Hard work isn’t your issue.
Focusing on the right work is.

Too many coaches are giving max effort to low-impact tasks—while ignoring their biggest program challenges.

shares how to fix that:

1️⃣ Write down your 3 biggest problems
2️⃣ Score your effort (1–10) toward each one
3️⃣ Spot the distractions that steal your time
4️⃣ Start pouring energy into what actually matters

Discipline isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters most.

One coach made 4 simple recruiting adjustments—and saw major results.

✅ Used Zoom the right way
✅ Got his team involved early
✅ Sent personal voice notes
✅ Committed to consistent written communication

None of these required a bigger budget—just better ex*****on.

Being first in recruiting can give you a massive edge. Here’s where it matters most:

1️⃣ Campus Visits: Secure the first visit. It sets the tone and can even shut down their process early.

2️⃣ Asking for Commitment: Don’t wait. Most recruits are just waiting for you to bring it up.

Taking initiative shows confidence and leadership—and that’s what recruits want to follow.

Which of these are you doing consistently, Coach?

Why aren’t your top recruits fired up about your program right away?

It’s not personal—it’s about expectations.

Here are 3 key things to remember:

-Be okay not being their top choice early. Stay in it for the long game.
-Win their attention with consistent, emotional communication.
-Ask them to commit—and keep asking until they give you a yes or no.

Don’t just wait for excitement to build. Lead the way.

Which one of these strategies are you using right now? 👇

Tired of giving feedback that doesn’t stick?
Try this: “Start. Stop. Keep.”

Instead of vague advice like “lead more,” wants you to give direct actions like:
• START confirming recruit visits by text
• STOP dropping last-minute schedule changes
• KEEP crushing the scout reports

It’s quick, clear, and helps your staff win.

How would “Start. Stop. Keep.” change your next meeting?👇

Coaches: Want more focus, less stress, and a better grip on your day?

Start by cutting these 4 digital habits that knows are killing your productivity:

1. Leaving too many tabs open.

2. Checking your phone first thing in the morning.

3. Starting your day with TV or passive content.

4. Leaving notifications on.

You don’t need to work longer—just smarter.

Getting ghosted by recruits?

It doesn’t always mean they’re not interested. Often, they’re overwhelmed or unsure why your program stands out.

✅ Try new ways to connect—video text, a mailed letter, or even contacting their coach.
✅ Mix up your timing—an evening message may land better than a morning one.
✅ Start sharing your story weekly. Recruits can’t care about what they don’t understand.

You don’t need to chase every kid forever—but don’t quit too early either.

What’s your go-to move when a recruit goes quiet?

Coaches: Your recruiting efforts don’t need more hustle—they need more structure.

Try this from :
• Block 1–2 hours daily just for recruiting
• Silence distractions during that time
• Focus only on high-impact actions: calls, emails, campus visits
• Save admin tasks for before or after your recruiting window

Start with just 1 focused hour a day—you’ll be shocked at the results.

What would your ideal recruiting time block look like? 👇

Most coaches focus all their energy on recruiting the athlete. But that’s only half the battle.

✅ Over 60% of recruits say parents help narrow down school choices.
✅ Over 70% say parents clearly share opinions throughout the process.

Here’s how to stay in the game longer:

Identify the key influencers early (parent, grandparent, etc.)

Communicate with them consistently

Make your case—don’t leave it up to chance

Are you building relationships with parents as intentionally as you do with recruits?

Texting your recruits? You should be—it’s essential.

But don’t just ask how practice went. That’s what every coach does.

Here are 2 ways to make your messages stand out:

1️⃣ Ask open-ended questions that invite real responses.
2️⃣ Send short video messages to capture attention.

Both help you build better relationships—and stay top of mind.

How are you using texting in your recruiting strategy?👇

A great recruiting scoreboard isn’t about tracking more—it’s about tracking smarter. shares how to build one:

✅ Focus on 5–7 key metrics that actually drive commitments
✅ Set weekly & monthly targets to keep momentum
✅ Cut vanity metrics that don’t lead to real progress
✅ Make sure every effort is tied to a result
✅ Review and adjust monthly—what’s working stays, what’s not goes

Use your scoreboard to stop guessing and start managing your recruiting like a pro.
