Proactivity is key when it comes to college recruiting. Waiting for coaches to discover you is a passive approach that may result in missed opportunities. Instead, take the initiative to reach out to college programs, attend showcases and camps, and actively promote your skills.

While your high school coach may offer guidance and support, relying solely on them to secure scholarships can be a mistake. High school coaches, family, and friends often lack the specialized knowledge and connections required to navigate the intricacies of college recruiting.

Visibility is key in the competitive world of college recruiting. Thousands of talented athletes miss out on scholarship opportunities simply because coaches are unaware of their existence. To ensure you're not overlooked, it's imperative to actively promote yourself.

Myth: You can visit D1 coaches on unofficial visits anytime While unofficial visits can be valuable for building relationships with coaches and getting a feel for campus life, it's essential to remember that coaches have schedules to maintain.

Myth: Division 1 coaches can answer your phone calls anytime While D1 coaches may seem accessible, they have busy schedules filled with coaching responsibilities, recruiting trips, and administrative tasks. Expecting immediate responses to phone calls may lead to disappointment.

Myth: You should start the recruiting process junior or senior year Waiting until junior or senior year to start the recruiting process can significantly limit opportunities. College coaches often evaluate prospects earlier, so starting the process in sophomore helps.

Myth: Coaches will find you if you’re good: It's a common misconception that exceptional talent alone will attract college coaches. While standout athletes may more easily catch the eye of recruiters, coaches have limited resources and may not discover every talented player.
