Very little recruiting efforts are made due to vacations, dead periods,
or in-season commitments
Information is sent to prospective athletes (most college coaches don't
even know who is on their own list)
Evaluation periods (summer camps, film evaluations, etc)
Heavy recruiting, colleges persue the guys they want

Location
O If you don’t limit yourselves location-wise,
there are endless possibilities
O Sometimes the best move is to get away and
get a new experience in a different part of
the country
O Is there somewhere you’ve always wanted to
visit? Look into schools there
RECRUITING SERVICES
• My thoughts…
How much $
O The only thing that matters is:
TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE
(Tutition + Fees + Room & Board + Books + Supplies +
Personal Expenses + Transportation) – (Athletic
Scholarships + Academic Scholarships + Private
Scholarships)
The remaining money is what you, your parents/guardians,
or loans have to cover each year.
DON’T WORRY ABOUT HOW MUCH MONEY YOU GET FOR FOOTBALL!
CONCENTRATE ON THE TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE!
What’s Left?
O There’s a lot on your plate
O Continue to perform well academically
O Continue to take part in the Strength &
Conditioning program
O If you plan on playing another HS sport, DO
IT! You are only in HS once!
O The work you put into the process will be
matched by the coaching staff
