5 Ways to Maximize Your Recruiting During The Season

When the season is in full swing, the grind can feel non-stop. Between practices, games, schoolwork, and travel, it’s easy for recruiting to slip to the back burner. But if you want to keep your name in front of coaches, you can’t afford to go quiet for weeks at a time. Here are 5 ways to stay active and keep your recruiting momentum strong all season long.

Pre-Season Tip:

Before your first game, send your full schedule to every coach you’ve been in contact with — and post it on your X account. This keeps coaches informed, makes it easier for them to follow your season, and shows you’re organized and proactive.

1.) Send Your Film Weekly

After each game, clip your best plays and send them to coaches you’ve been in contact with. Consistent updates keep your name top-of-mind and show your growth over the season. Even a quick highlight reel from the past week can make a big difference.

Use an EXPO Campaign to consistently reach programs every week — making it easier to stay on their radar and saving you valuable time during the season.

2.) Keep Your Profile Updated

If you use a recruiting platform like EXPO Recruits, make sure your stats, highlights, and academic information are current. Coaches are more likely to reach out when they see fresh, verified updates rather than outdated information.

3.) Stay in Touch with Coaches

Even if you don’t have new film one week, send a short message to check in, share your recent game results, or talk about your upcoming schedule. Building and maintaining relationships is just as important as your on-field performance.

4.) Leverage Social Media

Post your highlights, photos, and achievements regularly. Tag your school, your team, and relevant recruiting accounts to maximize visibility. A strong social media presence can help coaches discover you outside of direct outreach.

X Tip: Pin your most recent film to the top of your X profile each week so it’s the first thing coaches see when they visit your page.

5.) Track Your Outreach

Create a simple spreadsheet or use a platform feature to log which coaches you’ve contacted, what you’ve sent, and when you followed up. Organization helps you avoid missed opportunities and keeps your recruiting efforts consistent.

Utilize your EXPO Profile to track activity and outreach all in one place.

Recruiting doesn’t stop once the season starts — if anything, it’s the best time to showcase your skills and progress. By staying organized, proactive, and visible, you can keep building your recruiting momentum from week one all the way to the final game.
