🚨 Does your highlight tape show versatility or is it the same play over and over? Does it grab and keep attention right away? Are you highlighted before the play? . Free Game to ask yourself before sending your highlight tape. Don’t be afraid to market yourself! 🤷🏽♂️🚨.

Recruits - Please understand that Offers and Roster Spots are VERY competitive. Research the schools interested in you and be upfront with coaches as to where they stand with you. The worst thing in the world is to miss out on an opportunity. College isn’t a 4 year decision. 40+.

Recruiting is not for the weak at heart… . One thing that I’ll always remind recruits with Offers/Opportunities is they don’t last forever. Recruits & Coaches alike know the difference between a DESTINATION and a COMPROMISE…. Enjoy the process & find your fit. ✊🏾💜🤍.

It’s recruiting/offer Szn, so here’s some things to remember. • Never compare your process to someone else’s. • Recruiting is a long process, just because it doesn’t happen when you want it to DOESN’T mean it won’t happen. • Not everyone mass recruits, fits Matter. 💯.
