On today’s podcast, we talk to Amy Bryant, the Founder of Bryant College Coaching and an NCAA head coach and former player. Amy talks to us about what students can expect during the college recruiting process and the importance of being well prepared to get recruited.
Key Takeaways:
- Be prepared by conducting research before reaching out to coaches.
- There are three things that coaches look for when they are recruiting: Can the student get academically admitted? Are they capable of being on the team? Are they able to afford the school?
- Coaches will not make decisions about a prospect based solely on highlights.
- Only seeking one person’s help while trying to be recruited will narrow your choices. Instead, students should seek as many opportunities and contacts as possible.
