Five mistakes aspiring college athletes make when recruiting: asking scouts to call you instead of calling them, asking if you're good enough rather than letting them decide, seeking feedback at camps instead of asking what level to target, not sharing wins and achievements, and overlooking nearby schools where interest spreads fastest.
Do you want to impress college scouts? Avoid these 5 common mistakes. 1, do not ask for a phone call. If you really want a phone call and they haven't asked you for one, just cold call them. Do not directly ever say, am I good enough for your team? They will tell you when they think you're good enough for their team. Do not ask for feedback at the beginning of the process. If you go to a camp, the question to say is, what level do you believe I should aim for? Do not ask them, what should I improve upon? It will not help you know if they're recruiting you. Make sure you follow up with good news often. Don't ever think that it's too small. If it was you scored a goal, if it was you got a better SAT test, let them know. Don't ignore schools that are in the same region and conference because those schools know each other. So if one of them is recruiting you, it's more likely that another one of them would be more likely to recruit you as well. Comment the word quiz if you want a quiz on which camps you should likely attend. Otherwise, do you?
