Now that Thanksgiving is over, and in-spite of the early departments store displays in October, we can safely say that the holidays are officially here. In no time at all it will be Christmas and a New Year will be upon us. For 2018 student-athletes hoping to get recruited a major season of recruiting is also here and soon so will Signing Day.
Since, most students have a little more time available over the holidays I want to ensure them have a happy and merry recruiting season so I put together a short list for those serious about getting recruited.
Every year student athletes are surprised to find no offers under the tree but so I suggest making sure these things are on your list…and check it twice.
Here are a few items that should be on your list.
- Highlight or skills video. Make sure have good, quality, clear footage.
- Update stats or metrics to the most recent measurements as possible.
- Purge social media of inappropriate posts. When in doubt, just delete it.
- Role-play and practice the conversation you hope to have with a college coach.
- Plan campus visits to colleges highest on your list.
- Schedule and study for the ACT/SAT college entry exams.

My best to you this holiday recruiting season.
