He outlines four key issues and fixes: waiting to be discovered instead of proactively reaching out with schedules and details; failing to follow up when coaches don’t respond due to heavy workloads, especially in Division II and III; building a school list without an honest self-assessment based on current film, stats, and grades; and treating academics as separate from recruiting even though GPA, core courses, and eligibility are part of an athlete’s profile. He also offers a free College Recruiting Jumpstart Pack and references his book, The Athletic Recruiting Roadmap. 00:00 Why Good Athletes Get Missed 01:03 Free Recruiting Jumpstart Pack 01:39 Meet Coach Keith 02:21 Mistake One Waiting to Be Found 03:22 Mistake Two No Follow Up 04:15 Mistake Three No Realistic Fit 05:17 Mistake Four Ignoring Academics 06:04 Recap and Next Steps
