Parker Resources Recruiting Guide helps educate Athletes, Parents, and Coaches on the College Recruiting process. Do you want to play a sport in college? So do a LOT of other people! EDUCATE yourself on the process so you can have an advantage over all the others. When the competition pool is large, it becomes more important to understand all the little things that can help you achieve your goal! My biggest take away after nearly 20 years in Athletics regarding this subject is to “take control of your recruitment.” Do not sit around waiting for something to happen. Educate yourself and get all the information you can to MAKE it happen! It is for this reason that I put together this recruiting guide. What this book lays out is the information I have gathered over the years as a Head Football Coach, Athletic Director, and District Athletic Director. I also talked to high school coaches, college coaches, and recruiting analyst from across the country to try to get as much information as possible to share. This book is written for athletes, parents, and high school coaches. Regardless of which group you are, I hope this guide will help you understand the process better. Questions answered in the book: What are the different levels? - What should I do to start? - What are the academic requirements? - What is the timeline? - What are the contact rules? - How do you get noticed? - What should be in a social media profile? - How do you reach out to coaches? - How do you make a good highlight film? - What are coaches looking for when they watch highlight film? - How do I know what camps to attend? - What questions should we ask the college? - And much, much more!
