HOW THE RECRUITING SERVICE CAN HELP
Networking with college coaches is what the college recruiting process is basically all about.
Our job at Woods Recruiting will be to consistently contact college coaches on the high school student athlete’s behalf.
This process takes an incredible amount of time because this is one of the huge benefits for using a college recruiting service.
Parents must understand that the college recruiting process is not easy so having a college recruiting service in your corner can help many parents sort through the challenges they will face.
HOW THE RECRUITING SERVICE CAN HURT IF NOT USED
The number of high school student athletes looking to play in college is huge so you must have an advantage as a high school student athlete to gain exposure to college programs.
There are many high school student athletes and parents who believe that if they’re good enough then college coaches will find them. This line of thinking can turn out to be a huge mistake.
Only a small percentage of high school athletes, regardless of the sport, get to pick and choose the college they are interested in. The rest will need help in gaining exposure.
Without the help of getting exposure to college coaches, student athletes could end up without a college or end up at a college that is beneath your athletic ability.
There is a long list of high school athletes and parents who wish they had started the college recruiting process much earlier.
Many of these parents have delayed the recruiting process thinking that somehow, something would happen or that they would hear from a college coach or that the high school coach had some kind of magical connection power with college programs.
It is critical that you give yourself a minimum of two years to thoroughly investigate the college recruiting process because mistakes will happen and by giving yourself enough time to correct those mistakes can make all the difference in a high school athlete going to the appropriate college to fit their athletic ability.
The college recruiting process is something that you cannot play around with and if you make too many mistakes it could kill your chances of playing in college.
The college recruiting process is extremely complex and makes absolutely no sense to the average parent and not having the proper guidance during the process could result in critical mistakes and loss of valuable time along with the possibility of choosing the wrong college.
The worst thing in the world for a high school athlete would be not having enough college programs recruiting you by the time you reach your senior year or throughout your senior year of high school.
There are countless stories and situations where high school athletes thought they were being recruited by the letters and the phone calls they received from college coaches only to end up with nothing!!!!
I believe it is critical to have as many college programs recruiting you as possible because every coach is different and every situation is different in terms of scholarship opportunities or financial packages.
The college recruiting process is very serious. It is very import that high school athletes continue their sport into college and it is also very important to the parents who have invested a huge amount of time and money in their child’s athletic career.
The bottom line is this: you will only get one chance to go from high school athlete to college athlete and as a parent; you must do everything in your power to help your high school athlete achieve success.
WHAT COLLEGE COACHES SAY AND THINK ABOUT COLLEGE RECRUITING SERVICES
College coaches cannot be everywhere; it’s impossible for a college program to recruit every high school student athlete.
Sometimes a college coach will only focus on a certain number of high school student athletes and if you’re not on their recruiting radar you will not get recruited at all. Our job at Woods Recruiting is to get you on that recruiting radar!
College recruiting is a full-time job with full-time responsibilities on the part of college coaches and if a recruiting service such as Woods Recruiting can make it easier for them by providing detailed information on high school student athletes, then the process for high school student athletes to get recruited is just that much easier.
College coaches need information about high school student athletes on a consistent basis.
It does not matter if that college coach has heard of you are not; the role of Woods Recruiting is to make sure that they don’t forget your name and that you are recruited by them with the ultimate goal of getting in college.
