Are YOU Getting the Most Out of Your Recruiting Showcase Appearances?
Choosing the Right Recruiting Showcase
- Assure that the showcase’s format will allow the athletes to gain the most exposure
- Research which colleges and coaches will be attending the showcase
- Is the time and energy being invested have an equal future return?
“Only attend individual camps if a large number of schools are attending the showcase, or if there is a high amount of interest in that particular athlete”
Maximizing Performance at Recruiting Showcases
- Be sure to get 8 hours of sleep and always stay hydrated
- Play with passion attempting to do your best at all times
- Show your ability to work in a team environment
“Coaches look to see if athletes are showing glimpses of a level of skill and ability that they know they are going to be able to coach and get better”
Contact With Coaches
- Email coaches with some basic information about yourself as well as why they should care about you and the easiest way to scout you
- When meeting a prospective coach be sure to give a firm handshake and make eye contact
- Continue with a follow up email to coaches after their evaluation of you
“You want to make coaches say, I am going to make the time to come see you play. So letting them know where you are going to be gives you the best opportunity to be recruited”
