The #1 reason coaches don’t watch your athlete at tournaments 👇
Because they’re not “finding” players during the event.
Summer showcases = crowded fields, multiple locations, limited time ⏱️
Coaches don’t wander hoping to discover someone.
They follow a list they built BEFORE they ever arrive.
That list comes from:
📽️ film
✉️ emails
📍 athletes who reached out with schedule + interest
If your athlete is on that list → they get seen on purpose.
If they’re not → they often never get watched.
Recruiting doesn’t start at the tournament.
It starts BEFORE it.
✔️ Send film early
✔️ Share your schedule
✔️ Build the connection first
✔️ Follow up consistently
Make it easy for coaches to find you.
That’s how recruiting actually works.
