Here are the three most common mistakes I see people make during the recruiting process. I'm gonna break down each one and show you what you should do instead. And you're definitely gonna wanna watch till the end because number three is the biggest mistake and you're making it. Then you might as well not even try to get recruited in the first place if you don't know who I am. I'm Trent Loire. I'm a former college quarterback and I help recruiters just like you go through the recruiting process with ease. So be sure to drop a follow for more content. Like this. Mistake number one is thinking that their high school coach is just going to do it all for them. I see this too often where a senior or a parent of senior comes to me and they're like, man, I wish we would have known X, Y and Z sooner. But also on top of that, like, we thought our high school head coach was going to do way more work. And then now we're figuring out that he didn't even know that, you know, Johnny wanted to go and get recruited to play college football. So, number one, most of this can just be fixed by early communication beforehand. Before you even start the process, just let your coach know, hey, I really want to play college football. I'm going through the process right now. Just giving you a heads up. What can I do to make sure that we have open communication? What do you recommend? But also on top of that, you shouldn't be relying on anyone else.
