  • It is never too early or too late to start the recruitment process. You just need to understand what level you are going for and what your budget is. TRUE

  • Believe it or not, working weekends and holidays is what college coaches signed up for. How big would it be if they saw you took time out of your weekend/holiday to contact them! TRUE

  • Coaches are busy around the clock, most likely it will take reaching out to them more than once to get a response anyways. TRUE

  • If you don’t have video, you can reach out to coaches but if they havent seen you play that will be their first request from you. TRUE
