How to beat the transfer portal.

Here's how to beat the transfer portal as a high school athlete. Number one, reduce the risk for these college coaches. The reason why they're going in the transfer portal is because those college players are less risky. They've proven themselves. So as a high school athlete, we need to up our proof of a reason why these college coaches should recruit us and why we should be considered to get an offer from them. So up your proof for recruiting videos, getting in front of them, showing your skill set. Number two, look at all. Division D1 is the highest competitor. From a transfer portal perspective, you need to consider D2. D3. Of course, juco and nai. Every level now has become essentially a juco, which means if you have proven yourself okay, you can transfer up D3 players are transferring up to D1. D2 players are transferring up to D1. Consider that that's how you beat the transfer portal and play the game of the transfer portal. Number three, play the long game. All right. College coaches don't just see a player once and then make an offer. It's very, very rare. Less than 1% of that happens. They need to see you, and they need to see proof over time. Did they catch you on a good day? Did they catch you on a bad day? All right, play the long game and be consistent through this recruiting process. Good luck.
