Recruiting Starts Before You Send an Email
Recruiting begins when a coach clicks your profile. And they will click.
What Your Bio Should Include
Keep it simple and professional:
- Name
- Grad Year
- Primary Position or Event
- Height and Weight (if applicable)
- GPA
- Highlight Link
- Coach Contact Information
If a coach has to scroll through unrelated content to figure out who you are, you have already made it harder than it should be.
What Not To Post
Avoid posting:
- Complaints about coaches or playing time
- Arguments with teammates
- Criticism of officials
- Party content
- Negative captions after losses
- Emotional reactions to recruiting disappointment
If you would not say it in a college coach’s office, do not post it online.
Smart Content To Post
- Game clips and match highlights
- Practice reps with measurable improvement
- Weight room progress
- Academic achievements
- Community service
- Leadership moments
A softball player posting exit velocity progress.
A soccer player posting conditioning work.
A wrestler posting technique refinement.
A swimmer posting verified meet times.
Recruiting is about projection. Show coaches who you are becoming.
