Am I in contact with 15–20 target programs?
The $100M Athlete: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Recruited by David Schuman https://square.link/u/RUsHmQQe
If the answer is yes, the next step is to evaluate quality over quantity:
Are these schools a realistic athletic and academic fit?
Have coaches responded directly (not just camp emails)?
Do they know who you are beyond your highlight clip?
Has any staff discussed visits, film follow-ups, or next steps?
If the answer is no, that doesn’t mean you’re behind—it means it’s time to tighten the plan:
Clarify your true recruiting level and position fit
Improve or update college-level film
Narrow your list to programs that genuinely match you
Communicate consistently and professionally
The goal isn’t to collect logos—it’s to create real conversations with programs that could offer you a spot. Strong recruiting momentum usually starts with 15–20 targeted relationships, then narrows quickly as mutual interest becomes clear.
