep the focus on long term development and fit
Parents should focus on helping their son become the best student, athlete, and young man possible. Be supportive, be realistic, trust the process, and allow your son to take ownership of his recruitment
The families that navigate recruiting the best are usually the ones who stay humble, stay professional, and understand that recruiting is about finding the right fit, not winning a popularity contest
๐ At the end of the day, the goal is not to win recruiting.
It is to help your son find the right school, earn a degree, continue playing football, and create opportunities that will benefit him long after his playing days are over

We cap our camps at 300. We will have 30 coaches working each camp. Want to keep the camp at a 1/10 ratio so we can get eyes on all future @UTSAFTBL recruits. #210TriangleOfToughness
