How To Get A D1 Athletic Scholarship
This past Friday I was at the Crespi vs. St. Bonaventure game. I was on the sidelines watching the game visiting with a good friend of mine, and he started sharing with me a GREAT recruiting story that speaks volumes about HOW to WIN this game of college recruiting and INSPIRE you about what is possible in YOUR recruiting process.
My friend and I were discussing a STUD RB back in Southern California that was not getting any love from college coaches…college coaches were only looking at his variables: Height, Weight, etc. and they were missing the size of his heart.
His physical attributes convinced them that he could not play for the school. So my friend started coaching him on how to promote himself. They made an online video on his profile and emailed all the coaches to view the video. The key point in this story was whenever the emails were sent to the coaches, the subject line of the emails contained a unique line such as:
SUBJECT: I am the Running Back YOU need…; Running Back to help YOUR program; CA Star RB to help your program
Essentially, he was using subject lines that would peak the coaches interest, get them to open the email and then he would instruct the coach to check out his online profile.
***One key tactic he used is that he put his ONLINE PROFILE link in the signature of ALL of his emails…you never know who may end up seeing it!
This young man realized he had to turn his recruiting campaign into a PR campaign. He started contacting people at Scout.com to generate interest in him…as he began to build some hype around him he got his first offer.Now, this is where things got good…he went from 0 offers to 8 D1 offers in a matter of few weeks. Once he got his first offer, he began to use this first offer to parlay it with the coaches he had been in communication with previously. He started emailing the coaches and letting him know that X school had just offered him a scholarship.
College coaches are just like you and me…they want what they cant have, so once they heard that one of their competitors had offered this young man they figured they should jump on the band wagon so they don’t miss out on a GREAT recruit. Let’s face it…the college coaches are going to POKER play you, so you gotta POKER play ‘em back. I hate to be so CANDID and I am happy to be so CANDID for your sake. Later, he happened to be in North Carolina. He called up the coaches at the major universities across the state, told them he was in the area, and he asked them to stop by and show them his tape. His family drove around the entire state to meet with ALL the major colleges in the state of NC. By the end of the day, he had 4 offers on the table from NC schools.
So let me inspire you on HOW to go from 0-8 D1 offers in a matter of a few weeks (of course you gotta be able to play!):
1. Focus on what you want. It should become an obsession in you. You must take suitable and purposeful action for achieving this in life. “Action” is the six-letter word that fires your rocket to reach your goal.
2. PROMOTE, PROMOTE, PROMOTE – this is YOUR PR campaign
3. ALWAYS have a way to get people to watch your highlight video – carry DVD’s with you like they are your business card or make up business cards with your online profile on it.
