What teachers can expect from college football recruiting
Things teachers will notice during college football recruiting
Secrets the Pros use for fast 40 yard dash times!!
High school teachers of College Football recruiting prospects will definitely notice an increase in popularity. A good amount of students will want to associate with the football player being recruited on a regular basis. When my football recruiting process started I immediately noticed new friends that I never knew existed. New friends that offered me rides, parties and gifts. I think the main idea of this is to “make the football player remember you”. I notice a loss of aquaintences or people that used to associate with me. I attribute this to jealousy or them thinking that this would good to do so I wouldn’t think they were my friends because I was going to play college football. So popularity is one thing that teachers will definitely notice with their student who is a college football recruit.
Another thing that teachers can expect to see is that student getting pulled out of their class. Could be more or less depending on how high profile of a recruit the student is. I was getting pulled out on back to back days. However it can be very organized under the control of the High Schools head football coach. Or it could be overwhelming to the student, his peers and the school staff. It’s important that as a teacher you communicate with the head coach just so you can know to expect that the student may be pulled out of your or your colleagues class at some point. Coaches need to do a good job of communicating with these recruiting coaches so they can know when and what to expect. As a coach you can sit with the recruiting coach and the high school player or you can let the player handle this himself in a private area.
Football recruit attitudes
I can easily see how football recruits can develop these bad attitudes and a sense of cockiness. It’s all what everyone around him makes it to be. It comes from the way he was raised,the way he was coached and the way he was taught in the classroom. If Johnny is a cocky person and has been for the last 10 years don’t expect anything less if he is being recruited. This is why discipline is very important in your football program. And that doesn’t start when something big is happening. For example you want to teacher your senior “stud” linebacker to be respectful to adults. You shouldve instilled this in him as a freshman, right now you can start but don’t be disappointed if its too late.

Getting to know the recruit goes a long way in helping them through their college football recruiting process. Be supportive of the football recruit. Know that they are about to make the biggest decision up to this point in their life. Be understanding that they are stressed and may not be getting a lot of sleep, may be gone for a few days due to a college visit. Offer reasonable extensions and due dates on assignments. So you don’t appear to be against the recruit, but supporting of him. Go to his football games, find out his jersey number. Offer compliments, ask questions like: do you like your position or that was a great block or tackle you had in the game. Let them know that you care about them and their success. Make sure that they know you care about themand you are their for them, especially if they need to vent to you. In closing I just want to say to the recruit, don’t change no matter whats going on. Embrace this time and enjoy the experience but be humble and carry yourself with high regard. People look up to you. Good Luck!
