RECRUITs: Don’t blame your coaches if your don’t have the OFFERS you want. College coaches offer by WATCHING your FILM. The camera doesn’t LIE. You are what you put on FILM. Your film CREATES our interest. Your coach can’t get you an offer but your FILM can!
#Recruiting101

#OUDNA
RECRUITs: Don’t be JEALOUS of your teammates who are 4 & 5 Star guys or who have Power 5 Offers. These guys are generating
TRAFFIC which leads to DEMAND.
When college coaches come see them, YOUR coaches get to tell them about YOU.
#Recruiting101
RECRUITs: Your first 5-8 clips are the most IMPORTANT clips a coach will see. They will continue watching or turn your film off based on those clips. You must WOW them with your ability to play the position right away!
#Recruiting101
RECRUITs: The FOUR biggest relationships you will have in college will be:
• Position Coach
• Strength Coach
• Academic Advisor
• Athletic Trainer
When visiting colleges, get to know these individuals. They will be the CONSISTENT people in your life!
#Recruiting101
RECRUITs: There are LEVELS to college football.
Just because you don’t get the POWER 5 offer doesn’t mean you are not a football player. Don’t disregard ANY opportunities at ANY level.
You don’t know where YOUR road is TAKING YOU!
#Recruiting101
RECRUITs: SIZE DOESN’T MATTER
In football there is a POSITION for your SIZE everywhere on the field.
SHORT or TALL | SKINNY or WIDE
There is a position which fits YOU!
#Recruiting101
RECRUITs: Your HUDL Film might OPEN the door. But WHO you are in these areas..
• Grades
• Character
• Attendance
• Work Ethic
• Discipline
• Community
• Respect Towards Others
Gets you THROUGH the door. It takes MORE than film to EARN a Scholarship.

PERSISTENCE IS KEY
#Recruiting101
