You know the flashing red light from Men in Black? The one that makes you forget everything you've just seen? FLASH! Everything you have heard about college recruiting has been wiped clean!

Now that that's out of the way, let's start with a clean slate and focus on one earth-shaking reality: COLLEGE RECRUITING CAN BE FUN!

Forget all the gloom and doom you've heard about NCAA rules and the complexities of the recruiting process. Those are minor details that can be dealt with along the way. The most important fact about college sports recruitment is this: you want to make a college team, and college coaches want you on their teams.

That simple fact is incredibly powerful. It means that college coaches are looking for you and that you're looking for them. When you find the right match, and college coaches start to shower you with attention, it's thrilling. And this experience isn't just limited to the top 2% of high school athletes. Any reasonably accomplished athlete can have this be their recruiting experience. It takes a little work up front to find the right college teams and to start communicating with college coaches. But once you set the ball in motion, college coaches will help you roll it forward.

Athletes who use CaptainU's Online Guidance have found that before long, you reach an inflection point, where the college coaches you have found and communicated with, start coming to you. It's an awesome feeling. The best thing is, they're coaches at colleges that are right for you, not random schools that have nothing to offer you other than a sports team.

You've spent your whole life developing your athletic ability, and now you deserve some recognition for that. If you communicate with coaches in the right way, you can get the recognition you deserve which is incredibly rewarding, empowering, and fun. Learn more about NCAA Division I recruiting.
