Recruiting Misconceptions
Your coach will get your recruited
If you are good enough, college coaches will find out about you
You have plenty of time to get recruited
Good grades don’t really matter
Attending Camps or Tournaments will get you noticed by
college coaches
A word from CdM . . .
By no means is it necessary to hire someone to help with the
recruiting process. There are numerous resources available
online that can provide information on the student-athlete’s
pathway to college. Here are just a few:
