Pre-Recruitment Self-Assessment (Freshman–Sophomore)

The $100M Athlete: The Ultimate Guide to Getting Recruited by David Schuman https://square.link/u/RUsHmQQe

The early high school years are about building a foundation, not chasing offers. A pre-recruitment self-assessment helps athletes understand where they truly stand, what needs improvement, and how to prepare for future recruiting opportunities.

Athletic Development

Am I physically developing for my position (size, speed, strength, movement)?

Do I understand and execute my role within the team concept?

Am I improving year over year, not just relying on natural ability?

Skill & Football IQ

Do I consistently master fundamentals at my position?

Can I process plays quickly and adjust during games?

Do I compete with effort on every rep, even when not featured?

Academics

Is my GPA on track for college eligibility and admissions?

Am I building good study habits and time management skills now?

Do I understand NCAA academic requirements early?

Coachability & Character

How do I respond to coaching, correction, and adversity?

Am I dependable, disciplined, and a positive teammate?

Would my coaches advocate for me without hesitation?

Environment & Support

Do I have honest mentors evaluating my progress?

Am I in programs that develop me, not just promote me?

Am I patient and committed to long-term growth?

This self-assessment creates awareness and direction. Athletes who take ownership early put themselves in position to be evaluated, trusted, and recruited when the time is right.
