When it comes to getting recruited, one of the most important things to remember is to maintain a positive and happy attitude, both as a partner and a player. College coaches look for athletes who demonstrate a positive attitude and strong character, so your approach and behavior during the recruitment process can make a big difference. Additionally, it's essential to stay open to making connections and learning about the process, as you never know where those connections might lead. Keep in mind that the landscape of recruiting has changed over time, so it's important to stay informed about the current steps and expectations. And always remember that even when facing competitive and challenging situations, staying positive and open can lead you to the right opportunities.

So it's very different , but there are still like some general themes that like completely are the exact same . And like we also have experience like with our college coaches of seeing them actively recruit people and what they look for and what they don't . So I'd say like the general stuff is like film , like get so much film of yourself , like more than you can imagine because you can always cut and edit the parts where you don't make your cut shaw or you don't get the play you wanted to make , but you have all the information there .

Um And you want to bring a light to the team , you don't want to bring like a darkness or , you know , hatred or anything . I think that's like , as long as you can go through like your recruitment process and be like , as positive and happy as a partner and a player as possible , you're going to go to the school you want to go to , it's all going to work out the way it's supposed to . But if you could just continue to be a good , good person throughout the whole process , that's really it .
