GET YOUR NAME KNOWN!

A very small percentage of scholastic athletes get actively recruited. The vast majority need to promote themselves. OK, where do you start?
Create a Highlight Film. Start by asking your head coach for game, practice or showcase footage. If your high school doesn't have quality films call your opponents and ask to buy their film; sometimes they'll give or loan it to you. If your school or sport does not film, you will have to do it yourself or hire a professional. When putting together a highlight film think ESPN “Plays of the Week” and put the best plays first. You must get the coach’s attention now! College coaches get inundated with films. They don’t have time to watch hours of films on each prospect. They prefer a quick three minute highlight reels to see if you are a good match. If you are, they will request full game film and other information.
Produce an Informational Profile. Include factual information only, don’t embellish!
– Personal and parental contact information: names, addresses, phone numbers and emails.
– High school, address and phone number.
– Coach and Guidance counselor’s phone numbers and email addresses.
– GPA, Class Rank, SAT and/or ACT scores if available.
– Academic and service achievements and honors.
– Athletic and statistical accomplishments.
– Statistical suggestions by sport and positions:
