Helping Student-Athletes Take Control of Their Recruiting Journey

If you’re a parent or coach of a college-bound athlete, here’s something important to remember: the recruiting process doesn’t just happen to students—it’s something they can take charge of.

Yes, talent matters. But strategy matters more.

Too many athletes wait for the right coach to notice them, when in reality, the most successful student-athletes are proactive. They find programs that are the right fit—academically, athletically, and personally—and then introduce themselves. They don’t just hope to be recruited. They recruit their future.

As adults supporting young athletes, we can help them:

• Identify schools where they can contribute early

• Find programs with coaches who support long-term development

• Choose schools that align with both their academic and athletic goals

The goal isn’t just a scholarship. It’s finding the place where they can thrive—on the field, in the classroom, and in life.
