A recruiting strategy for a high school soccer player includes creating highlight reels and sending tiered emails to Division III, II, and I schools over 2-3 weeks. Camps like Future 500 and ID Sports are recommended for exposure, but academic grades must improve before approaching top-tier programs. Target schools include Fairleigh Dickinson, Denison, and Hofstra.
So number one is your video. Now I know you have—
you'll see some clips here.
We don't— this is enough. This is like kind of a couple of just— and this is training. This is the great goal that I want to show you. So the bottom line is I need more footage. I'll just have you watch this video. Oh, amazing charisma. I don't know if you know who Charisma is. He's probably before your time, but he scores a goal like that. Anywho, kid's great. What we need to do though is I need more video, obviously. So where does this live? Where does his video live? And what we're going to do is he's just going to give us full games one at a time to the forum. We're going to make every touch video out of those and then we'll make a main video. And then I'm hoping, you know, within 2 to 3 weeks we're going to press send because of his grades right now. He's going to email only tier 2 and tier 3 D3 schools, not the tier 1, just until he gets his grades up a little higher. Then number 4, he's going to email all the D2s on the list I'm going to give him. And then we can email D1s actually with his grades because they know he'll get better with time. The tier, the tier 1 D3s, they expect grades at a higher level at this point.
So we have to wait on that. But he can, he can do the email D1s. And this one we do email everyone.
Now he'll get a lot of generic emails saying we can't talk to you, da da da da da. Let that just be the first touchpoint.
It's easy. You click one button, takes about 8 days and you'll be in the program.
So don't worry too much about that.
Then camps. So the camps I want him to go to are Future 500, which is relatively local to him. There's one called ID Sports, which I believe have one in New Jersey, but I'll double-check. Now, Future 500, I think, is a really good one. A bunch of schools will be there that I think he'll like. ID Sports, this is a little bit more custom.
He may like these, he may not like these. I think, I think he would like Fairleigh Dickinson, so I'll add that to his list.
The academics, his academics have to improve. I think he'd like Denison also. His academics do have to improve, but those are really good soccer-playing teams.
They play great soccer.
So we'll give you a list, but These are two camps off the top of my head.
If there are, I'd say off the top of my head, that I've researched already.
If there are other dream schools that he wants to go to, which at this stage he has no idea, then we go to the camp no matter what.
So if there's a dream D1, uh, like a Hofstra, go to the camp. If they're not sure yet, lean on this. And then what I would say is, luckily these are not going to get too full yet, so wait on camps until we send two rounds of emails, which we're going to do very quickly. This will probably be done hopefully by the end of the month or middle of the second month. Even though it's the holidays, you're still going to send emails, okay? They— coaches take breaks during the holidays. They don't not work. So send emails.
He will also have to send the holiday template after our first round.
So that will be the second email.
So that'll be kind of perfect.
And then based off the responses, we're going to decide at that point where to spend our time.
The family's lovely. Mom and dad both played college soccer.
So in the template, please say, dear coach, my parents played da da da at da da da. I want that in the email template.
And then this is the extra because it's a big deal. I have a video we're going to work on and everything else we're going to go. Okay.
