College Recruiting Tips to Remember

• Start the process early.
• Stay organized, be prepared, make lists, and ask questions.
• Send out your video to a lot of schools.
• Chances are your dream school will NOT need or want you.
• Be realistic, but have both safety and dream schoools on your list.
• Rejection should be expected - Not everyone will need you.
• Education is more important than softball.
• Keep your grades up - Being smart is a good thing.
• Keep lots of updated transcripts around.
• College coaches talk to each other.
• Coaches can't always call you back, so emailing works best
• Don't get down if no one gets back to you right away.
• You must initiate the correspondence; coaches can't read your mind.
• Follow-up is extremely important.
• Send out thank you emails to coaches who came to watch you play.
• Ultimately, it is your decision.
• Don't judge a school for its location, colors, mascot, etc - they are not important - college is what you make of it.
• Even if you would never go to a certain school, still fill out the questionnaire, it is good practice, and you NEVER know.
• Research - if the team already has three shortstops and you are a shortstop, chances are they will not need you.
• Take your SATs & ACTs early and often, don't ever settle with your score.
• You don't have to be a superstar when coaches are watching - just hustle, cheer positively, and be loud out on the field - communication is key.
• Coaches watch you off the field as well, especially how you interact with parents, coaches, teammates, etc.
• Be patient, college coaches have more to do than just recruit - they are very busy people.
• Know what you are going to say before calling a coach, although chances are you will not follow your script.
• Be persistent - a coach may forget you left a message two weeks earlier, so just try calling again.
• There are plenty of scholarships out there - but you have to work for them!
