If you're an athlete, I'm sure you've been told, hey, don't worry about going on social media. You don't need any of that stuff. But to get recruited, you need to be on this one social media app. Otherwise you're going to miss out on all the scholarship opportunities. If you're new here, I'm Trent Lower, I'm a former college quarterback. So be sure to follow if you want more content like this. And also if you want a free spreadsheet of 6000 plus college coaches emails, all you have to do is DM me the word emails on Instagram, I'll send it to you for free. So this one app is X or Twitter. I really just call it Twitter. But that's where every single college coach is at. You can post on there, you can DM coaches, you can tag them, you can reply to them, you can follow them. It's a one stop shop for everything recruiting. I say about 90% of recruiting happens on Twitter. Realistically, it's probably a little less than that, but it's an important app. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, don't really matter in recruiting. It's all about Twitter. So if you're not already on there, you need to get on there, make a Twitter profile. It's basically your, your recruiting resume, you need to make it look clean. Needs to be solely focused on recruiting and showing off the best of your stuff. That way it can coach. Can just look you up on Twitter, figure out everything they need to know about you, look at your full history as far as highlights, games.
