Alex Swenson reveals the four questions college coaches use to evaluate recruits. They ask what you want from college, how you get along with coaches, how teammates see you handle failure, and what you're working to improve. Specific answers signal readiness; vague ones raise red flags.

4 questions college coaches will ask every recruit that will reveal if they want to keep moving forward. Question number 1: What do you want out of your college experience? This tells the coach a lot of whether you might be just chasing a logo or you're going to jump in the transfer portal with any sign of adversity, or you've actually really thought about this and you're thinking about fit and where you can contribute to a school on and off the field. Number 2: How's your relationship with your high school coach or your travel coach? They're looking for red flags because if you have bad relationship with your coaches, that's a red flag that they might need to look into. So make sure that you're forming good relationships with your coaches. Number 3, if I were to ask your teammates, what do you do when you're not playing well, how would they respond? Again, they're looking for red flags. Are you throwing equipment? Are you pouting? Are you blaming others? Are you taking responsibility? You have an even keel about you. Number 4, what are you working on right now and why? They're looking for some ownership and self-awareness, a specific thing that you're working on in a plan, not some just generic answer, just trying to get better.
