Zev Taublieb walks high school soccer players through their first call with a college coach. Ask questions about the season and program, hint that other schools are recruiting you, and get the coach talking about themselves. This shifts how they see you from talented player to someone they actually want to coach for four years.
Do you want to play college soccer? Here's how you get coaches to fight over you in order for you to get recruited. When you have that first phone call, you're going to ask the coach some questions. They're going to want to ask you all the questions, but you're going to not interrupt them, but you're going to have some questions for them. So when they say to you, how's the recruiting process going? You're going to have to say that you're being recruited by a lot of people. Now you can't lie. So you actually, actually have to be recruiting, being recruited by a lot of people, but then you're going to return the question to them and you're going to go, how do you feel the season is going? I've really enjoyed watching XYZ and I'd love to get your feedback on how you've enjoyed the coaching this season. And if you ask them a question over and over again, all of a sudden you're gonna have 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 coaches all looking at you going like, I love this human being. I want them to be the captain of my team. And that's how you get the coaches to fight over you because now they go from, I like you as a player to now I love you as a person. And remember, these coaches need to love you as a person cuz they're gonna adopt you for 4 years and they are really scared that if you do something dumb at college that they will get fired. So that's why they take so much time getting to know you, getting to know your family, before they're gonna recruit you. If you want more help, comment "call" and I can schedule a call with you and your parents to help you say the right things to college coaches.
