Was on the phone yesterday with a coach who started his career in HS, moved to college and went on to win a Super Bowl. In talking with him he had this to say, “coaches today work too much and they make their kids work too much. Go have a life and have fun!” Interesting…

Prospects: If possible avoid doing back to back summer camps. It will wear you out. If you must: stay fresh and understand recovery, diet, hydration and rest are key. It matters! @5asONE #RecruitingTips #CollegeFootballRecruiting #FootballRecruiting #RecruitingAdvice #GetRecruited

Can’t wait to see our boys tomorrow! @NimitzFootball3

Prospects: Stop posting that you got a form letter and a camp invite. Focus on the schools that have actually come to your school and have reached out to you and/or your coach. Stop trying to impress and win social media. Keep the main thing the main thing. It matters! @5asONE #RecruitingTips #CollegeFootballRecruiting #FootballRecruiting #RecruitingAdvice #GetRecruited

🚨 Parents of High School Football Recruits One of the biggest mistakes I see in recruiting is when parents try to take over the process instead of supporting it College coaches are evaluating much more than film, statistics, and athletic ability. They are evaluating how a prospect communicates, handles adversity, interacts with others, and whether the family will be a positive fit within the program Over the years, I have seen talented players miss opportunities because of poor communication, unrealistic expectations, social media issues, constant parental involvement, or simply a lack of understanding of how recruiting actually works Some of the biggest mistakes parents make: 🔹 Speaking for their son during the recruiting process 🔹 Contacting coaches excessively 🔹 Treating camp invites as scholarship offers 🔹 Inflating height, weight, or testing numbers 🔹 Comparing their son to other recruits 🔹 Focusing too much on rankings and social media attention 🔹 Ignoring academic requirements 🔹 Chasing every camp without a recruiting plan 🔹 Becoming overly focused on NIL or one specific level of football 🔹 Creating unnecessary drama with coaches, programs, or teammates A camp invite is not an offer. Rankings do not determine a player’s future. More camps do not automatically lead to more opportunities. And playing at the highest level possible is not always the same as finding the right fit The best recruiting families: ✅ Allow their son to take ownership of the process ✅ Communicate professionally and respectfully ✅ Focus on academics as much as football ✅ Stay realistic about recruiting opportunities ✅ Trust the evaluation process ✅ Keep the focus on long term development and fit Parents should focus on helping their son become the best student, athlete, and young man possible. Be supportive, be realistic, trust the process, and allow your son to take ownership of his recruitment The families that navigate recruiting the best are usually the ones who stay humble, stay professional, and understand that recruiting is about finding the right fit, not winning a popularity contest 🏈 At the end of the day, the goal is not to win recruiting. It is to help your son find the right school, earn a degree, continue playing football, and create opportunities that will benefit him long after his playing days are over
