Recruiting habits that either lead to offers or leave you with nothing

Some of these separate the athletes who get recruited from the athletes who get overlooked 👇

Emailing new coaches every day: Offers. You are creating opportunities for yourself instead of waiting for them to show up

Following up with every coach who did not respond: Offers. After sending over 100,000 emails for my athletes I can tell you most responses come from follow ups

Sending five minute highlight videos: No offers. Coaches do not have time to watch a movie. Your highlight should be as close to two minutes as possible

Ending every message with a question that moves the relationship forward: Offers. This is exactly how you turn a cold outreach into a real recruiting conversation

Sending film in every single message you send a coach: No offers. Talent is only one piece of what coaches are looking for. If you cannot connect on any other level it will never work out

The right habits get you recruited 🎯 the wrong ones leave you wondering why nothing is happening

Comment “DIRECT” For The Guide To Landing Offers Through DMs 📲

A coach finally asks when you are free for a call, and most athletes answer in a way that quietly kills the whole thing.

They fire back “I’m available right now” or “whenever works for you” thinking it makes them look eager.

What it actually tells a coach is that nobody else is calling you.

And once a coach reads you as desperate, that conversation almost never turns into an offer.

The right answer comes down to three things

Structure: Give the coach real options instead of leaving it wide open

Control: Pick times that make you look busy without being hard to reach

Flexibility: Leave a door open at the end so you never come across as rigid

It is a small shift, but it changes how a coach sees you before you have even gotten on the phone. Same athlete, same interest, completely different read 🎯

I put my full DM guide together with the exact wording for this and every other message coaches send during the process.

What to focus on at every level if you want to get recruited

Not every level of college sports values the same thing and this is what you need to know 👇

D1: Focus on your skill and athleticism. This is the level where physical tools separate you from everyone else

D2: Focus on your skill and how you can contribute early. Coaches at this level want recruits who can make an impact right away

D3: Focus on your skill and your academics. Strong grades open a lot of doors at this level

NAIA: Focus on building relationships with the coaches. This is the level where genuine connections matter the most

JUCO: Focus on your athleticism and your relationships with coaches. The right athleticism paired with the right connections gets you recruited fast

Know what each level values and you can put your energy exactly where it counts 🎯

Comment “CAMP” and I’ll send you the step by step guide to leave every camp with an offer 📲

Three red flags to look for before you spend a single dollar on a college camp

Coaches will not tell you this but these three signs will save you hundreds of dollars 👇

Weird formatting in the email: Bold and italicized letters throughout the message almost always mean it is a copy and paste or automated email sent to thousands of athletes

No specific mention of you: If the coach did not take two seconds to say something specific about your game they never watched your film. This is a clear money grab

The email address does not match the coach: Open the email and click the drop down arrow next to the coach’s name. If the actual sending email does not match the coach who supposedly sent it, that invite went out to everyone

Reading the signs before you sign up is what keeps you from wasting money on camps that lead nowhere 🎯

Comment “BUCKET” and I’ll send you the guide that shows you exactly what to say to college coaches for free 📲

What to say when a college coach asks if you have any offers

Coaches ask this to see how serious your recruiting process actually is. Saying no or backtracking is how you get ghosted 👇

Show your process is going well: Thank the coach for asking and let them know things have been going well and you have been talking with a few different programs

Sound mature about it: Tell the coach it has been a great learning experience and that you are staying active to make sure you find the best fit for your future

Flip the conversation back to their program: Ask if they would be open to keeping the conversation focused on their program and how it could be a mutual fit for you both

Sounding mature and in demand is what keeps coaches recruiting you 🎯

Comment “SPACE” and I’ll send you the full guide to emailing college coaches 📲

The email that took one athlete from zero offers to 11 offers

Steal this exact structure and coaches will start filling up your inbox 👇

Lead with the essentials: Open with the coach’s last name, your name, position, grad year, height, GPA, high school, and why you are reaching out. These five things are what hook the coach into your message

Use a time based description with your highlight: Add a short line like “here is a 60 second highlight from my junior season.” Coaches are 5.7 times more likely to click on your film when they know the run time and what they are watching

Close with the right question: Ask what steps you need to take to start the recruiting process with their program so it is easy for the coach to respond and give you a clear next step

The right email is what turns zero offers into 11 offers 🎯

What stands out about your program outside of sports: If you pick a school based only on sports you will end up transferring because it is a bad fit. This question eliminates that problem right away

If you are looking at two athletes with the exact same skills, how do you decide who to recruit: Being talented sets you apart from athletes who cannot play. This question helps you stand out from the athletes the coach is actually talking to

What would some characteristics be of an athlete that would not be a good fit for your program: This flips the script on what every other recruit is asking and gets you a much more honest answer about what they actually want

The right questions are what make coaches remember you 🎯

Comment “STEP” and I’ll send you the full playbook to getting college offers for free 📲

Will a college coach pull your offer if you have one bad game

If you do not handle the conversation the right way, yes they will 👇

Take ownership immediately: Coaches already know you had a rough game. Skip the excuses and let them know it is on you. Coaches respect athletes who own their performance

Be specific about what went wrong: Do not just say you played bad. Name the exact moment, habit, or mindset that threw off your game so the coach knows you actually saw what happened

Show you are already working on it: Mention the extra film and the extra reps you are putting in this week and ask the coach if there is something specific they would want to see you improve based on what they saw

Coaches recruit athletes who handle adversity the right way 🎯 own it and you keep the offer

Comment “INVITE” and I’ll send you the step by step guide with copy and paste messages for free 📲

Why families spend thousands on college camps and never get an offer

Less talented athletes are leaving those same camps with offers by doing three simple things 👇

Pre-camp preparation: Coaches have massive lists of athletes at their camp and if they do not know your name you get marked off the list. Email every coach who will be there five days before camp to introduce yourself, let them know you will be attending, and start a real conversation

Stick to your strengths during camp: 99% of coaches are not looking for a star player. They invited you because they think you can fill a specific role on their roster. Show them you can do exactly that

Follow up after camp: Send every coach a thank you email, attach additional film they have not seen, and ask what the next steps in the process look like

Getting an offer from camp is about the work you put in before and after 🎯 not just how you play that weekend

Comment “EMAIL” and I’ll send you the top performing email list for free 📲

The tip from Clemson’s head coach that every athlete needs to hear before sending another recruiting email

Great stats will not get you recruited if coaches do not trust the level of competition. This is how you fix that with the right email 👇

Nail the subject line: Combine your grad year, position, GPA (if it is strong), and your name. Do not pack it with extra info or your email goes straight to spam

Lead with the essentials: The first two lines have to tell the coach who you are, where you are from, and why you are reaching out. Without those three things they have no reason to keep reading

Use a time based description with your film: Instead of dropping a random link, add a short line like “here is a 90 second highlight from my junior year” so the coach knows exactly what they are clicking on and how long it takes

Close with a logical question: End your email with a question that moves the relationship forward and makes it easy for the coach to respond

The right email is the difference between getting opened and getting deleted 🎯
