If you are wondering what it takes to win the college athletic recruiting game, you are not alone. Thousands of high school athletes from all across the country simply don't know what it takes to get noticed and get recruited. If you find yourself in that position, this article can help you get started on the path to being recruited.
What You Must Know
The first thing you should know is that college athletic recruiting is never guaranteed, no matter how good you are. Sure the top 2 to 3% of high school athletes are pretty much guaranteed to be recruited, but for everyone else, recruitment is not guaranteed by any stretch of the imagination.
I have seen some very good athletes who seemed to be on their way to playing in college, simply get ignored by college coaches. Why does that happen? Here are some of the key reasons why:
- They play at a small school
- They play at a school not known for the sport they play (being a good basketball player at a football school)
- They play on a bad team that never reaches the state playoffs or tournament
- No one is promoting them
Sometimes, all of these factors contribute to an athlete not being recruited.
What You Should Do
If you find yourself in this situation, you need to take some steps to get your name known by college coaches. You need to take control of your recruitment and market and promote yourself to college coaches. You need to target at least fifty schools and begin making direct contact with coaches. Most of them will be glad to hear from you if you can play at their level of competition...because coaches always need players.
Summary
If you want to win the college athletic recruiting game, you need to get yourself noticed. If you don't, you playing days could end when you high school career ends. Don't let it happen to you.
