Every year toward the end of the high school sports season and the college season there are many individuals who all believe they can help student athletes get recruited and placed in college.
The excitement surrounding the end of the sports seasons often brings a certain level of interests in becoming a college recruiter.
Maybe it’s because being a college recruiter will keep many people who enjoy sports connected to the game some type of way.
On the outside looking in, it looks very easy to be a college recruiter. Basically you watch a lot of high school games, you talk to a bunch of players, you tell them you can help them get into college and you ask them to pay you a fee.
If you think being a college recruiter is as simple as that then you’re an idiot and you should go back to watching TV all day.
Being a full time college recruiter is a profession just like being a high school or college coach; it’s a serious job with a huge amount of responsibilities and attention to detail. There are a lot of men who all want to take that next step in becoming a college recruiter because of the thrill of it all.
It is very exciting to sit and watch games all day and talk to players all the time. Ideally, who wouldn’t want that job?
College recruiting is an exciting job with many benefits outside of the fee you’re going to receive from the parents of the student athletes.
When I was a full time college recruiter I would often get tickets to games, invites to camps or free athletic gear.
The only problem with being a college recruiter is there is no information available on the step by step process on how to do the job. There are actually college courses in sports management to be a sports agent but there’s nothing available on how to be a college recruiter.
So if you’re sitting there watching sports on ESPN and thinking about being a college recruiter, I would really think about doing something else.
