    Frequently Asked Questions

    When should I start the recruiting process?

    The earlier, the better. Many athletes begin reaching out to coaches as early as freshman year. However, it's never too late to start—even seniors can find opportunities.

    Do I need an expensive recruiting service?

    No. Most successful athletes get RECRUITED through their own efforts, good communication, and organization. Tools like RECRUITED give you the same structure consultants use, without the high cost.

    How many coaches should I contact?

    Quality matters more than quantity. Start with 20-30 schools that are realistic fits, then expand based on responses. Our platform helps you track engagement so you can focus on interested programs.

    What if coaches don't respond?

    Follow-up is essential. Many coaches receive hundreds of emails. Strategic, well-timed follow-ups show your genuine interest and often lead to responses.

    Can parents help with recruiting?

    Yes! Parents play an important support role. With RECRUITED, parents can help manage billing and stay informed while athletes handle all direct communication with coaches.
