Do you want to be confident you can get your child recruited to be a college athlete? Yes! That’s why you’re here!
Get Your Child Recruited
The Recruiting Code and the How to Get Recruited Guide help parents of high school athletes figure out the recruiting process so their child can become a college athlete without wasting thousands of dollars on a recruiting service or worrying their child will miss out on amazing opportunities.
You can figure out how to get your child recruited
If you fail to figure this out you’ll end up hiring a recruiting service to do what you could have done yourself.
Or…your child will have to accept the one bad offer they get from a college coach.
Or…your child’s dreams of being a college athlete will be destroyed. After graduation, your child will quit their sport. Forever.
But you can do this! The Recruiting Code is here to help.
What The Recruiting Code is NOT:
- The Recruiting Code is NOT a scholarship promise. I hate false promises of full-ride scholarships for every athlete. Those are lies. Nothing in life comes easy. Getting a college scholarship is no different. I can teach you what to do but the results will depend on the hard work you – and your child – are willing to put into recruiting. Plus a little bit of good luck.
- The Recruiting Code is NOT a recruiting site that charges you money to do the work for you. I do not write your emails or send them to coaches for you. I won’t create your athlete’s resume. If your child is dedicated to becoming a collegiate athlete, you can do a better job yourself. You don’t need a service. Instead, I am like a coach pushing you to do your best, but I cannot take your place in the game.
Feel confident about college recruiting
The Recruiting Code gives you the resources you need to replace your confusion and uncertainty with knowledge and confidence.
- Read unbelievable articles that tell you exactly how to get your child recruited.
- Plus you can read fantastic interviews with college coaches at every level from a variety of sports. Actual coaches telling you exactly what they’re looking for? Score.
- I’ve written the How to Get Recruited Guide that takes all the ideas from this website and lays them out in a step-by-step format that is easy to follow. Every parent can help their child make college dreams come true. And the How to Get Recruited Guide costs A LOT less than a recruiting service. Because I don’t think you should go into debt just to get your child recruited.
