In this advisory video, the speaker addresses whether attending an ID (identification) camp without prior interest—"cold turkey"—is advisable. He argues that showing up is better than not, because coaches only see players who attend, but recommends a more strategic approach. If you have unlimited funds, attending many camps increases exposure, yet most athletes have budget limits, so indiscriminate attendance may waste money and still fail to attract recruiters. The speaker advises targeting camps you genuinely want to attend, building a "genuine invite" through social media outreach, emails, follow‑ups, and showcases. He also explains that some elite academic schools, such as MIT, run invitation‑only ID camps for top academic recruits, selecting a limited group of athletes they wish to recruit. These exclusive camps are not open to everyone and are meant to streamline recruitment of high‑performing students. The video concludes with a brief thank‑you.
