Module 10: College Recruiting Lesson Body Draft Module 10 — College Recruiting Module Promise College recruiting is not a reward. It is a market. That is the first thing parents need to understand. A player does not get recruited because the family spent money.A player does not get recruited because they love the school.A player does not get recruited because they played travel soccer for ten years.A player does not get recruited because they attended camps.A player does not get recruited because they are “good.”A player gets recruited when a college program believes that player can help its roster, fit the school, meet academic standards, make financial sense, and solve a specific need. That is the market. Parents often enter recruiting too emotionally. They think effort should equal opportunity. They think being loyal to a club should produce placement. They think playing in a strong league automatically creates recruitment. They think ID camps are lottery tickets. They think college coaches are watching every showcase like talent scouts in a movie. That is not reality. College coaches are building rosters under constraints. They are managing: Position needs Graduation years Transfer portal pressure Budget Scholarship allocation Admissions Academic standards Roster limits Injuries Team culture Coachability Player retention Institutional fit Competitive level Timing The player is being evaluated against all of that. This module teaches parents how to think about college recruiting without fantasy. The standard: The player must be roster-useful, academically admissible, financially realistic, and wanted by that specific staff.
