The first step to promoting yourself to college coaches is an honest evaluation of your talent level. Are you a NCAA Division I, II, III or NAIA prospect? In sports like track and swimming you have times and distances to rely on. However, in subjective evaluated sports there are no charts or graphs that can tell you what division you should try to compete. There the beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Your high school and club coaches can be excellent judges. Opposing coaches, camp evaluations and comparing yourself with players who you have competed with or against and seeing how they are doing in college can help. Talk with people who have nothing to gain in the recruitment process.
In determining which schools to email your profile and highlight film, make sure you research the school and have an interest. Speak to your guidance counselor to make sure you can meet the school's academic standards. Another factor you might consider is the region or state the school is located.
Gather all the information you can, be realistic but don’t to sell yourself short, and get the ball rolling!
