Think stats are all that matter? Think again. Coaches are watching before the start of the game.

Before your GPA and before your stats. They'll get to all of that. Here are three things that will grab the attention of the college coaches that are going to be recruiting you. Number one is your body language and body type. They want to see how you carry yourself and it's the first thing that they do see when they come watch you play. So how do you carry yourself? How are you with your teammates and the coaches? Do you walk around confidently? Do you walk around like you've been in the weight room? Number two, athleticism that pops. Your quick first step, your explosiveness or your fluidness. Even in video, college coaches can see athleticism. So be very intentional of what you are showing them. Number three, energy and effort. These college coaches want players that are competitive, that go out and can compete, and that have energy and are contagious to their teammates. In a positive way. They make everybody around the them better. So if you're walking or jogging when you should be sprinting or going through the motions, that's an X in your name. You don't even make it. Too many athletes think it's about stats and resumes. The truth is, first impressions still win. So show these college coaches that you're the type of athlete that they want in their locker room. Comment one thing down below that you think college coaches pay attention to in your sport. Good luck.
