PART 8: STEP-BY-STEP RECRUITING EXPOSURE STRATEGY The $100M Athlete: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Recruited by David Schuman https://square.link/u/RUsHmQQe Recruiting exposure works best when it is intentional, targeted, and timed correctly. This step-by-step strategy helps athletes maximize visibility while building trust with college coaches. Step 1: Define Your True Fit Start with an honest evaluation of your athletic level, position, measurables, academics, and timeline. Identify schools where you realistically project on the roster—not where you hope to land based on name alone. Step 2: Build Credible Recruiting Assets Create college-level game film, an accurate recruiting profile, and verified measurables. Make it easy for coaches to evaluate you quickly and confidently. Step 3: Identify 15–20 Target Programs Research programs by scheme, roster needs, graduation years, academic offerings, and geographic fit. This becomes your core recruiting list. Step 4: Initiate Professional Communication Send concise, personalized emails with film links and key information. Follow up appropriately and track responses. Consistency matters more than volume. Step 5: Use Camps and Showcases Strategically Attend camps only where your target schools will be present and where you are physically ready to compete. Camps confirm evaluation—they don’t create it. Step 6: Leverage Trusted Advocates High school coaches, trainers, and credible evaluators open doors faster than cold outreach. Relationships validate talent. Step 7: Monitor Interest & Adjust Evaluate feedback, responses, and recruiting signals. Refine your target list as interest becomes clearer. Step 8: Transition from Exposure to Opportunity As conversations turn into visits, offers, or clear next steps, narrow your focus and apply the recruiting decision framework. Exposure is not about being everywhere—it’s about being seen by the right people at the right time with the right presentation.
