Where are you going for college? Who’s recruiting you? Have you gotten any letters today?

Those are some questions that many high school student athletes will ask another high school student athlete who is also being recruited for college. The question is: what does being recruited for college look like to you? Many high school athletes are not real sure about that answer. Many just play ball, get good grades and hang out with friends and that’s cool.

But as you hit your junior year of high school, are you being recruited by a college program? And if so, what does that look like? Are you getting a huge amount of letters coming to your home or your school? Are there college programs coming to see you play every week? And what about phone calls and emails– are you getting any of those? Has a college program asked to see your DVD or transcript or do they want to know if you’re registered for the NCAA clearing house?

What’s going on with recruiting for you right now? Are you even sure that you are being recruited for college right now or you’re not really sure what’s happening right now?

What does being recruited for college look like right now? Is it different for another student athlete on your team, is it the same or have you not paid much attention to what’s going on with the other kids at you school?

What do your parents think about the college recruiting process? (We all know how parents can be at times about recruiting.)

What role is your high school coach playing in helping you get recruited for college?

You could be a senior in high school right now and is being recruited any different than it was when you were a junior in high school or about the same?

Are you even being recruited for college at all?? Keep in mind that many kids out there are good but are not getting recruited by anyone. Are you even good enough to play in college and if so, how do you know? Who told you that you had game? What are the things that you did to get better? Did you play during the summer or somewhere at a camp? Were there college coaches at any of the camps or did you throw away your money on some useless camp or event?

I would bet that if you talked to a thousand high school players, all of them would say that they’d like to play at a college somewhere.

The problem is recruiting.

In the college recruiting process, many parents and high school student athletes leave it all up to the high school coach.

The high school coach is there to coach that sport. It’s up to the parents and the student athletes to figure out what direction they should go in recruiting; what methods they should use for college recruiting.

There are a huge number of high school athletes out there who are not being recruited for college right now, and most of them will just be college students. Their playing career is now over. Do you want this to happen to you? Without having the right plan in place, you will end up without a college program.

Recruiting is about exposure.

The more college programs that know about what you can do over and over again are the ones that will recruit you. The more information a college program has on you, the more they can recruit you. The more they see your name on their list of players to be recruited by college programs then the more chances that they will recruit you. If college programs like what they see in you they will make an offer to you.

Recruiting, Recruiting, Recruiting.

If you don’t want to pay a college recruiting service to help you with getting placed with a college program, then don’t use one. But of you decide to go with Woods Recruiting you’ll be glad you did!
