Stop trying to sell yourself — #recruiting #collegefootball #scholarship #recruitingprocess #fyp

Why trying to sell yourself is hurting your recruiting. If you're new here and don't know who I am, I'm Trenlor. I'm a former college quarterback. So be sure to follow for more content like this. So I'm sure you've heard recruiting is sales and marketing. That's definitely not wrong. But the issue that a lot of recruits do is they try to sell their selves early on. And that's just the wrong way to do it. Because when you do that early on, a coach is not going to believe you. They're not even going to care in the first place. To really, like, move past that first barrier of entry to like, actually start a conversation with a college coach, you just need to prove that you're actually, like, have enough talent and worth it to the program to actually recruit them. So trying to sell yourself, however you may do it, if you try to do it with like, stats or like, I'm a hard worker or whatever, it's just not going to work. They need to see your film and then they'll make that decision after that. But once you do get that past that first point, then you can start selling yourself. And it doesn't necessarily mean like you're bragging about yourself, but like asking unique questions, kind of talking, just having conversations in general. You can sell yourself in unique ways then, but doing it right off the bat, that's not the way to do it. It won't lead to any.
