RECRUITS! Some Qs you might ask a college coach...
1) How many players at my position have you offered?
2) How many scholarship players at my position are on the roster?
3) How do you use my position on the field?
4) How many players from my position have made all-conference/NFL?

So, if you want to play & study at a specific school...
1. Ask your HC to please reach out

3. Be open to his feedback

A year ago
@CoachDoty
shared his resume on Twitter.
I loved the detail so much that I saved the images & retooled many of my own coaching materials.
This is the power of Twitter (for sure) and more importantly of coaches helping coaches. Thanks Coach Doty! I’ll pass it on!! ✊🏻
Advice for Young Coaches:
26) Update your resume every year if you’re job seeking & every five years even if you’re not looking. Create a customized portfolio for interviews. Here are pages from my portfolio (2018). If you’d like a full copy for template ideas for yourself DM me
