Coaches recruit online before they recruit in person. π
That is not a theory. That is exactly what college recruiting directors are telling us.
Before a coach ever attends a game, travels to a showcase, or picks up the phone. they have already searched your athlete's name online.
They are looking at Instagram. They are scrolling X (Twitter). They are evaluating the digital footprint your child has built, or has not built.
Here is what modern recruiting actually looks like:
1. A coach identifies a prospect through a stat database or a referral.
2. They immediately search that athlete's name on social media.
3. If the profile is inactive, incomplete, or unprofessional. the athlete is deprioritized before a single conversation happens.
4. If the profile is polished, consistent, and highlights real performance. the coach moves forward.
This is the new first impression. And most families do not know it is happening.
