The 80/20 of the Recruiting Process
Yo -
Too many parents & athletes sweat the small things in the recruiting process.
Don’t get me wrong…the little things make a difference.
But they only make a difference if the BIG things are in place.
Make videos. Send emails. Improve skill.
Once those things are in place, then we can talk about the best descriptions for your YouTube videos and how to follow up with coaches in way that doesn’t make them want to throw their computer out the window.
You heard of the 80/20 rule?
80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts.
In this case, the 20% of your efforts that will drive 80% of the results in the recruiting process are the 3 things I listed above ^
Make videos. Send emails. Improve skill.
We’ll continue to talk about best practices in these things so that you’re getting the most out of your efforts.
But for now, don’t sweat the small things.
More tomorrow,
Jack from D1 Scholarship
P.S. The Kelce brothers (if you’ve been living under a rock — they’re the 2 brothers who played against each other in the super bowl this year) have a podcast. Their most recent episode displayed one of the most beautiful moments in sports that I’ve seen. This is not a sponsorship — just a recommendation from one sports fan to another. Enjoy.
