"Coaches that I wouldn't have previously thought of to email were able to find me on their own and email me. It was very helpful in that aspect. I received many offers and emails from various college divisions and locations."
"Make sure you visit as many schools as possible to see what you like and dislike. Make a list about the pros and cons of each school. Just seeing the different campuses can help."
"You have to take matters into your hands. Send out letters, emails and videos to coaches and update your accomplishments often. What's great is beRecruited helped me to do this."
"I liked beRecruited's profile section and the ability to upload videos and photos. I found the college information and ability to contact coaches extremely useful. I liked being able to check the bookbag to see if any coaches expressed any interest."
"The letters to the coaches gave me the opportunity to communicate with some schools and get my name out there. It was very helpful in getting the ball rolling in my personal recruiting process and made it a lot easier. I also had help from my coaches but beRecruited definitely helped a lot."
"Never give up and know that if your first choice does not come through, there is always another school that will see your talents…Always stay true to yourself and your dreams."
"Start the process as early as possible. Contact the schools and coaches you feel would be a good fit from an athletic and academic standpoint, with a letter and performance DVD, if they have not contacted you already. You never know what a school's team needs will be. They can change every year. Also, the number of available scholarships they have each year changes….The recruiting process is a lot of hard work…"
"BeRecruited is an awesome tool to find schools with sport programs that fit each player. Keep your profile up to date and check out the schools that have interest in you."
"The feature I thought was most helpful was the section where you could see which coaches/colleges viewed your profile. Being able to have access to that would let me know which colleges I should follow up with."
"Stay positive. The coaches I spoke to from this site were very honest. Pick a school, not a coach. Coaches can be gone in the blink of an eye. I selected Harvard, because of the academics, job placement after graduation, great facilities for off-season training and a tradition of winning."
"BeRecruited helped me get exposure to a lot of different colleges across the country. Be aggressive in contacting colleges, don't wait for them to find you."
"Start early. It takes a lot of time and effort to be prepared to deal with all the coaches' calls and visits. Be patient and enjoy the process. Remember that the school you choose should be the right one for you not only for the sport you are choosing to play but also for the right academic fit."
"Start requesting information and filling out prospective athlete forms on university websites as early as your tenth grade year. Make contact and send DVDs early…update your profile regularly."
"I have tried other recruiting sites but did not get any scouts interested in me until I posted my information here. Coaches look at this site. I would tell anyone wanting to play college sports to join."
