College Recruiting• FILM and Head Coach Recommendations:

– I will be sending out 100+ dvd’s to Colleges and University’s nationwide. With my recommendations attached.

– I need release signed in order to give personal info.

• Combines ($)– Colleges use these to sort talent, as well as find.– If you go you had better perform at your best.

• Camps ($$)– Go only with a personal invitation, not junk mail!!– Go for ONE DAY and ask to be evaluated by the coaches.– D-I schools are nearly finished with evaluation and scholarship offers prior to senior season.

• Individual Marketing ($$$$)– Recruiting service ($1000-$2000)– Highlight film creation (teammomshop.com, etc.)– U-tube / web link creation.

• Over 1.5 Million Play HS Football in USA, 20,000 D-1 players (1.3%). Less than 4% will play football with a scholarship of any kind at any level. The most difficult part of the process is a realistic talent evaluation.
