A college soccer recruit discusses offers from Hamilton and Franklin, stressing the importance of frequent, polite follow-up with coaches to show genuine interest. Cam shares how repeated calls built his confidence. The speaker offers to review highlight videos and answer recruiting questions if you DM him.
and we were working together and we started doing all these things and then it moved very quickly. You know, we got 2 offers from very good schools, Hamilton and Franklin, and like, like, those were amazing for all of us and it's given us the opportunity to focus fully on Division I schools that we would like to go to. Now, as we're kind of hitting the last month, in my opinion, of this process, we should be extraordinarily aggressive with the school scramble So if it means calling twice a day at some point, I think you're not gonna piss them off as long as you're polite. Hi coach, I know you're so busy, just wanted to follow up, blah, blah, blah, blah. And I can tell you, there's a life skill that doesn't really change. I'm doing this similar thing in my life, I did it in my pro career, and it takes steps forward, it really does help. But you have to, and they like that, it means you really care, and they do want a player that really cares. So that is good for us. Cool. All right.
It shows some level of maturity too, because I think most kids will be hesitant at first to do that.
I agree. 100%. Well, yeah, most of them are, all of them. And also, Cam, from your own perspective, you've done this quite a few times. You know, you're nervous the first time dialing because they might pick up, and then the 10th time when you've hit their voicemail, you're like over it, and then you sound better, you sound more confident, and that's a piece of this.
All right.
Good. Very good, everybody. Touch— keep me updated. Touch base. If there's an email you want to send me, Cam, or something, just let me know. If we need to do another meeting, we can absolutely talk about that and, you know, keep me updated.
All right.
Thank you, Zev. Thank you, Zev.
We really appreciate it. Yep.

Yeah. Take care. Yeah. All right. Thank you.
