Most HS Student-Athletes aren't sure about how to go about reaching out to college coaches, so they tend to make some common mistakes. Taking control of your own athletic recruiting journey involves strategic outreach to coaches in order to breakthrough all the noise, grab their attention and get on their radar. Getting recruited to play sports in college isn't about luck or sitting around waiting to get noticed by college coaches. In fact the majority of college student-athletes where not the highly recruited, full scholarship athletes you see on tv. The majority had to work at their recruiting journey, so they could pursue their vision of becoming a Future College Student-Athlete!

In this episode I share some of the most common mistakes I see HS student-athletes make in their recruiting outreach to college coaches.
