Athlete Strategy: What I Would Do For Recruiting If I Were An High School Football Athlete

I wouldn't sit back and get into my feelings but I would be active. Control the things I can control. I would commit to the process and never look back. Forget what everyone else is doing and focus on your strategy.

1. Clean up my social media. Use it for brand building and less personal. It's ok to like and retweet some things but focus on promoting things that relate to your dreams and goals

2. I would have my direct messages open for a college coach to have access to me on Twitter or instagram

3. I would post one exciting and interesting sports clip and explain what my job was on that play. I would talk about my execution

4. I would follow a few coaches in the program I'm interested in. I would tag them on the highlight I post each week. Keep in mind, do not tag Division I coaches if you aren't Division I caliber because it will be a waste of time. Doesn't matter where you play college football, just get the money.

5. I would work on the skills I'm good at then work harder at the things I struggle with. I would post some of my workouts

6. I would spend the offseason getting my grades as high as possible.

7. I would introduce myself to coaches that follow me and others that have their direct message box open

8. I would stay alert for coaches that are asking for film in their tweets and create eye opening responses to grab attention

Those are some things that I would do in the process. It's important to be consistent and improve each day. If you have any questions please reach out for a one on one.
