ChecklistToo often in the recruiting process, high school players and parents are too focused on the processes of others more than their own.

Hearing that another player has already committed to a school often results in added pressure that can be a hindrance to the recruiting process.

This is the wrong way to attack the recruiting process, and it becomes reactive v. proactive.

Here are a few ways to be in control of your own process.

Ways to be proactive in the recruiting process:

1. Researching schools and creating a target list

2. Gathering film from your games

3. Creating a highlight reel

4. Contact college coaches

5. Send college coaches your academic and athletic information

If you do these things, you will be in a far better place at the end of the process.

It will limit your stress while assisting you in focusing in the right places – namely, the best school for you.
