Trenton Luera recounts his early experience attending college football camps beginning his junior year, describing a specific USC mega camp where he was underprepared — especially mentally — and failed to engage effectively with over 100 college coaches. He frames the video as corrective guidance, promising to share what he changed to later earn scholarship offers and advising viewers on how to approach camp season differently.

If you're thinking about going to college camps, this is what you need to do differently from what I did. Because I started going to camps my junior year of high school and especially those first couple camps were a complete disaster. And I want you to learn from my mistakes and how I corrected that and then ended up getting scholarship offers from camps and from all the recruiting I did. So be sure to drop a follow because I post content like this daily. So the first mega camp I went to, it was one at usc. I don't think they do anymore. But I left completely empty handed. And the reason I left empty handed was because I was underprepared. And some of you might think that's physically, but also just mentally underprepared, especially when you're talking about a mega camp. There was 100 plus college coaches there, no exaggeration. And a lot of top recruits were at that camp to perform in front of these coaches. And so I ended up going through the camp, performed whatever, and went up and talked to a couple coaches after the camp. But looking back at it, the one thing that I just was unprepared for, not only just physically, like throwing, running, all that stuff, but mentally, I wasn't able to talk to college coaches the way that I could in the future because I didn't know how to go about it. No one had talked to me about it. I kind of just knew, okay.
