Getting Recruited: Building Relationships and Showcasing Your Skills
If you are interested in getting recruited by Davis & Elkins College Wrestling, you should get to know more about the school, what academic programs are offered, and important members of the coaching staff - these are the people you need to connect with. It’s important you build a relationship with the coaching staff. You can certainly start by filling out the Davis & Elkins College Wrestling’s recruiting questionnaire and getting on their list, but that’s only the start.
To get actively recruited, a college coach needs to see you compete, which is why it’s important to have an online athletic recruiting profile. High school student-athletes have a discoverability problem. And discoverability is the key to college exposure and recruitment.
Just having a recruiting profile doesn’t guarantee you will get recruited. You need your profile to showcase all of your academic and athletic achievements, and be able to instantly connect to college coaches who are interested. If you can’t quickly find and message any college coach you want, then you’re not solving your biggest problem in getting recruited for Wrestling.
