Inside the Manual

WHAT'S INSIDE THE PLAYBOOK

Nine sections. Every stage of the recruiting journey covered. Written by a coach who's been on both sides of the table — as a recruited athlete and as a Division I recruiter.

01
Parent Guide

The Role of Parents

There's a fine line between advocate and liability. This chapter shows you exactly where that line is — and how to be your athlete's biggest asset.

02
Foundation

What Recruiting Really Is

Most families don't know how recruiting actually works until it's too late. This chapter changes that — for good.

03
Visibility

What Coaches Look For

Coaches are evaluating more than talent. Learn exactly what they're watching for — on and off the field.

04
Timeline

Recruiting by Class Year

The timeline matters. Know what your athlete should be doing in 8th grade vs. junior year so you're never behind.

05
Strategy

Camp Strategy

Not all camps are created equal. Learn which ones get your athlete in front of the right coaches — and which ones are a waste of money.

06
Presentation

Film Strategy

A highlight video is often the first thing a coach sees. This chapter shows you exactly how to make it count.

07
Communication

Social Media & Communication

One wrong post can cost your athlete an offer. Learn how to use social media as a recruiting tool — not a liability.

08
Avoid These

Biggest Recruiting Mistakes

The most common mistakes families make — and exactly how to avoid every single one of them.

09
Academics

Academics & NCAA Eligibility

Eligibility issues end recruiting careers before they start. Don't let a GPA or course requirement catch you off guard.
