Parents often have a lot of questions about the college recruiting process, when to start, how coaches evaluate athletes, and what families should actually be doing when recruiting interest begins. In this episode of College Recruiting Explained, we answer some of the most common recruiting questions we hear from parents of student-athletes.
In this video, we cover topics like when athletes should start the recruiting process, whether highlight videos matter, if recruiting services like NCSA are necessary, and how athletes should communicate with college coaches. We also discuss the role of high school and club coaches in recruiting, how academically focused athletes should approach the process, and why student-athletes shouldn’t wait for coaches to find them.
