The recruitment of high school athletes becomes more complicated and stressful each year.
At Athletic Recruiting Mentor, we are educating student-athletes about the recruiting process so that they can get noticed by college coaches. Athletic Recruiting Mentor helps you gain control
Many student-athletes don't have an athletic recruiting plan when it comes to the possibility of earning a college scholarship. It is disappointing to see a student-athlete miss out on an athletic scholarship simply because they are uninformed. Becoming informed can be done through much research or by cutting the learning curve by working with us.

Q & A
Q: I will be a senior football player next season. I only had limited exposure as junior. Is it too late to earn scholarship offers?
A: Not at all. There are good possibilities to earn a scholarship although you are definitely behind in the process but all is not lost! You will need to quickly put together a athletic recruiting plan beginning with your summer camp schedule. The secret to attending summer camps prior to your senior year is to only attend camps of schools that have shown real interest in recruiting you. Real interest is shown by more than a form letter received from a college. Hand written letters and phone calls are examples of real interest.

Q: Following is a question received from a parent. "My son had a really good spring season and a few coaches asked him to attend their one day camps. Our first camp will be... It will be a new experience for us, so any advice will be accepted and truly appreciated. He did get a few calls too."
A: This parent has the right idea. He is looking for knowledge to prepare in advance. The more prepared an athlete prior to a recruiting camp the better. Invites to one day camps is a good thing. Receiving calls is even better. It shows a really good level of interest. It doesn't guarantee an offer but it does show that the school has some level of interest.
Here are 8 quality tips to having a successful camp.
1. Work harder than the other guys at the same position
2. If the college recruiter/coach has mentioned that they would like to see a certain thing...show it...that's the reason they want you in their camp
3. Play fast...speed and quickness is the name of the game...but stay under control
4. Follow instructions...show that you are a great listener...very important because it shows that you are coachable
5. Ask the position coach, running position drills, for tips on how to get better at your position
6. Hustle to be first or near the front of every drill because it makes an impression and could lead to additional reps before the drill changes or before moving to another station
7. Have fun, play loose, and meet each challenge head on
8. Imagine yourself already playing at the college level when at the camps and during your next high school season...be a man amongst boys
Q: Question from a parent. "How will we know if a school will offer at camp?"
A: First, it depends. Plus you never really know until an offer is received. A player may know prior to the camp because the recruiter has said an offer will be given if certain skills are shown at camp. Many times coaches need to see a player in a different environment because they have questions about strength, technique, speed, etc. They want to see a player compete against their other recruits. If the coaches see what they are looking for then there is a good possibility an offer will be received. If the coaches like what they see but still have some questions then an offer may not be given but they may keep an eye on you in the upcoming season. Also, a coach may verbally offer at camp. Know that it is not a real offer until you see it in writing. If it is real, expect to receive an official offer letter in the mail in a few days/weeks.
