College coaches now recognize the popularity of social media platforms among their prospective recruits. Accordingly, coaches are active in following socials to identify and track prospects. Thus, take advantage of your social media to get noticed and promote yourself to coaches.
What are social media best practices to enhance your recruiting? Be creative. Include graphics and music. These will set you apart and catch the eye of coaches. Post a highlight or meet reel directly or through a link if longer length. To make sure that coaches can identify and assess you, provide a pointer on the video or details such as your number, jersey color and lane. Post a graphic of your relevant stats, times, averages and scores. Cover all relevant social platforms including those where coaches are spending time. Make sure that all of the content on your socials is appropriate and not offensive or controversial in order to avoid raising any red flags regarding your character. Getting recruited has never been more challenging so its important to be proactive on all fronts particularly your social media.
